Action justified if naked person on album cover is a child

Wikipedia should just delete the album cover from the article if indeed it is a naked child portrayed sexually, which would be against all international laws on child pornography. Delete the pic and the problem goes away.

I think this one falls under the "art" protection. Even if the art was used to create controversy.

But that is the excuse used by all child pornography purveyors - that it is art and should be ok.

But that is the excuse of all closet fascists, that art which bothers their delicate sensibilities should be banned or thrown in a pile and burned.

So you defend child pornography - as long as it hides under the cover of being art?

You really don't get the "ad hominem" thing, do you?

Kinda makes it easy to understand why your ideas about art and pornography are so simplistic, though.

Naked - yes.
Sexual? Maybe in your mind.

Nudity is not always pornography, and not all pornography involves nudity.

By your reasoning, any pictures of you as a child where you happen to be nude should be destroyed, as they are "child pornography" even if there is nothing sexual going on in the picture.

Face it, you conservatives are the ones with "sick" minds. You assign all this sexuality to things that have none.

Tell me TK, do you support child pornography? No? Then why do you support the blocking of child porn websites rather than having them shut down/used to catch pedophiles?

Logically you must be a pedophile because you're protecting them by hiding them from the public but not shutting them down.

Oh no! Ad-hominem attack'd! Hey, don't get mad at me, you started it!

No. Porn is porn. If you look at the cover, yes, it's controversial, and yes, some will find it offensive, but it's definitely art, and not porn.

Personal attacks are just that. They're not the same thing as ad hominem arguments.

Ad hominem remarks are attacks that are made in lieu of legitimate arguments. They're a form of distraction from the real issue.

In this case, you're being taken apart both by legitimate, logical responses and being made fun of.

Ad hominem abusive

Ad hominem abusive (also called argumentum ad personam) usually and most notoriously involves insulting or belittling one's opponent, but can also involve pointing out factual but ostensibly damning character flaws or actions which are irrelevant to the opponent's argument. This tactic is logically fallacious because insults and even true negative facts about the opponent's personal character have nothing to do with the logical merits of the opponent's arguments or assertions.

Ad hominem as a logical fallacy is when an attack is made in lieu of an argument. However, using an ad-hominem attack after, or in the midst of an argument does not automatically nullify the content within the argument, and does not constitute a logical fallacy, though it may be bad form in a debate.

If? Did you even look at the links referenced in the article before posting?

Rawr

@utu.fi

There was a huge flame war about this image a few months back. The upshot was that:

1) Wikipedia must comply with local laws to remove illegal content.
2) Wikipedia must not remove content for being legal but in bad taste, or every special interest group on the planet will have a field day.
3) Wikipedia, not being a law firm or a state, has no real way of telling whether something's illegal beyond the blatantly obvious cases.
4) This cover has been around for the last thirty years without being prosecuted, making it a not blatantly obvious case.

If you have any ideas on where to go from here, I'm all ears.

But the question is the naked child being portrayed sexually?

When I look at the pic I see nothing sexual about it. There is no exposed genitalia. There is no suggestive motions or facial expressions being performed by the child at the time of the shooting of the picture.

Now with that said, I do think the original album cover was done in poor taste. But you can blame the record company for that one. It was their idea, not the band. The record company even said they will go to jail over it. According to the band, the album cover had nothing to do with the song.

Hey, lets ban AllMusic.com while we are at it.

»allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sq···xqq5ld6e

Guess Clapton, Windwood and Baker are just too old school to matter.

That is the reason we have a judicial system as least in the US to keep extremists from seeing everything as porn.

Yes it is Art. No it's not sexual.

Like I always said, if you like strict rules, there are still countries where you can immigrate to that will be glad to ban your problems.

Re: Action justified if naked person on album cover is a child

I actually have that album. I am a big Eric Clapton fan, especially with his days with Cream.

I consider it a piece of artwork, hardly pornographic at all. Mostly because I do not consider breasts in any stage of development part of female genitalia.

Amen to that, at least in this country I can choose what art is in bad taste or not, not the government.

Edit: Well not yet.

Just because puritan English speaking prudes think that a tastefully naked teenager girl is child porn doesn't mean that it is child porn in any other non-English speaking country or culture.

Why is it that English speaking countries call themselves enlightened, but are actually the biggest bigots (most of the time) throughout the known human universe?
