Legal Times: Old and New, Christopher Handley Manga Obscenity Case

Introduction to Legal Times: Old and New

After reading the IcV2 articles and the MTV Splash Page article, I already became worried and still worrying. I fear that this case will affect both the manga and comics industry and the fans. It will probably affect even those outside of the anime and manga world. As I said in my introduction post about Legal Times: Old and New, I am no legal expert. I hope you guys will look at the articles I dug up and understand the situation.
