Re: Bill for "possession of violent and extreme pornography" to become law next week.

Would this bill allow for the prosecution of directors/producers who make films that explore the realities of violent sexual behaviour, or use violent sexual behaviour as metaphor? Titilation is not the primary interest here, if it even is one at all. However, in light of previous tabloid-fuelled hysteria (Brass Eye, 'Video Nasties' etc) I could imagine many a censorship campaign riding on it's back, all facilitated by the bill seeming to suggest that the possible effects any work can have are as important as the verifiable ones.
