Puerto Rico cannot use a Commonwealth obscenity law to bar cable television stations from transmitting the Playboy Channel, a federal judge said in San Juan Friday. The ruling stops the Commonwealth from using threats either of prosecution under a 1986 obscenity law or of revoking or suspending cable television franchises. The injunction will remain in effect until a final decision is reached in a suit filed by Chicago’s Playboy Enterprises Inc. and the Puerto Rico Cable Television Assn.
