Quote - Regardless of the rest: there shouldn't be one legal rule for Joe the Janitor, and then a different legal rule for Andy the Artiste.  The same rule should apply equally to both of them.  A picture that would get Joe the Janitor into trouble should also get Andy the Artiste into an equal amount of trouble......with NO special exemptions from the same law which applies to everyone else for the sake of 'Andy the Artiste' being a member of a privileged overlord class of.....uh......"intellectuals".  A self-appointed overlord class who regard themselves as being so-o-o-o-o-o-o much smarter than the rest of us culturally illiterate dummies........us rubes who don't have the capacity to truly appreciate the deeper meaning of their bottom-feeding "Art": and who can't possibly grasp the subtler aspects of the situation -- as they, the golden-brained "Artistes", do.

We have very strict rules against child pornography here in Germany. You may not create it, you may not sell or buy it, you may not own it. No photos, no cgi. But naked children aren't concidered to be pornography here. You would need some sexual context to make it illegal.

By the way, that's the same for Joe and for Andy here. I haven't seen the pictures in this case, but i seriously doubt that it would not be allowed here. In my opinion, there is no reason to change that.
