People who like violent sexual experiences have existed LONG before the internet and mass publication. As the saying goes, "Where there's a will, there's a way." As someone mentioned above, it's not my cup of tea either, but it DOES exist all around the world.
Here in the US, when the massacre at Columbine happened, lawmakers came out with something like 12 new laws/restrictions concerning firearms - THOSE KIDS WEREN'T OBEYING THE LAWS ALREADY INACTED IN THE FIRST PLACE! Making more laws for something like that does nothing more than to produce a public show to ACT as though they are doing something. It is their knee-jerk reaction to some problem that has had public attention, and would guilt them into creating legislation as a visible attemtp to solve the problem.
There's an inherent problem with the attemtped creation of the initially mentioned law above. It is vague enough to start witch-hunts. While no one in their right mind would publicly denounce the idea presented (least of all a politician), isn't the real issue of the death of the 31 yr old teacher actually "murder"? Whether it was done with panties or a metal pipe - she was murdered.
Personal accountability of one's actions - which all countries have laws for. As Dennis Miller pointed out (he was regarding lyrics in rock music supposedly making kids violent), anything would have set this guy off - a low flying airplane, whatever. You can't save everyone folks - just try not to live next door to them when they go off.
