Outraged that the smug, hypocritical asshole who helped create that
law is getting bitchslapped by it? You gotta be kidding!

And, actually, I'm not particularly outraged by that law. It basically
establishes 18 as the age of consent with respect to sexually explicit
speech between individuals on the Internet. I don't find that any more
draconian than a state age of consent law set at 18 or the law
requiring porno actors be 18.
