Quote:
In the wake of WND news coverage, the FBI is now reviewing a Wikipedia photo of a nude adolescent that could violate federal child-pornography laws.

The image in question, titled "Virgin Killer" from RCA's 1976 Scorpions rock album, depicts a naked pre-pubescent girl (appearing about 10 years of age) in a provocative pose. Her chest is completely exposed and a small crack is placed over her vagina.

The album's cover was banned in the United States due to its extremely controversial nature and was later replaced with a photo of the band. When WND brought the image to the attention of several Wikipedia representatives, they denied any knowledge of it.


Full article's linked above.

The 2007 deletion discussion page for the image in question features the phrase:

[... shouldn't remove the image ...] "just because some corners of the blogosphere are getting bent out of shape."

Wonderful!

Not got much time on the web right now. And I haven't clicked the link but imagine the Daily mail plus Bible belt histaria plus even more hatred of pagans and homosexuals thats written by open liers and cheats that hate wikiepedia for it's liberal left wing bias and belief in evolution then times that by a million.

And you've got World net daily.

I've just thought.

Would it be hard to make a child safe version of wikipedia. Just let people flag stuff as inappropriate for under X year olds, and then have an option for adult/child versions.

Like Google image search's "safesearch"

I like how they have to mention that image of 'mammary intercourse'.

But the laws are different for each country, and the internet is still (mostly) international.

Doesn't the FBI have more important things to do, for fuck's sake?

Ok, simple solution.

It's a 32 year old album, the kid is question is now in her early 40s.

Find her, ask her if she minds it being there.

That's not the issue. It's illegal to distribute pictures of yourself naked as a kid, for example. It's still child pornography.

Normally yes, but there's actually very little opinion the image is illegal in this case, just a lot of idiots screaming "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!". Surely that would shut them up.

Surely just being naked isn't pornographic? I could have sworn that for something to be 'pornographic' there had to be sexually explicit activity...

It's the same as stuff being 'art'.

It's all subjective.

I guess someone can class something as pornographic if they're aroused by it, the vile perverts.

Yeah, I mean, surely if seeing naked children is really that wrong, every single parent should be locked up for being a VILE PERVERT. Especially the mother, who FORCED A BABY INTO HER VAGINA in a debauched act that some call 'birth'

Um, you've really got to stop rewinding birth videos.

I think you've touched on one of the main problems, there. By being freaked out at the thought of naked bambinos, aren't we letting the nonces win?

Well, not 'win', but y'know, it's definitely not healthy for us to let them shape our thought processes, in any sense.

Perhaps I didn't phrase that properly... or perhaps <pedant> the baby did get forced into her vagina, from her womb! I WIN!</pedant>

Yup. It has to be "indecent" as well as just of nekkid kids. Sadly, there's no fixed judicial interpretation of "indecent", so there's some leeway either way. However, traditionally, the purposes for which the picture was taken tend to be a driving force in the judge's opinion.

You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.

I hope they arrest and burn anyone who's made over 50 edits to wikipedia (unless they are a serial graffittist) as a repercussion to this dreadful act.
