This is news to me!  I thought that to be illegal it had to be found to be  
"obscene" and "of no social value", or somesuch.  Of course I still haven't
figured out who does the evaluation, and probably neither has the police.  So
maybe that's why you don't see your local convenience store owner in jail for
selling the stuff.

Otherwise, a very good article.
