Description
June 18 Hamilton, Ont. The Ontario Supreme Court struck down the provisions undertaken in a 1979 Hamilton city by-law to regulate the sale of adult magazines as "vague and discriminatory." The by-law had forced all grocery, variety, and drugstores selling adult magazines such as Playboy and Playgirl to obtain a licence as an "adult entertainment parlour." Only the titles of the magazines were to be displayed, and they were to be stored at least five feet, six inches off the floor.
