Not to defend the Virginia statute but as devils advocate, couldn't they argue that their law does not apply to parody and only protects non-public figures?
So couldn't they argue the statute would not apply to the Hustler-Falwell parody for those two reasons?
- heyitsguay 7y agoWhy wouldn't you defend this statute?
- TomMckenny 7y agoI haven't read enough about it to have an opinion yet. Does the wording in fact contradict Hustler Magazine v. Falwell? Would it outlaw satyrical images of politicians? Thus my question above.
