Could be an interesting test of whose laws govern what gets published where
-- the net provides such instantaneous access to all kinds of info
(violence, guns, sex, etc) -- who "rules"?

Starr faces 'porn' allegation
The report contains explicit sexual details
A German journalist is looking at whether the special
prosecutor, Kenneth Starr, could be prosecuted for
publishing "pornographic" material in his account of
President Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky.
Wenzel Pleil has hired a lawyer to push for criminal
charges in Germany and the US against Mr Starr for what
he argues was the distribution of pornography on
the Internet and on television.
The reporter on the Flensburger Tageblatt newspaper said:
"Pornographic material was
available in every nursery in Germany".
Herr Pleil, father of a four-year-old girl, said he also
felt it was "unacceptable to watch a person dragged
through the dirt with the blessings of the state".

Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they
should live next door and just visit now and then.
