Well, the judge is right. It's not particularly easy to define - perhaps impossible. My point is those books listed as erotica aren't erotica though, they're just simply porn. I don't think anyone is going to read them for a purpose other than they'd watch a porn film. Which is a shame because it means any actual erotica is going to get lumped in along with them.
Wikipedia makes a reasonably good explanation.
Pornography's objective is the graphic depiction of sexually explicit scenes. Erotica, on the other hand, seeks to tell a story with sexual themes.
