Prelude to Indecency

As Congress was debating the CDA, I posted this page as a protest against the Communications Decency Act in particular, and against the idea of government control of communication in general. The page contained material which most people consider innocuous or even inspiring, yet which seemed to my legally untrained mind to clearly fall under the legal category of "indecent."

Then Congress passed the Act, and under its terms I would have liable for $200,000 fines and/or 10 year jail sentences for posting to the World-wide Web these excerpts from the Bible, literature, and art. Naturally, with this sort of a threat over my head, I did not leave the "indecent" material online. Some of it I removed, other I "censored"--in order to give a good idea of what great works of art may look like when governments are allowed to control them. Also I ranted and raved about the Act and its effect on public discourse on the Internet, and even found one tiny loophole which allowed me to continue to display my horribly indecent bible excerpts and so on despite the Communications Decency Act (I simply displayed them in a time frame that fell between 12 midnight and 5 AM for all U.S. time zones--the Supreme Court in its infinite wisdom has specifically allowed the presentation of indecent material during that time).

Censored and Ranting . . . or Original Flavor

You can find the original version of The Indecency Page here (look at it quick, before they ban it again!).

My Opinion

In fact, I do personally believe that people should refrain as far as possible from saying indecent, naughty, nasty, bad, or rude words and from taking, publishing, or viewing naughty, nasty, and generally nude pictures. People should spend more time reading the Bible (except for the naughty, nasty, rude, crude, and nude parts which they should blot out with a heavy black marker and then staple the pages together so as to avoid trying to guess what lies beneath the blotted out parts*) and less time viewing Baywatch.

People should personally try to do all these things, and I applaud them if they do. But government should keep its big fat not-very-intelligent and very-heavy-handed butt** out of it. It's none of their business.

That is my opinion.

(If you want to see plenty of good reasons why the government should keep their big grubby hands off our communications, you might want to check out the Digital Freedom Network.)

Notes:

(*I had a friend who actually did this to his Bible, but that is a story for another occasion . . . )

(**Now that I am officially and legally allowed to, I just can't restrain myself from making offensive references to sex and excretion whenever possible.)

Know Your Indecency . . .

Compressed down into a very small nutshell, the Communications Decency Act says:

1. You can't send indecent material to people under the age of 18.
2. You can't make available indecent material in such a way that people under the age of 18 can access it (i.e., on a WWW site or a usenet newsgroup).
3. You can't advertise the existence of indecent material that is available to people under the age of 18.
4. Internet Service Providers cannot knowingly allow their equipment to be used to do #1, #2, or #3 (ISPs are off the hook if they don't know about it).

While the rest of us head off to enjoy the indecency (knowing now how illegal it is has undoubtedly increased our anticipation a hundredfold), the masochists in the group may wish to make a small diversion here and flail yourselves with the Medium-To-Medium-Large-Nutshell Version Of What the CDA prohibits. Hardened sado-masochists will also wish to arm themselves with The Complete And Unexpurgated Version Of What The CDA Prohibits, Including Many Diverse Opinions And Other Ramblings (try THIS on your friends to reduce them instantly to a whimpering pile of blubber).

News Flash!

Well, I scarcely need to add that our highly trained Interactive Applications Group here at The Indecency Page got right on the job, wrote the necessary scripts, programs, mark-up codes, compilers, and operating systems in a flash, and wah-lah! The Indecency Page is once again available in its fully indecent glory to APPROVED AND AUTHORIZED ADULTS ONLY, exactly as the law written by our revered and esteemed congressmen and -woman allows. Praise be to Yahveh and the FCC! Click here for more information and to prove your adulthood!

Older newsflashes are still available.

The Official Pre-Indecency Agreement [NEW]

Only one slight and certainly insignificant problem gives us pause. Just exactly how is the highly trained and dedicated staff here at The Indecency Page to determine WHICH of you, our dearly beloved readers, is above the ripe old age of 18? Should we lurk around in our ISP's router, trying to reverse-engineer everyone's b****date from their IP numbers? [CENSORED: Explicit reference to the explicit and inevitable result of undeniable sexual activity.] Should we require phone numbers from everyone so we can call their mother and see if they're allowed? Should we ask cleverly worded questions to which only over-18-year-olds know the correct answer ("Is the term 'Rap Music' an oxymoron?", "Who is smarter, you or your parents?", etc.).

