He abandoned that porn in his parents' house and they had absolutely no obligation to continue to warehouse it much less pick those heavy boxes up and move them to their worthless son's new place.
If he had wanted to keep that porn he should have brought it with him.
How did they even know that the porn was legal? If there were images of minors in that stack they could have gotten into serious trouble just having that on their property much less moving it across different states to deliver it to their son.
I hope they disown their son after this.
How did he abandon it? He got back on his feet and moved, and apparently his parents agreed to deliver his stuff to him.
There weren't images of children or he would have been arrested, not granted payback for the collection. Child porn would not in any way be considered a collectible. As a collector I'm sure he had itemized lists of everything he had. Most was probably vintage stuff, which would be what makes it collectible. The Playboy with Marilyn Monroe would be an example of collectible porn, as wold the first issue, etc.
I guess I missed an opportunity to sue my parents. I entrusted them with my vinyl album collection, about 300 albums. My mother saw one album by the band Free which displayed a light blue picture of a girl running from underneath her. You couldn't see any genitalia, but my mother thought it was over the top and burned all the albums in a burn barrel. I never thought to sue, couldn't have afforded it anyway, but never left anything with them again. I only remember a few of the albums as this happened almost 50 years ago.
Imagine if you were an adult when that happened, and your collection was valued at $30,000 at the time she destroyed it.
Lots of speculation, contempt, and opinion infused in your post. It matters not one bit in the eyes of the law.
The judge saw otherwise. Only the judge's opinion counts in the court of law.
The fact that you wish for discord for their family, hoping that the parents end their relationship with their own child, what does that say about the feelings you harbor in your heart? Is the kingdom of god there?
There is discord in the family already. Their son is not a nice person. it sounds as though they were just trying to get him out of their house. I can not blame them one bit for not wanting to transport boxes of porn and sex toys across state lines. And I can not blame them for not wanting to have that in their house.

You're making a whole lot of assumptions that have nothing concrete behind them.

There are no assumptions. The parents were not comfortable having that porn in their house or transporting it to their son. I doubt that they looked through it all to confirm that it was all legal. It was nothing but big boxes of heavy trash to them.
Who would ask their 60+ year old parents to move porn and sex toys for them anyway? Next thing you know people will be suing their parents for not watering their pot plants.
Think of all the toys our parents threw away and how much they would be worth now if they had held onto them.....
Yes, I and my brother talk about that all the time! Very different from throwing them away knowing they're worth money though. If mom knew, she never would have done it! She would have also bought a shore house back then and we''d be wealthy now, lol. We wrecked a lot of our own stuff that could have made us rich. We had a neighborhood friend whose dad worked for Topps, and she used to give us uncut sheets of cards, rookie cards for players that is we had just one sheet might be worth tends of thousands...and we cut them up and put them in the spokes of our bikes.

Still very different than this case.
I suppose one of the reasons some of those Topps cards are worth so much now is because kids wrecked them and parents threw them away. If we had all hung onto our cards and kept them safely stored in an album, they would be too common to be valuable.
The guy's parents may not have had any idea that this man's boxes of porn and sex toys would be worth anything. They probably opened a box, saw what was inside, were mortified and got rid of it just like most parents did back in the day when they found Playboy magazines in their teens' dresser drawers.

He brought the collection with the rest of his stuff when he moved in to get back on his feet after his divorce, after I assume wife got the house. It's not like they were boxes that were there for years. He wasn't there all that long before he bought another house, and never intended to be, so he kept his stuff together, it wasn't removed from boxes and placed in drawers or anything. They were supposed to deliver his boxes, there was no reason to go through any of them.
