If we didn't take it down, yes.

The law says he become liable if he leaves it up for more than 24 hours.

So, the result is once a day he or I have to spend two hours deleting anything questionable.

Geez.

And for all the time and effort and money spent legislating and policing porn, how many people has your client ever hurt?

What I find weird is that the age of consent in much of america is 16, so it's perfectly fine for these dudes to have 17 year old boyfriends and fuck their brains out, but not fine for them to post pictures of their 17 year old boyfriends.

And speaking of Max Hardcore again, apparently he was charged with producing Child Pornography, even though none of the models involved were children. Because it 'looked' like child pornography.

Which opens the door to anybody dressing up as a schoolgirl being targetted with child pornography prosecutions.

Which just makes me think about that scene in V For Vendetta, where Natalie Portman is dressed as a schoolgirl.

And I guess Leon could never have been made in todays climate.

Or Lolita.

(For American readers Leon was called The Professional in the United States.)

Didn't Apple already ban Lolita from apple devices?

Not sure.

Google won't let you use the word "Lolita" in Google AdWords, even though its the name of a type of fashion.

I believe 'lolita' also wound up on their list of banned search terms.

Also, what is allowed is insane.

While it's jail if a picture of a dude who is 17 is put up, his lawyers tell him the threads where guys post that that they are "Poz and looking to breed neg bottoms" is fine as are the threads about "stealthing."

Now, I don't think anything should be banned, but if you are going to ban something, serocoversion threads and stealth threads would come to mind before pictures of dudes who are old enough to legally fuck.

You mean threads of people who are HIV+ looking to deliberately infect others?

See, I would have assumed that was already illegal, didn't some guy get sent to jail recently for knowingly having unprotected sex with a girl, and giving her HIV?

Yes, but as long as you have a disclaimer saying that all forum posts are considered "fantasy" then it's fine - even if it's clear that the dudes are using it to hook up.

It's their legal problem if they get caught not the sites - as long as it involves words and not images.

Crikey, that's quite something.

And yeah, I totally see your point. How can that be permissable, but pictures of legal-age people... not.

Just. Madness. And exactly why the state has no business legislating sexual morality.
