What Is the Biggest Legal Obstacle to the Porn Industry Today

at 18:10

From the episode: Ashley Mathews (aka Riley Reid) - Inside the world of professional pornography

Answer

Circa 1973 American court redefined pornography laws, putting everyone in the industry at risk. The courts stipulated that anyone in the industry could be in trouble by simply violating somebody's community standards. However, in the age of the internet, we are all part of the same community, which means it's very likely that someone in LA is violating the standards of someone in Utah.
