As of today (Friday, January 23), extreme pornography becomes illegal to own in the UK.
The change in the law followed the brutal murder of Jane Longhurst, whose killer, Graham Coutts, admitted being addicted to violent internet pornography.
At the time, her partner said: "Jane would still be here if it wasn't for the internet."
The ban followed a concerted campaign by Ms Longhurst's mother, Liz,
to have extreme pornography banned, including a petition of 50,000 people.
But privacy campaigners and libertarian groups have condemned the law as an infringement of personal freedom.
In a comment piece for politics.co.uk, Julian Petley, professor of Film and Television at Brunel University, said: "Appeasing the moral authoritarians has always been at the root of this measure".
The law bans pornographic images which depict an act which threatens a person's life or would cause serious harm to the anus, breast or genitals, regardless of whether the scenes are real or acted.
There are also bans on depictions of sex with animals or corpses, regardless of whether the animal or corpse is real.

So much for freedom of choice. I wonder how they're going to regulate it. We better ban M rated games too unless we want one of those deranged gamers raging and killing someone because they are addicted to GTA! Stupid piece of legislation is stupid. What happened to people blaming the person for their actions. This is simply majoritarian tyranny.
I'm pretty sure he'd have killed someone else without the internet >.> He was already mental obviously, otherwise he wouldn't have copied stuff like this (or did anything like it). It's sick but they shouldn't ban it because of one case.

^ Exactly what I was thinking. While they're at it why don't they ban every movie with a killing in it. Someone might go ahead and copy that too.
Doesn't this mean that if a person is watching horror movie and they get sexually aroused doesn't it mean that the cops can arrest them? Its basically the same thing except its glamoured up by hollywood

A plane carrying Christian missionaries crashes in the middle of the Pacific ocean. Miraculously, two priests and a nun survive and make it to a remote desert island. Stranded all alone, with no hope of rescue, the three are unable to resist temptation.
However, after a few months, the woman is overcome by guilt at the sins she has committed and so she kills herself.
Several months later, the two priests have a moment of clarity and realise they also cannot cope with the guilt of what they are doing.
