First off - I doubt that they are still in jail - they really didnt end up with that much time. I know his wife got 2 yrs and 2 months and I seem to remember he had a shortened term as well??
Second - understand that the videos that they were selling would be considered obscene in most communitites as they were rape and beast movies.
Third - they were set up by the postal inspector as they had a disclaimer on their site that specifically was written to protect them from that at the time
A good recollection of what really happened is here - http://www.totse.com/en/law/high_pro...es/aabust.html
Last - there are a lot of cases that were happening at the same time that did not ever go to court as they were thrown out - the closest we came to having anything happen is because a bunch of us had pics of a pornstar up that happened to have lied about her age (Traci Lords) and as soon as we found out we all took them down.

Now you have me wondering where I read they had his ass in jail for so long. Ill go digging....Jeff Hunter isnt exactly who would have an accurate account.

Actually I bet Far L would rememeber Am Action was actually competition for HomeGrown BBS... but Far L had a magazine.

I do remember that the tapes were pretty damn illegal even by our standards now. The EFF was a pretty hot supporter of them becaause of the Postal Inspector issue... I remember later they dropped their support.

Makes you wonder why the EFF [who still is around] wasnt leading the charge on this .xxx and Acadia fight from the begining.

I think Ill call and check. I bought a lifetime membership.

Then you probably remember that Windy City was even more "fringe" although they did well enough for themselves - and after they released the CDs of all of their content for other BBS's to use they kinda dissappeared as well

Windy City, The General.... McHenry's, Rusty And Edies.....
I remember a OneBBSCon when Rusty and Edie can out to the jaccuzzi totally raw.

I think thats where Far L got his tips on raw doggin' in the hot tub.

Probably remember the "Onion" or something like that, though not really adult. We use to play games online. There were a couple small ones but for the life of me I cant remember the names.

I still have a bunch of CDs full of mchenry's stuff mixed in with rustys and windy city - for the life of me I cant remember the reseller out of Florida that used to put them together and sell them to us for $10 to put in our 6-CD changers
