Feds raid and close down text-based porn site

Just found some. The Free Speech Coalition, which, in a stunning show of irony, I cannot access from work, is reporting that "Rosie's" house was raided and her hard drives were indeed taken but that no charges have been filed.

A couple of other interesting things. First, it was not a text-only site but rather a text-and-audio site. So there's a possibility that the feds were interested in the audio aspect -- did she have obscene audio of minors? Second, she shares an attorney with the other guy who got raided this week, the one allegedly swapping pictures of dead Iraqis for porn. That's not particularly unusual; once an adult business is charged every first amendment attorney in the country wants to represent it but not that many want to do the day to day drudgework of vetting content and writing disclaimers But it may yet be interesting.

Wait, wait...this is not an independent source. It merely refers to the YNOT site that gets its info from the RRS site.
 
Well that'll learn me. Coffee, then internet. Still, if YNOT talked to the site's attorney, that adds at least a little something, no?
 
shanek,

I was wondering where you'd gone hiding.

Tough luck for you. What will you do now?

Wow Shane, you must be flattered. It isn't everybody who has their own stalker. I might add, for all the total insignificance of libertarians, they certainly have inspired a rather devoted/obsessed coterie of detracters.
