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.
Thatīs a good point and I agree with it, but only if the question is: "should the guy have known what not to do right now?"

What I tried to express was the following:

1st: there are good reasons to forbid cp, because itīs not likely that children will agree in sexual acts. Similar reasons apply for rape and so on.

2nd: there are no reasons to forbid what you summed up under the term "obscenity". So I may ask if itīs just right to condemn those sexual acts or - and thatīs what I think about it - is it just a randomly choosen part to start with and other restrictions will follow. And the most important thing is who will tell what obscenity is?
