I was reading Nabokov's Lolita this week and was inspired to chase down the Canadian Child Pornography laws. I considered this a grey area, but upon reading the Wiki article I find the description of child pornography to be very harsh.
And of course, who can say anything… won't someone think of the children.
FTA:
Prohibition covers the visual representations of child sexual abuse and other sexual activity by persons (real or imaginary) under the age of 18 years or the depiction of their sexual organ/anal region for a sexual purpose, unless an artistic, educational, scientific, or medical justification can be provided and the court accepts that.
If I were to write a story about my sexual adventures with my wife back when we were under 18, I could be thrown in jail. Or how about a graphic novel?
If we were to act by the letter of the law, Canadians would not browse ASSTR or many other Erotica Sites due to the prohibition.
