Link of the Day - The Meese Commission
Today's Link:
The full text of the infamous The Meese Report provided by Porn-report.com. Links to the individual chapters are on the lefthand side of the page.
The report is divided into five parts and thirty-five chapters and details most aspects of the pornography industry, including the history of pornography and the extent of First Amendment protections. The report also documents what the committee found to be the harmful effects of pornography and connections between pornographers and organized crime. The report was criticized by some of the scientists whose research was utilized; they claim that their results were distorted and incongruent with the final report. Some also believe that Meese similarly minimalized evidence indicating that pornography is not dangerous. The report was also criticized by many in the pornography industry, calling it biased, incredible, and inaccurate. (Text from the wikipedia entry on the subject.)
