What is obscene RIGHT NOW?? There is not one person that can tell me what is obscene. Scat, vomit, and other things considered "extreme" are on a variable list of things we are "pretty sure" would be FOUND to be extreme but there is no definition of extreme. We are operating under a standard to define "obscenity" that not even the Justices of the US Supreme Court could define! Justice Powell said that he would "know obscenity when he saw it" Thank you very much Mr. Supreme Court Justice. May I bring all of my client's content by your office so you can tell us if it is obscene or not? 'Cause otherwise we are just kind of guessing here.
So the state of Obscenity Law in the US today is not a nice clean list of what is bad and what is now. Obscenity is whatever a jury of 12 people chosen from any jurisdiction the DOJ chooses decides is obscene. And those jurors don't have any real guidelines to decide, which makes the law so unfair.
Plus we are in a situation where it is legal to possess a scat video in the privacy of the home but we are unsure how to get that legal material there. As I said before, we can legally possess materials that are considered obscene [not to be confused with child pornography] but the law is unsettled for producers that want to meet that market.
