Quote:
"If it has artistic value, then it's not obscene," said St. Petersburg attorney Brandon Kolb, who's running the show at Porn Camp. "You're not hiring people to perform a sexual activity. You're hiring people to perform their interpretation of a theatrical role."
Don't laugh. In 1989, the California supreme court ruled that participants in an adult film were doing it solely for the money, not their own sexual gratification, and therefore couldn't face prostitution or pandering charges.
The case, California vs. Freeman, helped solidify the state's status as a porn mecca. In the years since, officials elsewhere have been loath to pursue similar charges against porn producers, lest their states become similar hotbeds of X-rated action.

It really surprises me when an attorney promotes something he knows is at least questionable legally.
You CANNOT contract for sexual activity in Florida. First Amendment may be a great defense for Ray Guhn, but it cannot be used in contractual relations between private parties.
The Florida courts will not enforce illegal contracts and will find them void.
Freeman only protects content production in California, criminally and contractually.
