Sunday Symposium: Censorship

[Dr. kitteny berk]

Yep, That's the great thing. It's only illegal to make commercial porn featuring those things. Of course, if you're doing it right, it's what? 50p for a flight to amsterdam and £35 a night in a hotel there, a decent shoot to make a decent length dvd would be easily doable for under £200.

Point being, they've done nothing, at all, and continued to pretty much allow all the deeply dodgy exploitative foreign porn (I'm looking at you, Japan) to exist unchallenged without a single mention.

Point being, they've done nothing

Not quite: They've achieved nothing. What they have done is spend a lot of time and money that could have been better spent elsewhere getting a load of noise and bluster in the media. I do kind of wonder if that wasn't the point of the whole thing: give us all something meaningless to gawp at so we don't notice something else. I may just be feeling particularly conspiracy brained today though.

I think as time goes on and media becomes more decentralised, the only reasonable outcome is paranoia and the suspicion of conspiracy.
