its hard to dispute you, simply because card processors wont back a US rape site.
However, should a US producer feel frisky & put up a free site depicting simulated rape, there is the potential of doing time, all dependent on the motivations of the dept of justice.
the obscenity law is vague, & in theory any hardcore content can be prosecuted if the DOJ is in the mood to burn witches. What holds back these witchhunts is that federal attornies have higher priorities & limited resources, the exact impediments faced by the Bush administration.
The US justice system has a tendancy to make the "due process" so long, cumbersome, & expensive, that the due process is, in essence, the punishment, even if the end game is that you escape time.
So yeah, your pretty much right. But should the Man target you for prosecution, the due process will kill you just the same.
