Film Wholesaler Charged With Obscenity
The U.S. Justice Department said that its 10-count indictment against
Extreme Associates and its owners
is part of a renewed enforcement of federal obscenity laws.
Federal prosecutors said today they have charged a North Hollywood
wholesaler
of adult films with violating federal obscenity laws as the government
steps up a
campaign against the major distributors of adult entertainment.

Of course there are limits in regards to freedom of speech. They are as
follows:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech,
or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and
to
petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Everything else is, of course, allowed. -Sunder
