Notes of Decisions

Prohibi­tions against obscene live performance or distribu­tion of obscene ma­te­ri­al do not violate federal or state constitu­tional right of free speech. Film Follies v. Haas, 22 Or App 365, 539 P2d 669 (1975)

In a federal obscenity pros­e­cu­­tion, it was a ques­tion for the trial court whether the people of Oregon approved of con­duct then permitted by these sec­tions, or whether community standards were at variance with these sec­tions. U.S. v. Danley, 523 F2d 369 (1975)
