WARNING: Your government has passed a law that states that “a married couple who videotape or photograph themselves in the bedroom engaging in sexually explicit conduct would be required to keep records, affix disclosure statements to the images, and hold their home open to government agents for records inspections.”

The quoted portion of the sentence above is not from one of my XBIZ or Internext conference presentations. It is nothing less than the words of Judge Cornelia G. Kennedy from the well-reasoned opinion recently handed down by the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of Connection Distributing Co. et al vs. Keisler.

For those not familiar with the case and its historic ruling on Oct. 23, Judge Kennedy, writing for the majority of a three-judge federal appeals court panel, declared that 18 U.S.C. §2257 is unconstitutionally overbroad. That’s right, folks, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, one of the second highest courts in the land has struck down the law known to the industry as the 2257 regulations.

Needless to say the 6th Circuit ruling is a tremendously important event for the adult entertainment industry. One that should be noted with enormous gratitude by all in the industry to my esteemed colleague Mike Murray, one of the industry’s best attorneys, who has been quietly battling the government in the Connection Distributing case since 1995.