No, no. None of these ever-so-clever methods is necessary. Our foresightful congressmen and -woman have solved this hairy problem for us in advance. Based on the astute analysis of Section 47 U.S.C. 223(e)(5)(B) performed by our highly trained legal staff here at The Indecency Page, it seems that our all-wise, all-knowing legislators have made the following Official Congressionally Approved Age Verification Methods available for proving your legal majority and subsequent right to enjoy indecency and the other pleasures of life that are restricted from minors so they won't get too uppity. Please select the most convenient method to fit your busy lifestyle:

1. Send us your credit card number. Now the law REQUIRES us to VERIFY this credit card number. We apologize most sincerely in advance, but the only reliable way our corporate bean-counters could figure out to verify your credit card number is to charge some hefty amount to it. If the charge comes through OK, then we know it's a good'un. So, thanks for selecting Official Congressionally Approved Method #1, and don't worry--we'll let you know how much you donated.
2. Open a debit account with The Indecency Page. OK, here's how this works. You send us a nice fat check payable in Officially Approved Adults-Only Dollars. No Immature Juvenile Dollars accepted--Adult Dollars only, please. Just to be on the safe side, and as an added Official Verification Method, make it out for enough that it's pretty obvious that no snot-nosed kid could afford to pay that much on the sort of allowance parents are paying these days. Then, besides being granted access to the Top Secret Adults-Only Indencies of The Indecency Page, you can also use your Official Congressionally Approved Indecency Page Debit Account to buy any and/or all of the fine Top-Secret Top-Quality Indecent and Illicit Merchandise that you have certainly noticed being offered for sale here on The Indecency Page.
3. Send me your Officially Approved Adult Personal Identification Number. The Officially Approved Adult Personal Identification Number is a Top Secret number handed out to adults only upon reaching the age of adulthood. Never heard of it? Well, then. You're not really an adult, are you? You were trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the staff here at The Indecency Page so you could sneak a look at all our titillating little tidbits, weren't you? Well, you might as well give up now. The highly trained staff here at The Indecency Page has become so adept at intercepting illicit Adult Personal Identification Numbers that you don't have a whisker's chance in Hell of getting in thataway. Those who have and know the Officially Approved Adult Personal Identification Number, however, are heartily invited to send it in for immediate access.
4. Direct verification. OK, none of the Official Congressionally Approved Methods working for you so far? Have bad credit, don't need Indecent Merchandise, forgot the Officially Approved Adult Personal Identification Number and can't find anybody who'll tell it to you again? Well, then Official Congressionally Approved Method Number 4 is for you! All you have to is show up at The Indecency Page Wordwide Corporate Headquarters here at 5916 Arlington Avenue, Raytown, Missouri, USA. Bring along with you a currently valid Driver's License, official copy of your birth certificate, valid passport, and an official signed, legally notarized statement specifying that you are above 18 years of age and further that you will not divulge any of the Top Secret Contents of The Indecency Page to anyone who has not been certified an adult by Official Congressionally Approved Method Number 1, 2, 3, or 4. Then, after our highly trained staff here at The Indecency Page World Corporate Headquarters has verified and cross-checked your identity, age, marital status, and criminal record with the FBI, CIA, NSA, KGB, Driver's License Bureau, and State Property Tax Commission (a simple process taking only a few short days), you will immediately be issued your own private, personal, Top Secret Adult Personal Access Code which you are not to divulge to anyone under any circumstances under penalty of law.
5. FLASH! Time of Day Verification! FLASH! Although The Indecency Page's crack software development team has been working day and night, you have probably noticed that they have not been able to get any of the previous four clever and oh-so-reliable adulthood verification methods actually working on a real computer. But don't give up yet! Our top-flight legal team, in close collaboration with the FCC and taking into account many important Supreme Court decisions, has come up with a real, workable, and best of all, FCC approved verification method! Yes! YES!! YES!!! Gird up your loins and click here to prove your adulthood and view the TOTALLY UNCENSORED, ADULTS-ONLY VERSION OF THE INDECENCY PAGE! WARNING! Do not attempt to access this link unless you are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that you are a bona-fide, notarized adult! Duplicity will be immediately detected and dealt with using the HARSHEST POSSIBLE LEGAL REMEDIES!

