Basically there have been certain standards for years - scat, pissing, torture, child porn, rape etc are clear-cut candidates for "obscenity". Anyone in the adult biz knows this from previous trials.

Sure, the flip side of the arguement can be vague - who defines what is obscene? Serveral law agencies give guidelines, some don't, and it's a matter for a jury to decide.

Only my - it's a matter of judgement and same as any print media editor would do in balancing his editorial content. Publishing a web site in the adult entertainment business has similarities - you either stand by what you publish and are willing to stand up court and defend this, or you are in the wrong business.
