My argument is that:In most states that I am aware of, there are laws within Common Law against sex crimes such as "voyeurism".
When one is viewing pornography via the internet or a magazine, one could argue that they are engaging in voyeurism by viewing a stranger in an uncompromising situation, and that this is a legal loophole in the law, so if the law punished the viewing of porn the same as it does voyeuristic behavior such as videotaping a stranger in a shower, would this not be consistent?
Of course not, this isn't China. Unless it's illegal and creep pedo stuff which is an entirely different situation obviously. Otherwise, why would anyone viewing consenting adults be considered a criminal?
Are you trolling us?
1. A stranger on the internet cannot consent to anonymous viewing, so while this is legally recognized as consentual via contracts, it is rather abusrd stretch of law.
2. There is precedence under Common Law for banning behaviors by adults even if said adults consent - in some cases the state can override consent on the basis of other concerns such as preserving public health or morality - I think that banning or regulating porn and degnerate forms of entertainment under state obscentity laws might be a worthy venture - I see "democratic" nations such as Iceland getting wind of the such evils and attempting to crack down on them, and it does not seem to have much bad side effect.
