The definition of obscentity is indeed in the eyes of the reader. Under US law it is the eyes of a jury.

If there was child pornography on the computers there will be no sympathy from me; it is illegal and immoral. If they were just running a Literotica type of site then there is a problem for everyone who does value free speech. My judgement is witheld until all the facts are in.

Each of us will draw a different line in the sand as to what we believe is obscene, the law in the US is at that same level, pornography is legal unless it is obscene. All of us in this industry would sleep better at night knowing whether we are safe or over the line; if only we knew what that line was.
