A man who was
jailed
and almost convicted of "possession of extreme pornography" (a
video he had failed to delete fully) is campaigning to change that
law.
This "extreme pornography" law needs to be repealed, not just
reformed. Various kinds of animals, including cats, dogs, gorillas,
and dolphins, sometimes enjoy and even ask for sexual activities with
humans. To prohibit the act, or images of it, is sheer authoritarian
prudery. Necrophilia can't hurt the person who died (nothing can), so
there is no reason to prohibit the act, let alone images of it.
However, the fundamental point is that prohibiting the possession
of a copy of something — no matter what it is — is tyranny
and puts everyone in danger.
