Court Rules Free Internet Porn Okay
By Graeme McMillan on February 3, 2011
Official: Free internet porn is not illegal. Nor is it unfairly competing with porn companies who'd rather you paid for your thrills, according to a California Appeals Court, which has dismissed a case against one free site, Redtube.com, as an unfair attack on free speech.
According to plaintiff Kevin Cammarata, Redtube.com - essentially, YouTube for porn - has caused "many millions of dollars of damages to proprietors of adult entertainment websites," and "had a massive negative impact on the business model of adult website proprietors." It's an argument that the court disagreed with, citing the fact that many if not most of the videos available are licensed previews intended to direct viewers to paysites to see more - and that that's not something that's restricted to the porn industry:
The undisputed evidence showed that Bright obtains most of the videos it shows on Redtube free of charge from advertisers who pay Bright to display their videos containing their ads. Fundamentally, there is no difference between Redtube and a radio station in the early 1900s that broadcasted records it obtained for free from a music store and, in return, told its listeners where the records could be purchased. (See www.oldradio.com/current/bc_spots.htm; last visited Dec. 7, 2010.) In both cases the broadcaster's purpose is not to destroy compe ion or a compe or but to attract patrons to its broadcast site where they will, hopefully, respond to its advertisers' messages.
Cammarata's problem, they conclude, is based more on a problem with the business model of pay adult sites than anything free porn sites are doing... which may be true, or could possibly mean that the judges would just like there to be more free porn on the internet.
ok, thanks
You're welcome.
activist judges at it again.
Free porn is a human right!
Well-played, sir.
85% chance the ruling judge wasnt wearing pants behind the bench
Great.
Hey Darrin...... you.
This is why no one likes you, because when someone posts something that's worth a bit of a laugh, you don't ing get it because you're a re . If it doesn't have a video along with it, you don't understand that it could possibly be funny and you reply with, "ok, thanks". Which is ironic, because you think you're the one being funny or sarcastic and it just makes you come off as more of a raging bag.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say you and wild cobra are friends in real life. I'm going to go out on another limb and say your closet is littered with Ed Hardy clothes. And finally, I'm going to go out on one more limb and say that you absolutely love .
off bag.
Wow! That's quite a rant for someone who wasn't even responding to something you posted. One could wonder about you and El Nono.
Yeah, yeah, I know; "Yonivore, you! This is why nobody likes you..." and on and on it goes.
.....your closet is littered with Ed Hardy clothes
That's a great insult. I always thought those clothes were re ed.
lol darrin trollin the ed hardy outta people
Whenever you quote one of my posts, I feel dirty, like I need a shower. Please refrain from commenting on anything I may post in the future, for you are "icky".
The stuff George watches is illegal
your ignorance is illegal
Porn Industry is just mad that regular people have been making better porn the last decade, that's free on sites like youporn.com, pornotube.com, etc.
The problem for the porn industry is that it's funner and more enjoyable to just make your own porn.
