Robbie - I was at his studio and his home later that night after the police departed. There wasn't much left. A camera, a tripod. Some lights. At his house, they went through his teen daughter's bedrooms and seized their music cd's. They took his checkbook. He was so highly respected in this industry, a leader on 2257 compliance. He had a few friends. His legal defense fund raised maybe $300. He was absolutely not guilty or even close to guilty. The court in this very conservative, Republican county, determined that the search was illegal as hell, but even on the facts, he was not guilty. I went to New Orleans on Mike's behalf and he introduced me to the adult internet. It is one of the saddest stories I've ever seen. That is why I truly hate defamation like this. I will not permit ilovelupe.com to be hurt by this garbage. Not on my watch.
