The court鈥檚 definition of obscenity is generally thought to impose an extremely high burden for labelling a work 鈥渙bscene.鈥 A great deal of pornography鈥攅xplicit video of adults engaging in sex acts鈥攑robably isn鈥檛 obscene, for example. Only the most hardcore fetish content probably qualifies. That鈥檚 for good reason鈥攖he court has been and remains wary of works of art being prosecuted as obscene, to the detriment of the culture. And a strong First Amendment is rightly considered a bedrock of American liberal democracy.
