Maybe it’s because the Queensland threshold of what constitutes porn is significantly lower than other states.
Prosecutors can rely on the old Queensland wowser factor every time.
Looks like you brought an extra big bucket of stupid to this conversation, didn't you?
I do try, Big.
But look at the facts. Azov Films sold DVDs of nudist home movies. It also sold "coming of age" feature films, including the 1969 British Academy Award winner, Kes. The site operated legally out of Canada for years.
Now the Mounties found a way to get them.for something and confiscated their mailing lists. They then organized a global sting in countries where this material might be deemed illegal - or not.
The legality of Azov Films content doesn’t matter. Presumably the peds were done for other images on their computers.
I would certainly question films like Kes and Stand By Me and even many nudist photos as being classified as porn, but it wouldn’t surprise me after the Jim Henson prosecution.
The images we’re discussing here do not warrant the death sentences you’re advocating. They wouldn’t even warrant a custodial sentence, if they’re found to be pornographic at all.
Remember, the definition of pornography is its intention to arouse. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think films already classified as PG can be put in that category, do you?
