Surely, even if no conviction under CJIA, in that case, they may get you under Copyright? Make sure those snippets are under 5% of the entire works people! Love... The kind you wipe up with a mop and bucket. | |

Just to add another serious point to this; what frustrates me the most about the legislation is that we all know that mainstream movies deliberately use not-so-ambiguous sexual titillation, in particular soft-core bondage images, to sell more films; there's no difference in intent at all, it's simply a difference in intended audience and greater financial corporate muscle behind their films. I recall one recent poster campaign for a film (whose title slips my mind at the moment) which showed the three main character's heads mounted on trophy plaques... but the woman, and the woman only had two pieces of tape over her mouth. Oh yes, of course in the film there's supposed to be a reason why she, and not the two men are gagged... she's a dumb gossipy nagging blonde; And we all know what women like THAT need, don't we, you fat white suburban males? You've got blatant violence-porn like the Death Wish movies; you've got horror films with deliberately sexualised violence (hello woman-raping tree from Evil Dead I/II). You've got entire films whose only reason for existance is that one of your actresses is known for being hot (Paris Hilton, and before her, Jennifer Lopez). You've got incredibly subtle, but quite, quite deliberate sexuality where artistically it's irrelevant, such as the favoured Panty Shot Angle... The last one I can recall offhand was in "V for Vendetta", where Evey rolls off the bed away from the Preacher... shot for some curious reason, with a camera angle pointing right between her legs. I wonder how many re-shoots they did for a lack of enough wardrobe malfunction...? Now that last one might sound a little paranoid; but as you already know, if I screen grab that, rename it too "School Girl Upskirt.jpeg", it'll fall foul of the new law. But the Wachowski brothers will have put more thought and effort into giving the audience a flash of white knicker than I could ever have done to simply make the screengrab of it. But they can afford very, very good Lawyers... *sighs* | |

Exactly, so one thing may turn one person on and may make another sick!!!! Who will be categorising the images etc and how will they be selected?? | |

Yes that's exactly why the law is really stupid. What turns someone on is so personal. Many things that are "designed to arouse" don't, and then they aren't addressing all that violence (in films) that will still be legal because it's not sexual. Funnily enough while having "vanilla sex" with breathplay would be classed "sexual", breath play without it wouldn't. That's pure bdsm. Jane Longhurst should have read up.

That's brilliant! Let's all upload our wanky clips to somewhere and make a big DVD of them! Anyone fancy hosting it? I would but I am too busy as I will be moving house soon. -- | |

Would internet movie sites be banned under the law if they had stills from the films they are promoting/commenting on? Wonder if sites such as imdb would fall foul. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2601295104/tt0450278 chopping up a dead body in Hostel, http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1291163904/tt0498353 hostel 2 Can't find many explicit pix, but I bet there are some dodgy ones. suzy | |

This is a great thread... My choice would be "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom", rated PG - all that whipping and graphic simulated snuff, not to mention the attractive blonde woman who is regularly tied to things! Actually, after a quick Google image search, here's a rather lovely screenshot of her tied to something, and I post it here purely for artistic merit rather than "principally for the purpose of sexual arousal" of course! | |

Quoting myself from the Whitehouse thread... Here's a very good one we should report for actual proven harm done over a 2000 year period...
