Actually they'd have been fine; you'd have been in trouble for distributing it. Naughty you.
But yeah, I investigate child pornography for a living and I haven't met many people who think the law is particularly well-written. Especially the new 'Extreme' legislation.

If they'd kept it, isn't possession illegal too?

Aye, if they kept it they would be. Though I can't think of many people that would have wanted to keep pictures of me at 15, clothes or no clothes. Or now at 25, come to think of it.

What does that have to do with my post?

Perhaps that what was once legal may no longer be legal e.g. the CD cover was acceptable (if shocking) 30 years ago but would be entirely illegal now?

The page/image in question (and those referencing it) are now available on UK Online. Yesterday (or was it the day before?

) the Wikipedia link redirected to a BBC "About The Scorpions" page after a 10 second wait.

They were old enough to legally "boff", so seeing them topless is nothing.

Except that new rules coming in are looking at making under 18 pictures illegal but it's legal to "boff" them :confused:

World has gone mad.

I'm still seeing a 404 on that specific Virgin Killers article. It's ridiculous, I'd expect this in China, not the UK of all places.