   NOTE to anyone who strongly feels like an adult, yet somehow managed to fail Adulthood Verification Method #5: Adulthood Verification Method #5 relies on a TIME-tested (wink) and infallible property of juveniles (wink wink) which has been confirmed by the FCC and Supreme Court and which is enforced upon all juveniles without exception, by their mommies and daddies (wink wink Wink WINK wINk wiNK wInk). So if you failed the first time around, you might wish to try again at a different TIME (WINK WINK w-WINK!) such as that which the S-U-P-R-E-M-E C-O-U-R-T (wink-wink-wink-wink-wink) has determined that no helpless children are engaging in rotten or naughty behaviours (winkawinkawinkawinkwink!). P.S. This entire note has been a big fat H-I-N-T (wink-wink) to adults only, that no child will ever be clever enough to figure it out, because at the only TIME OF DAY (yaaaaaaAAAWWWWWWWWwwnnnnn!) (W-wink, W-wink, w-WINK!) when it will do them any good, they will undoubtedly be feeling too SLEEPY-HEADED, GROGGY, and GRUMPY ((WINK!)) to figure out such a clever H-I-N-T.

   Minor Legal Note: Our crack legal team noted one small loophole in our Adulthood Detector: It only bars U.S. juveniles from the page. Foreign juveniles will be able to get in like crazy. We asked our resident expert on foreign relations, A.N. Oughtsee, for his advice on handling this matter. A.N.'s down-to-earth and sensible reply:

   Ah jist hard frum mah frien' heer down t'th' 'Mercan Leejun thut uh pack-uh goldurned furreners been lookint this yeer infermashun. [Editor's Note: Mr. Oughtsee seems to be operating under the delusion that any large building where groups of people get together to talk, play bingo, and eat lunch is called "The American Legion". We have tried many times to cure him of this annoying trait, but he continues to refer to Indecency World Headquarters as "The American Legion". We find it slightly ironic, but oh, well . . .] Now ahm warnin' yuh, this yeer page is made fer Red Blewded 'dult 'Mericans ONLY! So if yuh ain't a 'Mercan, GIT LOST! GIT! Me an' good ol' Pat Buchanan is workin' on a way t'keep th'whole messa slimy grimy furreners frum layin' their grubby ol' eyes on this yeer stuff, but we ain't got it purficted yet, so in the meanerwhile, JEST GIT!

Indecent Beans Give . . . [NEW]

So, to make a long story short, the Multi-Globular Corporate Accounting Department here at Imu-Glo-Ho decided to mobilize its substantial financial resources to determine just exactly how much moolah our ever-beloved congressmen and -woman had cost us in enacting this vital piece of legislation. The Official Corporate Report is here presented for your perusal. I do not wish to alarm any of our highly valued stockholders, but Dean Witter Reynolds did downgrade Imu-Glo-Ho's previously rip-roaring stock from "Buy" to "Sell like crazy!" on receipt of this report, and our esteemed Multi-Globular Board of Directors and specially invited scantily clad guests were immediately cabled and instructed to return from their luxurious vacations 0.154 days earlier than scheduled.

Processing Costs: The Indecency Page, 300 hits per day

Whew. It's a good thing The Indecency Page is run by a humongous multi-national multi-globular company that can absorb these costs with only a 0.154 day reduction in luxurious vacation allowance! If we were just some li'l old two-bit company run outa somebody's basement or something, well, we'd probably go right on under. Well, "Survival Of The Fittest", that's our multi-globular company motto here at Imu-Glo-Ho, and with a little help from our good friends^H^H^H^H^H er, I mean casual acquaintances--purely by chance, you know--down at the House and the Senate, it looks we've managed to make our motto work for us.

And as for the rest of you . . . well, sorry Charlie. Better luck next time.

With little dollars signs floating continuously around in ours eyes, or crack staff here at the Indecency Division began a frantic worldwide search for cybersmut--you know, that stuff that everybody just knows is lurking around every corner of cyberspace--and other such nasties and naughties as infallibly would bring the public streaming into our corporate headquarters, and keep the cash streaming at high speed into our corporate coffers. It didn't take long--we soon found a whole collection of titillating cyber-indecency, and thus we have . . .

Indecency Exposed!

All of the items in this section WERE indecent, annoying, otherwise naughty. But now, thanks to the Communications "Decency" Act, they have all been stripped bare and/or sent to outer oblivion. In other words, we have either censored them or simply remarked out the HTML links so that it is completely and utterly impossible for you to follow them now, especially if you are a child or other similar person with underdeveloped mental capacity.

You are welcome to snoop around the page trying to imagine what you COULD HAVE seen, way back when the First Amendment was still the law of our fair land. Or, you can go ahead and use Official Congressionally Approved Adult Verification Method Number 1, 2, 3, 4 and/or 5, in which case you will get your Official Congressionally Approved Top Secret Adult Indecent Access Code, which will immediately allow you to once again enjoy all the filth and sleaze available here at The Indecency Page.

