While the crap that Rob shoots is in extremely poor taste, if you look at what's on the internet -- not just porn but the rotten.com type sites and so on -- it's very hard to build a case using Miller as the definitive standard for one big reason -- there's no definition of whether or not the internet is a community unto itself or whether its the area that produced the content, hosts the content, downloads the content or bills for the content that's the community.

Establishing that is the first thing that will have to happen. The dismissal of Rob's case by the judge basically stated that the internet is a community, albeit an electronic one instead of a physical one.

Should be interesting to see what comes of all this, though it will probably take years to be sorted out.
