Does anyone have a link for a definitive explanation of "the federal obscenity laws"?
This surely is not the extent of the "laws".
"The U.S. Supreme Court decided in 1973 that materials are obscene if they (1) appeal to the prurient interest, (2) are patently offensive, and (3) lack serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value in the view of an average, reasonable person applying contemporary community standards."

The Miller Test is indeed the limit of the federal views on obscenity. That and underage are the only things they have precedent in at the moment to the best of my knowledge.
Don't confuse state and federal though.
