Obscenity laws.  At the time of publication, I am pretty sure that possesion
of James Joyce's "Ulysses" was illegal in the US.  And there are still
communities that have (mostly unenforced) local obscenity laws.  And that
ultimate destroyer of worlds, child pr0n.  Also, I don't have a security
clearance, but I am pretty sure that reading classified documents w/o
clearance can get you arrested.

Can anyone else think of any other situation where you can be arrested 
simply for reading a document???

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
