So, is pornography illegal??? In Denmark pornography became leagal sometime in the sixties. Kiddy porn is illegal here as well. Kiddy porn is if the of involved persons is below 15.
As fa as I'm concerned people can photograph pretty mucch what ever they want. I guess labs can't legally make Kiddy Porn prints, though.

This might turn into a somewhat unfocussed ramble, sorry if it turns out that way. Photo labs have to follow a certain set of guidelines regarding certain subjects. Regarding pornography, it is pretty much anything goes, providing the subject appears to be consenting, and if there is more than one subject, they are all Homo Sapiens, *unless* the subject of said pornography is or appears to be underage, which is 19 in my jurisdiction. In my end of the business, (I expect Butch and the US industry is in the same canoo), if the subject might be under 19, and might be in a provocative pose, it's kiddie porn. I expect, but do not know for sure, that in a place where homosexuality is illegal in the eyes of the law, homosexual pornography would also be illegal. It is pornography if the subject is in a situation or position that may be titillating to the viewer. In other words, pornography is defined not by the creator of it, but by the viewer, and that viewer's sexual reaction to it. Apparently, according to Janet Reno, no nudity is required to hit the child pornography definition. But if we publish it, we are in deep doodoo. It makes us careful. William Robb
