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?

Sure.. the defendant is entitled to know what he's doing is "illegal". In this case it smells like there is no doubt he knew he was violating US law, but see your point. Back to a definition of obscenity?
Truth is as we prob know, it's not easy to define "obscenity" and prob the only way is to classify areas which may be subject to prosecution. Several countries do this already - tho these can only be interpreted as guidelines - nothing more. Back to the personal judgement to publish - ie are you willing to stand up in court with a vigorous defense and solid foundations as to why the material is not obscene?
Totally agree on your point 1
On point 2... Have to admit, I'm swayed by personal opinions - call me a narrow-minded warped ass
I just think it's very hard to justify "publishing" content with excrement and vomit spewing up and if anything could be "obscene", this has got to be it
If someone is willing to pay money to watch this stuff - that money is better spent on a shrink.