In the meanwhile . . . read'em and weep:

[Reminder: the TOTALLY UNCENSORED ADULTS ONLY VERSION OF THE INDECENCY PAGE is available to BONA-FIDE ADULTS ONLY, who may click here to prove their adulthood. JUVENILES AND OTHER PERSONA NON GRATA NEED NOT APPLY!]

Local indecencies. This is our own personal stash of indecency that we maintain here at Indecency World-Wide Headquarters:

• CLICK HERE TO VIEW OBSCENELY LEWD, LASCIVIOUSLY INDECENT FILTH
• This indecency is one I really like, for many reasons. It is an excerpt from The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey (New York: Avon Books, 1976). The book is a wild romp through the back roads of Southern Utah, as our heroes throw a monkey wrench into the path of advancing civilization. Worst of all, it is recommended by Playboy ("Excellent high adventure!"). I found portions of Chapter 21 to be deliciously indecent.
• Indecency is everywhere! There's indecency in my mail box, in my library, in my basement, in my coat closet, in my ice chest, in my mother's jam, in . . . in . . . in . . . EEEEeeeeek!!!!!!! Even in my . . . . . . Bible:
  • Onan's Indiscretion
  • The Men of Sodom
  • Lot's Daughters
  • The Rape of Tamar
  • Rabshakeh Makes an Indecent Suggestion to the Servants of Hezekiah
  • A Gallery of ****
  • Two Whores, Together With a Graphic Description of Their Activities
  • Solomon's Bride in All Her Glory
• The definition of indecency is itself indecent.
• That 16th Century pornographer Botticelli contributes his share to our indecencies with a disgusting depiction of The B**** of Venus. . . [CENSORED: Explicit reference to the explicit and inevitable result of undeniable sexual activity.]
• That dreaded 18th Century purveyor of lewdness and indecency Jacques Louis David adds a filthy rendition of The **** ** *** Sabine Women [CENSORED: Explicit reference to deviant sexual activity.] to our already revolting collection . . .
• Not wanting to be left out, the Pro-Lifers have contributed their share to our indecency--and yup, I do mean the upright, hyper-Christian PRO-Lifers, NOT those nefarious old immoral liberal and all-around-good-fer-nothin' Pro-Choicers. Connoisseurs of indecency won't want to miss this juicy Pro-Life morsel.

Worldwide Indecency. These are particularly juicy items that our dedicated and hard-working staff have found in our worldwide computer search for cyber-smut. Although we do not maintain these items, we offer this list of links for your prurient enjoyment:

• One of the biggest purveyors of cyber-smut is--you guessed it: The Vatican. The Martyrdom of Saint Erasmus by Nicolas Poussin (a 73K jpeg) has it all--it depicts *****, lewdly ******** *** ********, ***** ****, and ********, and--hey! are those ***** **** I see ******* ****** *** *** of this so-called 'art'work? Well, I won't even get into that . . . [CENSORED: Explicit reference to several sexual and excretory organs and activities.]
• The lyrics to Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. If anything is indecent, these lyrics are . . .
• The Canterbury Tales by that infamous merchant of smut, Geoffrey Chaucer, are a fine example of indecency. Be sure to especially check out "The Millers Tale" and "The Wife of Bath's Tale". (Some picky readers may find the Modern English version of [the whole thing | Miller | Wife] to better satisfy their appetite for indecency.)
• The TAO TE CHING as translated by "Jesse Garon"
• More indecent Bible passages than you can shake a stick at . . .
• Harry Erwin maintains a list of examples of mainstream academic discourse that will be classified as indecent under the new law.
• The U.S. Supreme Court publishes a lot of smut and seems to spend a lot of its collective time thinking and writing about indecency and obscenity. All recent Supreme Court decisions are online. From this motherlode of monstrosities I have chosen one small example.
• The whole government is, in fact, nothing but a gigantic treasure-trove of indecency. Check out:
  • The story of the rescue of Captain O'Grady from Bosnia. I understand that this post created a furor when it was released on the internet even before the government's official version was released. But that furor will be nothing compared to the one our beloved Senator Exon will raise when he finds out that Navy fliers have been posting NAUGHTY WORDS on the net. Tut-tut. They'll probably take their medals away. [NEW]
  • The Diabetes Dictionary. Search for "Impotence". [NEW]
  • FDA Updates. Search for "Impotence". [NEW]
  • National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease is loaded with illicit terms, states, objects, and fluids. [NEW]
  • The USDA. Search for "abortion"; note how cleverly they have given this illegal information. Undoubtedly they are trying to skirt the law. [NEW]

Afterglow; or, What You Will Want to Do After Enjoying the Indecency

The onus is on us to determine whether free societies in the twenty-first century will conduct electronic communication under the conditions of freedom established for the domain of print through centuries of struggle, or whether that great achievement will become lost in a confusion of new technologies. --Ithiel de Sola Pool

The Chill Factor

But the simple fact is, I cannot take that chance. I cannot accept the personal, financial, and career risks a court battle would involve. So, if the Telecommunications Bill passes with its indecency ban intact, I will be removing all indecent passages from this page. And, since I am not certain what a court will or will not find to be indecent, I will be removing everything that has even remote chance of being found indecent. I, as well as everyone else on the Internet who fears the legal system, will be exercising self-censorship with a very broad brush indeed.

