Yea, I know that basically ANY porn can be prosecuted for being obscene, and in the end, its 100% up to jury (community standards) as to whether or not that is actually obscene ...

I didn't elaborate enough on my question of 'how do they decide that?'. What I was getting at is, how do they decide what's obscene or not ..

Well, if it were a bunch of old people, they'd say it was obscene cause they are old and shit is way different now than 30 years ago.

If it were a bunch of 20-30 year olds, it has a high probability of not being obscene since we watch MTV constantly etc.

What it all boils down to, is obscenity is a matter of opinion that is tied directly to a persons morals & religion.

And morals & religion shouldn't have shit to do with whether or not something is legal.
