DefendOurPorn.org contains news links about the case from numerous media outlets, a “Contact Your Congressperson” button, a PayPal page to make a donation to Stagliano’s legal fund and a guestbook.

Evil Angel established the Defend Our Porn fund in response to fans wanting to help Stagliano’s defense effort. Donations initially will be applied towards Stagliano’s case, and the fund will live on after the trial. Any funds left over will be rolled over to other free speech causes.

According to Evil Angel publicist Karen Stagliano, future plans for the fund include the naming of a board of directors. Doing so will allow the fund to operate as a nonprofit to assist future defendants in obscenity prosecutions.

Stagliano will be arraigned April 21 in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. after which he will hold a press conference where he and his attorney, Allan Gelbard, will make statements and answer questions from the press.
