Child Pornography case that caused 3DS DoA sale ban finally over

[yuyuyup]

It's fun how people think they can solve the problems of the universe by calling for the censorship of drawings and the prosecutions of thought crimes.

I'm still waiting for the "If we do everything we can to prevent the sexual assault of children...then who will grow up to be strippers???" argument. There is no slippery slope here. Child porn is black and white, regardless of whether it's photographs or "fantasy cartoons"...

If you've watched an episode of Shin Chan (such as when it aired on cartoon network) where he does the "Mr. Elephant Dance", then you've viewed anime drawings of an underage boy's genitals.

I haven't seen that show.

what does DoA mean? Although, this is pretty weird in my opinion.

Dead or Alive, a fighting game that makes money solely because "lol hawt gurlz"

"DoA" stands for "Dead or Alive" a series of video games involving several bikini clad girls. A 3DS game was released in Japan but not here, apparently because of fears over child pornography brought on by this case. With some of the girls in DoA they look really young, that and America hates on anything to do with sex in the under 18 market (seriously here in Europe its 16 because by that age you're fully sexually mature. Admittedly its still 18 to work in porn though, I think, also you need to be 18 to buy it)

As for this court case: Its nice to see that the guy wasn't jailed for anything even though Loli Hentai etc. is more than a little bit questionable in my opinion. None of the characters are real children so child porn laws don't really apply.

I'm glad he was freed! I remember back when he was first accused, the lawyer people thought that the girls had too small breasts to be adult enough. there was no other age indication stated on those pictures, but that the breasts were too small..... yeah.

Pornography is banned in Australia if the women have small breasts
Doesn't matter if they're adults. Big titties only, or else it might *look* like CP

Sounds fine to me, small tits are funny looking anyway.

Has anyone here ever seen an anime called Beelzebub? Pretty sure it has a pretty low rating in Japan and if it ever was localized it would likely never get a higher rating than PG-13. Funny series, too bad the studio went broke.

@ anyone who chances upon the series
[sarcasm] Anyone who watches this is a sick f#ck and should burn at a stake for this is the devils work. You should be beaten to death for looking at this, as it is child pornography and you are obviously commiting a perverse act as you gaze upon it. [sarcasm/]

I don't know how provocative the said images are but can they be worse than 26 straight episodes of a kid w/ his genitals hanging out?
If this were a case of CP then it would be an open-shut-you're-guilty kind of thing but I'm not entirely convinced the guy needs to go to jail because he makes money translating smut.
