- ghaff 5y agoThere would probably be a pretty high bar to get this declared illegal as opposed to sufficiently adjacent as to be controversial on something like an album cover. It pretty clearly does not meet the DOJ definition although other countries, perhaps including the UK, may have stricter/different standards. (And it was and would be obviously illegal to distribute in some countries.) https://www.justice.gov/criminal-ceos/child-pornography https://www.justice.gov/criminal-ceos/child-pornography ADDED: And, no, I would not be putting this album cover in my carry-on to get on a plane. I don't really expect a random TSA agent to be up on legal details of what photography is OK and what isn't.
- Freak_NL 5y agoDon't worry, just hit the next album button (but hope that it doesn't random over to Virgin Killer by the Scorpions).
- ghaff 5y agoYeah. Strip away the context of it being an album cover that's been out for a long time and I wouldn't like to be the person trying to argue with law enforcement or a judge why that photo/artwork is perfectly OK.
