Missed It: CBLDF Celebrates Appeals Court Decision Against Oregon Statutes

The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund posted a long, celebratory message on their news feed in support of a decision of the Ninth Circuit court of appeals that deemed unconstitutional two Oregon statutes regarding the distribution of sex education and certain non-obscene material. While the state tried to arge that the statutes only applied to hardcore pornography, the court found they applied to a variety of artistic material including the manga Berserk and specific Judy Blume novels. The CBLDF, Powell's Books and Dark Horse Comics were part of the group challenging those statutes.
