There is a bill being debated in the HOC this month on child pornography. This link will take you through the press coverage of Eli Langer, who was charged in 1993. The discussion is valuable, and perhaps the point of his show? I have to say it makes me incredibly uncomfortable, mostly because it is the same law that will govern both artists and sex offenders. But one quote rings for me:

'Meanwhile, censorship continues. But, as Marcia Pally writes her book, Sex And Sensibility (Ecco Press, 1994): "age-blaming, sexual and non-sexual, will not prevent rape or drug wars, nor will it fell sexism. It has no business being the basis for legislative or judicial remedies .... "Image-blaming, which casts women as victims of words and pictures, is another manipulation of the powerless. Like female frailty, it identifies many things from which women must be guarded and lays claim to make protection."'
