Someone has to fight the government to protect all of our rights. No one here wants to be that person, but some here eventually will be.
I can't edit this post, so I wanted to clarify that obviously no lawyers will tell you to ignore obscenity laws. As a business, you need to be very aware of them. But what free speech lawyer doesn't personally argue and believe that obscenity laws are unconstitutional?
