Excellent expose written by Greg Beato for reason.com about Rob Zicari and Janet Romano a married couple currently in prison for producing pornography of extremely questionable content. Their conviction was apparently the crown-jewel of a Bush task force on the obscene that Obama decided to leave in place. The article gets to the issue at all angles including the legalities, the ethics and the hypocrisy.

Of the campaign against him, in 2004, Zicari told reason.com:

This is the World Series, and they're the Boston Red Sox,” he exclaimed. β€œThey're getting a chance that they haven't had in 9 billion years, and if they blow this, they can never come back. Because where can you go after a jury says there's nothing wrong with these movies? How do you go after a movie involving a husband and wife and the guy's wearing a condom? How do you get someone to go after that, when you couldn't even prosecute a tape where the guy comes in the girl's mouth, and then he fucking stabs her? This is their one shot, and they fucking know it.”
