I live in a EU country, the Netherlands.

Watching porn, violent or otherwise, is not an issue here, with the exception of child porn, that is expressly forbidden.
Distribution and creation is not much of an issue either, as long as the actors/models are of legal age and normal safety precautions are used when the photos/videos are shot.

If someone wants to watch that stuff, it's his/her (usually his) own choice. If he tries to use watching this stuff as an excuse for commiting such a horrible crime, he's out of luck: if he is judged 'compos mentis' by a forensic psychiatrist the excused will be dismissed and he'll face full punishment, if he's judged to have been (partially) out of his mind, he'll be sent to a secure psychiatric ward for a period that could last the rest of his natural life.

The makers/distributors of the movies/pictures would not be considered to be a party in the crime.

There's no law like that new UK law. There's no law like that in the making.

I would have liked to say that the Dutch are too level-headed to think up such an unenforcible law, full of loopholes. Alas, our government has its blind spots too, some of their decisions are downright moronic. Elections are coming up, I don't know which way to vote yet.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
