Shit just got real!
The covid bill passed last night and in the bill is a felony charge with 10 years in prison for illegal streaming of copyrighted material.
The movie and music business will follow up on this on mainstream platforms;
but what about illegal tubes streaming "copyrighted porn"?

Can porn be copyrighted? I say yes; but what really happens in the courts?

The first, and most widely cited case on the subject is Mitchell Brothers Film Group v. Cinema Adult Theater. 9 At issue was that the Defendants were exhibiting at their theaters pirated copies of the Plaintiff’s film Behind the Green Door. The Defendants claimed that the films were obscene and not protected by copyright. The judge viewed the movie, pronounced it obscene and issued a verdict for the Defendants.
