This makes for a great read.


The twenty-eight-year-old founder of nowthatsfuckedup.com, a site where guys swap sexually explicit shots of their wives and girlfriends, was arrested in October at his Lakeland, Florida, home -- a raid in which Wilson was cuffed and his computer seized. Now he's out on bail and possibly facing life in prison after being hit with one of the stiffest obscenity charges in the history of the Net. But there's burgeoning doubt over which dirty pictures really landed him behind bars: the site's quotidian porn or its hundreds of graphic images, allegedly uploaded by U.S. soldiers, of dead Iraqis.


I think they wanted his computer more than anything. I can't see him getting convicted and even if he is a higher court would imho overturn it. However he is in for some pain on this one. It could be a while before he is free and of course this could cost him hundreds of thousands.

You always have to be careful when you allow users to upload things to your site...

With this in mind, who is hosting this site?

The DOJ has declared war on internet p0rn, so anything's possible this day and age.

How about the 16 year-old girl arrested for posting pics of HERSELF on myspace.com?Â*Â*They say she's the victim AND criminal.Â*Â*This government is getting f-ed up.
