ARE WE ON THE THRESHOLD OF SEEING HARDCORE PORN ON PRIME TIME TV?
|
Are we on the threshold of seeing hardcore porn on prime time TV? Very possibly so, if we follow the logic of New York Post columnist Jacob Sullum. On July 24, 2010 in a column entitled “The trouble with outlawing porn,” Jacob Sullum, supported two recent federal court decisions, one of which invalidated the FCC’s broadcast indecency law enforcement policy, and the other of which dismissed obscenity charges against a commercial distributor of hardcore pornography. Sullum said the cases “show that prohibiting vaguely defined categories of speech undermine the rule of law as well as freedom of expression.” Robert Peters, President of Morality in Media, is available for Talk Show interviews to discuss this intriguing topic. Said Peters, “I wouldn’t dispute Mr. Sullum’s...

SUPREME COURT DECIDES NOT TO HEAR CASE INVALIDATING COPA: In Deciding Not To Review Apellate Court Decision, Kids’ Exposure To Internet Left Unchecked
|
NEW YORK (Jan. 28, 2009) – Last Wednesday, the Supreme Court announced that it would not review a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Philadelphia invalidating the Child Online Protection Act. COPA would have required websites that commercially distribute pornography to take reasonable steps to keep minors (defined as children under 17) away from the smut. Morality in Media president Robert Peters is available for interviews and had the following comments: Thanks to the federal courts in Philadelphia and the U.S. Supreme Court, more than a decade has now passed since Congress first enacted laws to protect children from Internet pornography, and there are still no enforceable laws that require persons who commercially distribute pornography on the Internet to take...

AARP PEDDLING PORN? Morality Crusader Says Association Is Guilty by Association
|
Advertising products aimed at helping older people improve their sex lives sounds wonderful. But what if, after taking a closer look at the situation, that advertiser got caught with its pants down? Upon investigation, Morality in Media president, Robert Peters, has exposed the truth about the producers and distributors of Better Sex, an adult sex education video series advertised in the January ’09 issue of the AARP Bulletin. On the surface, this advertising relationship looks innocent. AARP (or the American Association of Retired Persons) is promoting a video series designed to aid couples in their quest to enhance their sex lives. But, according to Peters, the issue is what lies beneath this noble cause, pointing out in a letter to AARP’s CEO (see below, following...

LARRY FLYNT WANTS A BAILOUT: ‘Adult Entertainment’ Industry Says It Has Been Hurt By Economic Downturn And Wants Taxpayer Money
|
NEW YORK (Jan. 9, 2009) – According to an article in yesterday’s Los Angles Daily News, “adult entertainment moguls” Larry Flynt (of Hustler and Barely Legal fame) and Joe Francis (of Girls Gone Wild fame) are asking “Washington for a $5 billion federal bailout” to offset the decline in “U.S. adult-entertainment industry revenue” from $18 billion three years ago. MIM President Bob Peters had the following response: Perhaps the two “adult entertainment moguls” are figuring that if they can keep Congress and the next President laughing abut the “U.S. adult-entertainment industry,” neither will do much if anything to ensure that the U.S. Justice Department vigorously enforces Federal obscenity laws against commercial distributors of hardcore “adult” pornography. Hardcore...

CHINA CRACKS DOWN ON PORN—AND POLITICAL SPEECH
|
First the good news: China cracked down on pornography this week. But the bad news is that Chinese leadership is playing the anti-porn card as an excuse to continue its censorship of opposing political freedom. Discussing the double-edge sword of censorship in China is Morality in Media President Robert Peters, who said, “China is to be commended for cracking down on Internet pornography,” citing the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 1973 in the obscenity case, Miller v. California, 413 U.S. 15, 34-35: “[T]o equate the free and robust exchange of ideas and political debate with commercial exploitation of obscene material demeans the grand conception of the First Amendment and its high purposes in the historic struggle for freedom. It is a ‘misuse of the great guarantees of...
