Missed It: CBLDF’s Friday Updates On Two Cases

imageTwo reports of note spun out from the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund's increasingly active on-line presence, specifically its update on Friday. The first is that a Missouri man named Christjan Bee entered a guilty plea for charges related to pornographic comics found on his computer. Bee did not contact the Fund for assistance, so Executive Director Charles Brownstein has to speak carefully, but I think he does well noting that he's not convinced the "incest comics" involved were actionable, and that there are comics that can be described that way with obvious artistic merit.

The second report I wanted to spotlight is this one on a letter in support of the Seattle Area Library's defense of material for which they recently were attacked, including Hero Heel 2. Keeping a hand in on such matters is a significant outgrowth of their proactive philosophy under Brownstein.
