Just you wait and see what the legislation will consider to be 'Violent / Extreme Porn'. I think there will be a lot of us wiping hard drives and chucking out dvds, to ensure that what we might consider consensual hard material, doesn't land us in jail, with a mention on the sex offenders register. This proposed legislation is an horrendous attack on our liberties, and a massive intrusion into our privacy by a government that was steamrollered into it by an hysterical and unfounded public panic after a single court case. Even the judge involved declared that violent porn had nothing to do with the case. Keep a watch on Melonfarmers for news.

There are lot's of questions that need to be answerd by the Home Office:

How it came about (pandering to the press)

How the questions were biased to receive a ?yes? vote.

How the consultation paper repeatedly and unjustly uses a child porn spin to promote the reasoning behind this consultation ignoring the concept of consent.

How the selection of ?interested organizations? was chosen to maximize a ?yes? vote.

How responses from individuals ?brave enough? to share their private interests were ?filtered? by the home offices email system.

How human rights concerns were simply ignored.

How few people wished to have their name and address given to a government department whose main objective is to have those people thrown into prison!

How a resounding ?No? vote from the general public was ?ignored?.

How millions of Britain?s must now live in fear of their front door being bashed down and being dragged to a cell, awaiting ridicule from their peers as their private lives are splashed around the tabloids for millions to read about.

How the UK police forces now have details of millions of credit card transactions from ?non child? porn sites in the USA, awaiting the day this new law is passed. (The mess that was Operation Ore)

You thought it was bad before 2000, wait until this gets passed as law. See also for more info.

Couldn't have put it better, Jacques. What's the betting that none of your concerns are answered by the Home Office.