This is what constitutional lawyers refer to as a "chilling effect". In the face of legal uncertainty, expression is self-censored, perhaps beyond even what the law demands, simply because ordinary citizens are left to interpret the law for themselves and choose the course legally and financially most prudent.

Thus, I have calculated a Chill Factor for each link I maintain on the Indecency Page. The Chill Factor is simply the percentage of text I have removed to comply with indecency provisions in the current law. I also calculate an Aggregate Chill Factor, which is simply the Chill Factor of all links taken together Low Chill Factors are good (0%=no censorship); high Chill Factors are bad (100%=total censorship).

You will be able to see which passages I have removed, because I will simply block the passage out with asterisks. In brackets will be a brief explanation of why the passage was removed, like so:

**** *** ***** *** ** **** *** ******* *** ***** **** ***** ** *** ***** *** *** ****** **** ** ** ***** *** *** ** ** *** ********. [CENSORED: Explicit and apparently approving reference to excretory function.]

There is a question as to whether these brief explanations may themselves be indecent (in fact, the Communications Decency Act may be indecent, since it dwells at some length on those things which it intends to ban), but I'll leave that for the lawyers to figure out. Note that you cannot simply block out a single indecent word or even a phrase; the result may still be found to be indecent. Thus I will leaving enough in so that you can definitely tell that something is missing, but I will certainly be removing enough that you could never guess what it is that has been removed.

BTW, the above should not be taken to mean that I am against non-violent civil disobedience in this matter. In fact, if it weren't illegal, I might actually encourage civil disobedience. But--if I were to engage in such, er, shady activities, I'm certainly not stupid enough to do it right here on my web page where I can be tracked down so easily <heh, heh>.

A Chilling History

• As of 15 January 1996, the Aggregate Chill Factor was: 0%

• As of 1 February 1996 I have not changed the Chill Factor because the law has not yet taken effect. I am, however, predicting a Chill Factor of over 50%. We can hope that this will decrease as the bill's language is clarified and its provisions are challenged in court and thrown out. In the meanwhile, though, we cannot dismiss the real chill on free speech that is occurring.

• As of 8 February 1996, 11:00 AM EST, the Aggregate Chill Factor was: 100%.
  Until I can evaluate what exactly what the law allows and disallows, and I get time to go through and edit all the necessary local files, I have simply removed them. Yes, that $250,000 fine/2 year prison term did scare me (and besides--I have a bit of a dramatic streak). I have also removed the links to items that are not kept at this site, because a close examination of the law indicates that maintaining a link to an indecent site is itself an infraction.

• As of 9 Feb 1996, the Aggregate Chill Factor was: 95%. I have restored a few links in Exonized form. Censoring them properly actually takes a lot of time and is quite annoying. However, I believe the result will be quite entertaining in its own right. [Hold On! Did I hear the word "annoying" there? Has Senator Exon just "by means of a telecommunications device knowingly . . . initiate[d] [a] proposal . . . with intent to annoy . . . or harass another person", namely me? Somebody get on the horn and call the prosecutor! It looks like Senator Exon is in biiiiiIIIIIIIIGGG TROUBLE!].
• As of 22 February 1996, there is great news! Due to a breakthrough legal interpretation, the ADULTS ONLY Down & Dirty Chill Factor has been reduced to 0% during nighttime hours in the U.S., when all the kiddies (or at least, all the ones recognized by U.S. law) are asleep. The Daytime Adult Chill Factor remains at 95%, as does the Juvenile Deliquent Chill Factor.
• As of 8 February, 1997, the chill factors remain unchanged. Although lower courts have ruled against the CDA, the Supreme Court has not yet ruled. If the Supreme Courts upholds the CDA (certainly a possible scenario, although I personally think it's unlikely), people can still be charged, fined, and imprisoned for indecent material they have posted in the meanwhile. The prudent person, in other words, chooses the safest course, and the enemies of free speech have won--at least for the many months between CDA passage and Supreme Court ruling.
