Yes, first they had to identify the obscenity, to convict him of "distributing" it. But he was not jailed because he forced someone or put anyone in danger? The real thing? Would fake production make the distribution legal?
The lack of force or dangerous behaviour and a situation with consent between adults, makes it a question of morality. Community standards. What are you allowed to show and watch. What not.
The real thing is irrelevant if fake productions gives same conviction (for distribution). If other industries can do the same (and even more obscene) without convictions, then it's discriminating. The context and industry is discriminated.
My point is: Comply with the law, but stand up for your rights. There are lots of "next", if you don't.
