Please, I would like to clarify a few points here, if I may.

No, my primary problem is not with publicity seeking artists. I cited this one simply because, in my opinion , he's managed to sink to all new levels.

Yes, I remember that US case of the virtual kiddy porn. It was Tom Creedy or Reedy's lawyers who claimed it wasn't kiddy porn because, while creating some of the filthiest and most sexually explicit images of minors ever seen on the net, not children were actually used or charmed. But, seriously, if you believe people were viewing his works for their artistic value, you'll probably also be waiting for Santa to drop down your chimney on the 25th December.

Had these latest shadowy and seductive images been of an adult woman there would be no issue here. A few people would have ogled them while pretending to appreciate their artistic value and everyone would have been happy. Oh, everyone except, of course, Bill Henson who would still be a little know artist.

When is it porn? Good question. Ok, I believe it becomes pornography when it's portrayed as sexual and it offends the senses and sensibilities of the majority of a community. It become child pornography when, in addition, a child or children are sexually exploited for the pleasure of adults.

I have absolutely no problem at all with adult porn. I love adult porn! Especially adult BDSM porn! It teases and titillates me! It makes me, as lover of bdsm, want to run out and grab a piece of that hot action for myself!!! Unfortunately, I fear images like the ones I've cited here, on this thread, may have a similar effect on pedophiles.
