The only reason porn studios don't bother getting a NC-17 rating is because they skip theaters and mainstream retail anyway. If they really wanted to waste the money, they probably could. After all, there's a few NC-17 indy and foreign films which might run the risk of qualifying as "obscenity" if shown to a minor. E.G. "Inside Deep Throat" (documentary about the porn movie, with graphic clips from same), "The Dreamers," or "Lust, Caution." Not to mention a handful of old, officially X rated films that moved to NC-17 after the changeover. Hmm, I’m not so sure about the X/AO analogy fits.
