Default Adult Attorney Warns Against Censorship Increase

For marketers hoping that the end of the Bush administration meant the end of moves to restrict media, the increase in attacks coming from the Left may come as somewhat of a surprise.

Default Re: Adult Attorney Warns Against Censorship Increase

From the article cited above:

*** Noted First Amendment attorney Lawrence G. Walters, Esq., recently commented on this new wave of censorship from the Left, which is increasing now that they're in power.

"The adult industry has been fighting back against the wave of censorship from the Right advocating decency issues, however a new threat has emerged from the emboldened radical Left: Political Correctness," Walters told XBIZ. "This culture war has evolved to include mainstream movies, music and games — as well as the more traditional adult media."

"Leftist academics are calling for the suppression of certain voices so that the messages of 'oppressed' groups can be more clearly heard," Walters said. "Numerous defamation suits have been filed against anonymous posters on Internet forums, seeking to silence certain viewpoints."

Walters recently addressed the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco in a session entitled "Silencing the Censors."

"We are in a culture war here," Walters told the audience. "Like it or not, the video game industry is on the frontline of a war between the family values groups on one hand and the civil libertarians on the other hand. We didn't ask for this — we're just trying to entertain people with a product the public seem to want." ***
I guess it's kinda of like Pete Townsend's lyric in "Won't Get Fooled Again":

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
