According to Slate, downloading "obscenity" on the Internet is punishable by up to five years in jail. What qualifies as obscenity?
Materials that "appeal to the prurient interest," depict "sexual conduct" in an patently offensive way, and lack "serious literary, artistic, political, and scientific value."
Whoa. Looks like we are a web savvy Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. And you all are Bonnie and Clyde. But, before we panic and board the train to Bolivia, it should be noted that these obscenity laws have fallen into a "deep coma" and are almost never prosecuted. So no one will be going to jail for that eel sex video we downloaded last week - although someone probably should.
