(611 posts)I think the outline at the link leaves some potentially worrisome ambiguities. The law itself may be more specific, I don't know.
I am a fan of the old 1966 Batman TV series. I know a lot of fellow fans who admit to having been turned on to (at least the B&D part of) BDSM due to all the bondage and traps on that show. The material isn't itself pornographic, but it led some people in that direction. Given the sort of "corruption of the innocent" slant of the law, I worry a bit about some possible implications.
On the other hand, I've been on the internet for 15-odd years, and one can't do that without... seeing some things. Umm. There's some pretty disturbing stuff out there. Whole sectors of Japanese pop culture might be cut off for the Brits. Umm.
