But what are the real legal aspects of running a porn site,
Moralities properly speaking?

The frst and worst legal aspect about running a triple-X
site is that a lot of the laws are local - so they’re different
from state to county to city to country.

Now the most basic legal boundary to deal with, and the
most universal across all localities small and large, is what can
be called “obscenity”.

Now the easiest way to know what’s illegal on those levels is
to go to a third-party billing company like CCBill or Epoch and
read their terms of service: they all list the things for which they
won’t bill, which settles that regardless of the law, ultimately,
because if you can’t make money at it, who cares.

So certainly most reading this will not complain about what they
refuse to process: anything that has (simulated or real) bestiality,
incest, rape, and child pornography.

Now for most of us these are no-brainers, but you’d be surprised
(and not at the level of depravity in aspiring entrepreneurs) at things
like defnitions of rape, for example. Where once the “sleeping
girlfriend” fantasy was increasingly common as a niche, has now
been defned as rape, or unwanted sexual advances. Fair enough.

While some sites do have fake, simulated fantasies or scenes depicting
these things, they mostly bill in countries other than North America. Or
in some sureptitious, sneak-around way this article is not about.

The Miller test is an interesting litmus-approach to “obscenity” on the
legal level, essentially stating that a site has to be completely lacking in
artistic, scientifc, literary, or cultural value. The problem with the Miller
test is, While the “scientifc” value of most anything has a pretty cut &
dried standard, the subjectivity of “artistic” and “cultural”

and “literary” merits makes these criteria very hard to defne.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say, and not many of these
cases end up winners for the prosecution.
