Supreme Court Decision in the Communications Decency Act (CDA)

[RawAlex]

I read it a few times and it really beats me (no pun intended) what the heck they were attempting to do here, except perhaps in some weird way to get the idea of "community standards" shot down.

There is always the fear (real,not imagined) that community standards makes legal and acceptable porn in one place become illegal and punishable in another. I stopped shipping video tapes / DVDs to the US as a result of new customs regualtions in the US that required me to declare that the materials were not obscene. However, they were not able to provide me with the location / city / state in which the materials would be examined, which meant I had to assume the most restrictive and most conservative possible setting, such as Salt Lake City or even an amish community.

However, without Miller, there would be a major lack of caselaw to protect adult materials, which could possibly be worse.

Cool, I'm not completely nuts then. It was a written with a positive tone, as if whatever the hell that happened is a good thing for us, yet it seems that their intention was to give the Miller test a slap in the ass. I guess I just don't understand why someone, who is potentially protected by Miller, would want to take on Miller.
