Possession of Violent Pornography Outlawed in UK

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday August 30, 2006 @08:11AM from the grief-not-conducive-to-clear-thinking dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The BBC is reporting that possession of violent pornography is now punishable by three years in prison. This decision was handed down in response to a campaign waged by a grieving mother who lost her daughter to someone obsessed with violent pornography." From the article: "Shaun Gabb, director of the anti-censorship organization the Libertarian Alliance, said: 'If you are criminalizing possession then you are giving police inquisitorial powers to come into your house and see what you've got, now we didn't have this in the past.'"

Re:Does pornography increase incidents of rape? by Anonymous Coward · 2006-08-30 09:21 · Score: -1, Offtopic

LINK. Now re-examine your initial argument. Pornography is about sex. Rape is a small subset of sex. Violent porn is a small subset of porn. Or do I have to spell it out for you?
