Live art and the audience: toward a speaker-focused freedom of expression

Article Abstract:

The government should not use audience-oriented standards to determine whether live art should be subject to First Amendment protection from laws regulating obscene or indecent speech. Artistic speakers should be allowed to consider art on their own terms and their sincerity in declaring an expression to be artistic should be always be given First Amendment protection. Courts should restrict artistic expression only if it poses a danger unrelated to the message of the artistic speech.
