That is a known violent fetish. Three years for buying an Avengers DVD?
Izzat you Catherine McKinnon? "In the denotative sense, all sex is violent,..." What udder Barbara Streisand!
While it may be a crime to publish such violent pornography on the internet, I can't remember publisher being arrested and so charged. I do hear a lot about ordinary misfits being arrested and charged for viewing and/or downloading such crap. It seems to me that those who mastermind such enterprises should be the ones being arrested and charged. There is a lot about this that reminds me of the usual police stings in high prostitute areas. Rather than find and arrest the pimps and the prostitutes, arrest the 'johns' and tell the public that you're doing a great job of law enforement.
technically, once you pull the image from the remote web server, it gets cached to your local disk. at that point, you are in possession of the material.
If that was the test, you could get a lot of people in trouble by causing their browsers to cache images that aren't displayed to the user. They'd never know it was there until the cops kicked in their doors and searched their computers.
So you go to jail for posessing images on a computer?
Wow, what's next?
Even if you don't want it for the list, I know you'd be interested. Maybe tonight I'll have the time to read it all.
BTW, other people: no one is blaming porn all by itself. But it's a natural law that people are influenced to varying degrees by what they put into their sensory organs. If this were not true, neither education, religious instruction, book reading, propaganda, nor advertising would have any effect.
Obviously not every individual reacts exactly in the same manner or to the same degree. But the truth is undeniable - that to some degree at least, you are what you watch/listen to/see.
Which makes it a wonderful law to have in place for a Socialist government interested in taking pre-emptive action against political threats.
Also, things that are blunt are banned, and things that are heavy are banned, and things that are blunt AND heavy are RIGHT OUT AS WELL!!!
Well, lets see... that about cover it then???
even better, if you are using an unpatched version of internet explorer, you could view an image on a normal site and have a virus installed on your machine. that machine could turn your machine into a 'bot-zombie'. basically running their program whenever the machine is turned on and logging into an irc channel. from that channel, it can recieved commands that it will execute... like 'cache and server these files'... which could be anything.
Why not 1948? Porn was banned in the U.K. back then.
Thanks for the info. I didn't know that.
But it is clear that in 48 all porn is banned and now in 06, the UK banned violent porn. Which means along the line there was a reversal.
Because porn is almost mainstreamed into the culture, banning it now will have the same effect as the Prohibition. A ban wouldn't have matter in the 40s and 50s because there is societal pressure and shame to avoid it.
Add this to the fact that the Labor party is a leftist nanny state party that promotes the "free love" lie, this ban looks like an attempt to control the life of its people.
I hate pornography but Blue LAws today will lead to the opposite of its intended effect simply because society is far more tolerant and accepting of porn and other perversions.

Comparing the Bible to violent porn is a symptom that you don't have a clue.
But as for the effect on violent porn on the addicts: would your opinion be influenced by evidence?
'Thought crime' is the hallmark of the police state. Welcome to Orwell's land.
With its tales of incest, sodomy, rape and murder, the Bible wins hands-down over most, if not all, porn. Make the Bible into an explicit movie while being true to the text and it would be banned under this law.
