- lifthrasiir 2y ago"Kinda" may mean so many things that "kinda illegal" is as useful as no information, hence all these elaborations. They also matter for the eventual resolution.
- jagrsw 2y agoI beg to differ. Using "Incorrect" to counter the statement that distribution is illegal implies it's largely untrue. While a distinction between "illegal" and "de facto illegal" exists, your own explanation doesn't support such a strong rebuttal. You acknowledge that legal pornography, while technically possible, faces significant hurdles due to rampant piracy and legal loopholes. This creates a situation where accessing legal pornography is difficult and impractical for most, making the initial statement, that distribution is effectively illegal, more accurate than your initial "Incorrect" suggests.
- lifthrasiir 2y agoMaybe I should have also explained that, in spite of these difficulties, there do exist lots of pornographic materials legally available in South Korea. There are many adult-oriented channels in many cable television providers for example. If my wording made you think that legal pornography is technically possible but practically dead in SK, it is my fault. Legal pornography is okay, but just less popular than illegal pornography, I meant to say. (Probably because it is still a taboo to openly say about illegal pornography.)
