This was about records keeping violations in general, not CP. It just so happened that a few underage party girls slipped in and flashed their tits. He'll never be put on trial for CP because no jury is going to agree that tit flashing in public is the same thing as XXX porn.

Only far right conservatives think otherwise. Just look at the Janet Jackson fiasco from a few years ago. In any other major country that story would have been limited to entertainment shows and magazines for a week and then died.

In the US there are a few extremely vocal people who will even harass a mother for breast feeding her newborn baby in public. If these types didn't exist, you'd see breasts on network TV just like they do in other parts of the world.

Yeah, laws are laws... that's why I added the IMO.

Which GGW title are you refering too? Back in 2002 when the incident they were in court over took place they had nothing other than flashing and softcore girl/girl scenes. I know they have a couple new ones out, maybe they're more hardcore.

On another note,

They only have to block kids faces if it's over something being investigated (because of the young offenders act) or if the sitatuation being reported would put the minor in harms way. If you're filming a swimming competition, news interview, disneyland commercial, mardi gras, whatever... you don't have to censor anything or get ID's from anyone. If you did mothers would be arrested every time they filmed their kids at the park or at the beach and school photographers would be hauled downtown every time a class photo is taken. Wouldn't make any sense.

And 2257 record keeping would not apply to the vast majority of the old GGW 'flashing' type content because it is not sexually explicit as defined in USC110S2256. But you make it sound like they purposely went around looking for minors when that's far from the truth.


ps. ya, im pretty sure they recalled the traci lords video(s) in question... GGW also removed a large number of their dvd titles because of this incident as well.

You should be grateful you arent having to foot the bill for paying for his incarceration as your jails are already full-up to breaking point.

But hey I live in a country where what he did wouldnt have been illegal as topless shots at 16 are allowable so what do I know?

So what do you think would have been a reasonable amount of time to serve? 6 months? 20 years?
