Reason.tv at Slamdance: The Porno-Terror Nexus--How the Patriot Act shut down Insex.com

[mengle2004]

The Patriot Act changed this country into something different. Not free anymore.

[ltaggs]

This is really too bad. High quality SS&C bdsm is hard to find. PD was amazing!

[ncktbs]

graphic sexual horror

[MacabreManifesto]

You deserve to be compensated ten figures for this patriot act bullshit.

[rhiannon650]

this whole thing makes me frightened of the world today and makes me want to cry

[rhiannon650]

doesnt  that make you want to cry?

[busyrand]

Law and is efficacy lies in how it is practiced.

The Bush administration practiced/applied the law the way they wished to simply because they could, to coincide with their Religious Right leaning policies.

The Obama administration has no such aims and would not apply the law the same way at all.

Too bad Insex got caught up in the same type of dragnet that canned Max Hardcore [who deserved more than he got for Raping girls on film].

Insex was 100% Consensual/Enjoyable on all ends.

[MrHoppyX]

I'd say the governement doing stupid things is one of the main causes of terrorism.

[BenBenBen08]

INSEX ist the best ever !!

[annamelia765]

They're not terrorists, but porn itself is just a big money maker. It's all about money.

[RomolaDesLoups]

@annamelia765 Right, fine, correct. But all businesses are about making money. what's your point?

[alphafirstoneyou]

why do governments act like that. intimidation and sneaky

[beefygoblin]

if they try to envoke that gag order after the movie comes out, its kinda a lost cause for the government. Not a smart move

[mastergx1]

so thats what happened to insex - fucking arseholes

[Keither9]

we are all naked under our clothes. What we do with what we have is not supported by our government so why can they profit by what they shut down? What is the objective in destroying an indipendents means of making a living other than social control which is the model used by other failed policies like the Catholics use JW's to reintergrate destroyed family rements after sex laws destroy the family. Sex is not evil, it's what people do to make more people, want to win or complain endsexlawnow!

[goddimmus]

The worst thing to happen to America was the invention of the "Patriot Act" .

[ReiMomo]

Those ppl from insex were really profesionals.

HQ BDSM ftw.

[nikkyo34]

Section 505 of the Patriot Act VIOLATED (NSL) your individual rights.

[robm425]

Sorry but the feature film of this documentary will NEVER happen!!!! Because of that gag order any production company around wouldn't touch this film with a mile long pole!!! I really think they should DVD release the documentry and go from there cause there is the only profit.

With 35k members and just half buy the doc it will be $350,000 profit plenty to cover cost

[samuils]

wo wo wo, hold on a second, govt. has the right too look into the bak's books, ever heard of Audeting??? Show the books, proove that you are not funding (yes alligation seems obsurd), and be done with it

[renegade2142]

"I may not agree with what you say, But I will fight till the death for your right to say it." Voltaire

Yet again, the government shows that it has the power and you must bow down to it. Saying that "Obama is too busy" is a cop out. It's obvious these gals have some voters remorse. I'm not really into S&M, but to say that they are terrorists is ridiculous.

[aaronbygrace]

america you are free - to do what we tell you -bill hicks

[NSResponder]

Simple solution: relocate your business to the EU or to Eastern Europe.

-jcr

[CountArtha]

Heh-heh...

"Gag order."

[amaduli]

If you think Obama will let go of the power that the Patriot Act grants, you're dreaming. Power is power, politicians are politicians.

[MetaMorphy]

You were giving away CIA trade secrets---that was your mistake!

[nikkyo34]

The source of the governments authority is the consent of the governed. This means that the government is not the ruler, but the servant or agent of the citizens; it means that the government as such has no rights except the rights delegated to it by the citizens for a specific purpose.

[TheFobster]

unless they're paid off

[Kartemest]

why would this get rated down?

[Nphyx]

Court system, constitutional rights, bah if they get in the way of silencing people we don't like, but we can't get enough of the population to support an amendment to change the constitution because a majority could give two shits about our moral outrage, why not just cheat? Let's invent a loophole that gives us the power to work outside the justice system instead. Yeah, what we need is a Gestapo to clean up this country the old fashioned way.

[incrediblemulk42]

What kind of terrorism are they associating with hardcore bondage porn? Certainly couldn't be islamic terrorism.

Although there is the whole deal with 72 virgins in heaven who I doubt would be 100% willing...

[johnycannuk]

is it possible to see it...seems to suddenly be not available...

[Transitiving]

This is the kind of back door attack the FCC uses on free speech. You cant even fight it in court.

[Nexus974]

Holy crap!!!
