Most good free speech lawyers will tell you that obscenity laws are unconstitutional.

Certain people throughout history have been willing to fight censorship so that you have the right to publish adult material today. If everyone just did everything the government said when some laws are clearly violating the Constitution, you would not have the free speech rights you have today.

Someone has to fight the government to protect all of our rights. No one here wants to be that person, but some here eventually will be.
