If you sit back and say "Oh shit that is disgusting! They DESERVE to go to jail for putting out that crap!" I can go down to the Bible Beater Fundamentalist Evangelical Jesus Joseph and Mary Apostolic Church and drag 10 people away from praising jesus to look at YOUR content and I guarantee I can get some of them to say "Oh my goodness that is disgusting! They DESERVE to go to jail for putting out that filth!"
And NOW the "they" in the sentence is no longer the hard core fetish producer but YOU and YOU really wish there could be a few others standing up for you.
I do not draw the line at what I find disgusting. I draw the line at protecting people from other people and I do not believe in protecting people from themselves. If 100 adults want to get together and have a fisting, scat, piss, puking, bondage bukkake vidoe taped party then more power to them. I only draw the line when there is not continual, sober, informed consent from each and every person involved.

This might come as a real shock to you... but i am going to let you in on a little secret. what he was selling was illegal. not only illegal in the US, but illegal in most of the civilized world. when you are selling something thats even illegal in Russia, you might stop and consider that it might not be a good thing to be selling from some stupid town in Florida named "Gods promised land, free of Sinners" or where ever the fuck they were. In fact, they pretty much ran down the checklist of what you should never sell under any circumstances and did it. Lets just be happy they didn't get the chance to branch out into CP which seemed to be their last unexplored market.
what you believe should be "ok" and what is obviously not "ok" as defined by very clear, black and white laws on the matter are two different things. an individual breaking the law in a clear and obvious way and seeing those laws enforced does not equate to some fantastic notion of a Nazi crackdown on freedom of speech.
