You dont really understand obscenity law. The problem is not that Rob portrayed rape or violence, its that he did it in a sexual context AND that he did it in a patently offensive way.
His only potential out is if they can find that Forced Entry has serious literary social or scientific value, which in all honesty id unlikely. He will almost certainly go down on this particular charge.
the real value in his case will be deciding where the community is for community standards application and whether delivery of obscenity over the internet is that same as delivering via US Mail.
Now you can argue that staged rape is staged rape and should be treated as such whether in a mianstream film or a porn film but technically the jury cannot make that decision, the jury's task is to interpret the case as it applie to the law that he is accussed of breaking. You can bet your ass jury nullification will not be a part of this proceeding.
The law is on the books whether we think it should be or not.
Now Rob Black brought this on himself, he asked for it, but more importantly he brought it on the rest of us, we didn't ask for it. What Black is, is a moron and a common criminal. Do I think he should be in jail....abso fucking lutely.
do I think he should be in jail for obscenity absofuckinglutey not.

I understand the law. The law is unconstitutional.
The law is unjust. Unjust laws should not be enforced.
Janet Reno did not enforce these unjust laws.
She put those resources toward fighting REAL child abuse.
Ashhahahahaha would rather go after the fantasies of consenting adults.
It would be nice if we could rely on Jury nullification,
but there are just as many facists in society as there are in office.
The 1st Amendment is designed to protect unpopular and/or
minority speech/press from the personal agendas of others.
IMO everyone, from the person who preseted the bill,
to the person who handcuffed the defendant,
should be held accountable for participating in rights violations.
If officers refused to arrest people for unjust laws,
then some old self-rightous fuck selling away rights...
imprisoning people.. all for a few more votes...
well, they'd be a whole lot less dangerous to our freedom.
