Community standards in the internet era has always been a thorny issue.
I think the high court will eventually address the issue (they'll have to at some point) but this isn't the case they wanted to use to address it.

I have yet to hear of an obscenity conviction based solely on internet content using local community standards. (Plea bargains don't count because you don't appeal after you cop a plea)
When that happens I think the appeal of the convicted will be heard by the high court, until then it's all academic anyways.
