I think a better analogy would be paintings in galleries which depict under 18s, many of which could be considered Images depicting erotic posing with no sexual activity. I am thinking of some of the paintings of Caravaggio, almost any depiction of Ganymede etc. An under 18 naked in an erotic pose, even without sexual activity, would qualify as indecent by my understanding of how that word is usually interpreted. The key thing with the Virgin Killer cover is that the pose isn't erotic. It's clearly designed to show off her nudity, but that's all. ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_UK http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l

You are, of course, right. That doesn't change, however, that this image is not illegal to view, it's merely in a greyer legal area of might be illegal. Which does nothing to change the IWF's shameful overreach in blocking the article as well as the image — and in doing such a cack-handed job of either. :o) If hasn't been proven in a court of law not to be illegal to view. However, it is not illegal to view simply because the image is not sexual as is plain to any reasonable person. So, as you say, the IWF has gone overboard in blocking it. ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_UK http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l
