The matter is quite simple, Wong's petition for declaratory relief explains to the federal court in San Francisco. Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the US Constitution defines the purpose of copyright: "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries."Notice the words  "science" and "useful arts" in the aforementioned sentence? Since when did movies with acronyms like "P.O.V." or "M.I.L.F." qualify as either? Therefore, "copyright is authorized only for works which promote the progress of science and the useful arts," says Wong's lawyer from the firm of Murphy, Pearson, Bradley & Feeney.
"Early Circuit law in California held that obscene works did not promote the progress of science and the useful arts, and thus cannot be protected by copyright," the brief also notes, then reiterates the point another seven times:
 
  • 86. Hard Drive's work does not promote the progress of science.
  • 87. Hard Drive's work does not promote the useful arts.
  • 88. Hard Drive has judicially admitted that its work is adult pornography.
  • 89. Hard Drive's work depicts obscene material.
  • 90. Plaintiff is informed and believes, and thereon alleges that to create the work, Hard Drive and its agents and/or its employees violated laws which prohibited pimping, pandering, solicitation and prostitution, including any claims of conspiracy.
  • 91. Hard Drive's work depicts criminal acts and/or conduct.
  • 92. Hard Drive's work is not copyrightable.
