I will however, be somewhat surprised if he loses on appeal. Not because I think his stuff isn't offensive. It is. But because I know it is acted out fantasy, done with consenting adults all of whom get paid and off camera are treated just fine, and the material in question is purchased by other consenting adults for voluntary viewing purposes.
I see nothing obscene in that. Offensive does not and should not automatically = obscene.

I've got an issue with "offensive". Nothing good ever comes from respecting the feelings of offended people. Very little nonpersonal stuff offends me. Of course I take politics personally because those people purport to represent me, hence it becomes personal and I take offense. However, porn is a transaction between the people who make it and the people who want to watch it. Anyone else is just butting in on someone else's business. That's like breaking into the houses of ugly people and then complaining because they were having ugly people sex, and we saw it.
