A defense lawyer in Florida attempted to use Google as a defense for his client in an obscenity trial this past summer. Since the case was settled with a bargain agreement it's difficult to say how this would have played out in court. No doubt it won't be the last time this defense is used.

Interesting article. Beyond the attempt to use Google trends as a defense, how about the "community standards?" If we enable persons to argue on this point, we will continue to go downhill. The law is supposed to uphold standards of practice, not defer to the downturn of society.
