The future of obscenity law

[Scott Gerber]

The federal district court opinion that prompted my question, United 
States v. Extreme Associates, assumed the material was obscene.  The 
trial judge takes on Miller v. California.

Howard Schweber wrote [snip]:
I believe it is the case, though, that all the attempts at government 
regulation of the Internet thus far have foundered because they 
attempted to go beyond the regulation of 
obscene material to reach merely "indecent" material.  As Eugene 
observes, those arguments are very far from over, but as a matter of 
straight doctrine I don't think anything that has transpired thus far 
requires rethinking the Miller categories.
