How the DOJ really defines obscenity:

ignorant asses, this thread:
http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...hreadid=214907

is utter fucking nonsense. the supreme court uses this:




The current definition of obscenity requires the application of a three-part test enunciated by the Court in Miller v. California, 413 U.S. 15 (1973). Under the so-called "Miller Test," a jury from the jurisdiction where an obscenity charge is brought will decide whether the content in question is obscene by asking:


"(a) whether the average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest,
(b) whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by the applicable state law, and
(c) whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value."






essentially its left to the states, and to a smaller degree; cities and countys to define obscenity using their own community standards.


amazing to me how little some of you people actually KNOW about the legalities of what you do.
