| Re: Bill for "possession of violent and extreme pornography" to become law next week. Sex shops have never been able to sell this kind of material. Licensed sex shops still have a fairly narrow range of what they can sell. If you remember, hardcore pornography was pretty much illegal until very recently. The internet changed the basis for that, however. Which is why there's this move away from solely placing the burden on the publisher of material. I'm not sure I particularly agree with it, but it's certainly not restricting the sale of anything you could buy in a shop.
I don't believe that there's any real need for a law banning possession of pornography featuring bestiality, necrophilia, torture or murder, but neither is it going to result in mass jailing for possession of "Bloodied Sphincters Vol. 8". It's a shitty law, but that's about it. |
