Obscene material according the Federal Courts is legal on public access.

Obscene material is unprotected speech (therefore not "legal" on
cable - see 18 USC s. 1468).

As contrasted to broadcast material (18 USC s. 1464) Section 1468
does not proscribe indecent material, which the courts have held
"semi" protected i.e. subject to FCC time-of-broadcast regulation
(see Pacifica v FCC). Todd mixed that one up again.....

Expect that sometime in the near future, Section 1468 will be
amended to proscribe indecency by cable or satellite delivery, again
subject to FCC time-of-broadcast regulation. That will create a
"level playing field".

Yes, my bad, I meant Indecent material, (see Denver Area Consortium Vs
FCC 1996)
