Interesting statement. I do agree with Mr. Walters. I hope the courts do too.

I'm still waiting for some smart lawyer to toss in the hard facts that +70% of hard drives have porn on them. Maybe nobody on the jury would admit it, but, what are they going to do if 9 out of 12 of them have porn on their own computers.
