only "degrading" porn is illegal... artistic or scientific porn (whatever that is) is ok..
this new ruling deemed 3 lesbian porns film to be OK. so obviously it sets a presedence.CSPAComment

Re: Re: Re: Porn movies now legal in Norway!

dude. that would probably come under the "humanly degrading" category

Isn't all porn humanly degrading?
How about role-playing? Or, for example, pretending to be in a coercive situation? There are too many gray areas here. A former Attorney General once said he didn't know how to define porn but he would know it if he saw it.

It was illegal? Wow, that's weird. I guess it was one of those old laws that never were followed anyway? I can't see it going any other way..In da butt.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Porn movies now legal in Norway!
I just looked it up. The law doesn't spesify subjugation of women. It's gender neutral as far as I can tell. So I guess the article is wrong.Originally posted by Flubber

The practice was that if you could see genitals "at work" in an image it was illegal and could not be sold. I.e. an erect penis, or anything much of the female genitalia (beyond the bush, as it were) was a no-no. Pictures of people having sex were OK as long as you couldn't see anything. I remember in my youth we could get softcore porn mags at the newsstand and these sometimes included pictures that would have been beyond the limits, but had the relevant bits blacked out.Originally posted by Pekka

It was always (at least since I was a kid in the 1970s and 1980s) legal to have hardcore stuff, you just couldn't buy it. So obviously when our teenaged selves went on trips to Sweden or Denmark it was considered "cool" to acquire some porn to bring home.
With the latter-day ease of finding pr0n online I suppose the old rules have been seen as increasingly irrelevant. Anyway "adult entertainment" shops have been selling hardcore videos for ages, they get raided occasionally and the stuff confiscated but the police usually have better things to do with their time and the profit margin is obviously high enough for them to live with that risk.
Not that I care anymore (being engaged to marry, and everything) but at least this might make life slightly easier for those who are single and frustrated now.Comment

Ah ok.. I thought that it extended to possession too..

Potter Stewart, in Jacobellis v. Ohio (1964):
I have reached the conclusion...that under the First and Fourteenth Amendments criminal laws in this area are constitutionally limited to hard-core pornography. I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it...Comment

It is prohibited for the films to appear subjugating toward women or be in any way "humanly degrading", according to the daily Dagsavisen.

Wait... porn was banned in Norway?!
However, only films with a black square above.......central parts in such videos was allowed sold, and shown on tv. For a film to be allowed to be shown without such a square, it had to show no "sexual organs in motion". Before this of course.
