Discuss the Miller test to determine if a creative work is obscene
In Miller v. California, the court developed a three-part test:
? whether the average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find the work taken as a whole appeals to a prurient interest.
? whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by applicable state law.
? whether the work taken as a whole lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.
If all three tests are met, the work may be considered obscene and may be prohibited.
