Larry Flynt publisher of Hustler credited his passion for the First Amendment with being sentenced to up to 25 years on obscenity charges in 1976.
“I think I had to stand in a courtroom and listen to a judge sentence me to 25 years in prison before I realized it was something that could no longer be taken for granted,” he said in a 2003 conversation. “And, you know, the fight’s been going on since then. We’ve won some, and we’ve lost some.”
Someone once said, "Pornography is the first defense of Free Speech."
I have never been able to find out whom.
