Hill-Link[edit]

a mention of the Hill-Link Minority Report needs to be made, but i can't find any information on it that isn't from a far-right leaning group. Anyone willing to help? 67.177.22.7 17:41, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Case?[edit]

What was the Supreme Court case? I'd guessed Stanley v. Georgia, but that was '69 (and decided after LBJ had left office). Lapicero 23:23, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When[edit]

... was the report published? Maikel (talk) 12:10, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Maikel (talk) 12:12, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reports not available openly?[edit]

The three links to primary sources on this page are to something called "Hathi Trust Digital Library". This 'library' acknowledges that Google digitised the documents, and then requires the reader to be a member of one of a couple of dozen educational institutions in order to be able to download the reports or access more than one page at a time! Is there no publicly accessible record? Ambiguosity (talk) 10:10, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Does not exist[edit]

This article fails to provide any evidence that this report actually exists. I can not find a copy of this report anywhere. I can only conclude that somebody created this article as a hoax, therefore I recommend that it be deleted unless somebody can verify the report's existence.

  • Kotterdale44, the primary sources list actual documents from the Commission. Whether you can find sources online or not isn't what matter, it is whether the article links TO sources, which a very quick look told me yes, there are at least primary sources [1], at the bottom of the article. That doesn't mean the article is correct in all things, but the Commission seems to have existed. Dennis Brown - 20:19, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Try checking the article's citations and doing a quick Google Books search before assuming something didn't exist. For example, The Problem of Pornography Regulation and the Right to Free Speech by Susan Easton, published by Taylor & Francis in 2005, is merely one of a large number of academic and history books that discusses the commission.--SouthernNights (talk) 11:53, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
