From seeing things happen in the porn industry over the years, I'd say when it starts to drizzle there is usually a rain storm getting near.
I would highly recommend to any webmaster who looks at what they publish on their sites and has any doubt in their mind about whether particular content is over the edge and pushing the limits or not, to do yourself a big favor and tone it down. You'll sleep a lot better at night, and if taking it off your site costs you a few signups that certainly is better than shelling out tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees should the worst case scenario ever happen to you.
Porn has always been a risky business. Even Hef was arrested once on obscenity charges and that's incredible considering the total and complete softcore porn Playboy publishes.
Its all about visibility also. The bigger you are in the market, the greater the likelihood that one day there will be a knock on your door if you are displaying extremely past the limits hardcore content.
Most guys who get indicted get off fairly light in terms of doing any serious time, and the majority just take it up the ass in legal fees, and court fines, and having their business decimated after the raid when they get all their computers seized. So usually even the worst case isn't totally the end of your career. But its simply crazy to hang your ass out on the limb everyday when you don't have to. There is plenty of money to be made on the safe side of the fence so why chance it.
Just my two cents on this situation.
