Well, you are wrong, at least here in Canada ....
When I got busted on showing an edited ( no cumshots, no shots of genital ) VHS in a topless bar ( Les Amazones ) , I got charged by the Queen for 159a or something similar ( distributing/circulating obscene material ) .
They also charged the doorman of the bar ( because they claim he was the one allowing the showing ) , my driver ( because he transported from point A to B ) and my secretary because she had actually prepared the shipping/invoice documents.
The cops told me that if I pleaded guilty, they would dismiss the charges against the staff ... I told them to
After losing in first instance, I brought it to appeal and got acquitted ... in 1982, 25-30,000 layer fees later...
So I would say that yes.
