No, this would thankfully not be possible in any western country. A photograph of a real child is not a work you created and even if someone would claim it is that is irrelevant because the law is specifically about crafted work (read the link in the post you are quoting if you want the details, although the google translate is admittedly a bit unclear). Besides, it's not like you would only be charged with possession if you went and took pictures of naked children, whether you even still possessed the images would be pretty irrelevant and you would still be charged.Wait wait wait. So you're saying that if I took CP pictures in Sweden it would be okay because I was the photographer??Not sure why you would draw the conclusion that he drew them as it is nowhere said that he did, he simply had them on his harddrive. Ironically he could not have even have been convicted in the first place had he drawn the images himself, as according to the Swedish law on child pornography the law does not apply to any work created by the possessor (second sentence under 10 b § in the link).So a person was about to go to jail for drawing loli?
The series I mentioned and every other series Lundström has translated are stories that target a children/teen audience and, unlike much of the adult oriented content created in Japan which is usually frowned upon here, are vastly popular here in the west. In other words the parents of the millions of children and teens you just called sick fucks don't see the filth you are blindly speculating that these works are made up of without spending a second taking an actual look because you already know you are right.I can only assume those who fight guys case are fans of the same or similar content. Personally, I am of mature enough mind to avoid any of that crap.....whether you feel its an amazing art form or not, the issue remains of the indecent portrayal of children.....real or not, you have to be a sick fuck to work with or enjoy looking at such material.....PERIOD!
So the guy was a translator for sick fucks? Oh, that makes it allright then!! Someone made the point earlier that there is a difference between the real thing and the fake thing, and someone should know the difference.....YES, they should and should also be of mature enough mind to say "No, I will not translate this filth for any amount of money."
I mean.....c'mon.....someone actually had to think of a child in this way in order to portray it as an indecent image. WTF???????? I don't care who you are or what you are, no one can sugar coat this as nothing short of disgusting.
I'm sure these parents are all wrong and you, someone who has not given manga even a glance, are the one who is right. The sick fuck children who have not yet learned a second language are all much better off without this sick fuck translator translating the devils work for them to read. Also, thank you for keeping the morals of our society by calling anyone interested in works that you have no knowledge whatsoever of sick fucks. On a side note, your last paragraph implies you are under the impression that Lundström drew any of the images. He did not, read the other posts in this thread.
I still respect the opinion you originally expressed, that you think it's wrong to possess children depicted sexually even if they are non-existent. On some level I could even symphatize with your initial reaction to call Lundström a sick fuck. The absurdity of your claims in this post is however beyond words. Please get acquainted with the subject before you call anyone a sick fuck. This also goes for any discussion, regardless of the topic.
