Supreme Court Won't Hear VoyeurDorm Case

from the good-for-them dept

The Supreme Court has said they won't hear the case to see if Tampa's zoning laws can keep VoyeurDorm from operating in a residential area. VoyeurDorm, of course, is the website with streaming video of a house full of "college-age" women. The city of Tampa claims that they're operating a pornographic business in a residential area. The company behind VoyeurDorm says that since it's a web-based business, and no customers actually go to the house it doesn't matter where the hell they are. It seems the Supreme Court agrees with them. It is funny how the Tampa lawyer tries to build up paranoia about this, saying that this "may result in the proliferation of adult entertainment establishments... in residential neighborhoods throughout the country." Run for the hills! Pornographers may be moving in next door!

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Funny, I'd kill to have a house full of hot naked women living next door! Maybe they are just afraid of rent inflation...

    Porn next door

    NO BIGGIE!

    The guy down the street is already and AVS king.
    The girl 2 blocks over is an escort.
    Granma across the way is a dom.

    Get used to it, sex sells everywhere.
