I'm not sure the new law makes that the case, but if it did I would guess because it is real, whereas the films you describe are fake - ie, 'no-one was harmed during the making of this movie'

Faked is banned.

What do you mean "if"

Its already in force.

Soulkiss, I presume you're referring to faked material being banned under the new law? I was talking about how horror films where people get fed to pigeons etc, as per Daimo's example, are faked, as opposed to the real damaging of someone's anus through hardcore derriere action. I'm trying to keep this U rated but I think failing somewhat! :smt083

Phew not just me then!

Most new laws seem to be so badly drafted that they should be in essence un-enforcable. Unfortunately this just leads to the laws being applied in totally inappropriate cases, we all know glaring examples of this.

This government has passed more new laws in the last 10years than all the previous ones did in the preceding 100yrs. The judiciary have complained that they cannot keep up with it all. It is in the misguided belief that the way to stop people doing things is to make it illegal, just like it stops people stealing, robbing, murdering, speeding etc etc. All that more laws achieves is to create more offences resulting in more people committing offences and ending up with records. The government do it purely because they think it makes it looks like they are "doing something".

I have nothing but respect for the law, and precious little of that.

"You seem to be pleased about it."
"Don't I have good reason to be?"
"But, after all, I did break one of your laws."
"Well, what do you think they're for?"
Dr. Ferris did not notice the sudden look on Rearden's face, the look of a man hit by the first vision of that which he had sought to see. Dr. Ferris was past the stage of seeing; he was intent upon delivering the last blows to an animal caught in a trap.
"Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against - then you'll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We're after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you'd better get wise to it. There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt. Now, that's the system, Mr. Rearden, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."

I like the sound of that a lot! Means all those cops with video equipment better watch out before they're in trouble! :D
