this is a big case for the adult industry as a whole. Not because everyone puts out this type of material - most do not, but because if extreme wins it is a big blow to the government. extreme's main defense is that the comunity standard of indecency should not be applied here because the material in question is viewed in a private home thus the community is not involved. It is different if they went to a brick and mortar store and bought this because the store exists in the community. If they lose, it could allow the government to go after any website because it would set the standard that sitting in your bedroom surfing a porn site is still beholden to the community standard. If the gov. loses it will pretty hard for them to sucessfully go after websites.
Like most, I think the content they put out is sick and harmful to the adult industries image as a whole, but I hope they win.
