Pirating porn in SA: is it legal?

Does pornography enjoy copyright protection in South Africa?

 

[T3rminator]

"His penis is so big, it is illegal"

Seriously, who is going to be the moral authority that says yay or nay?

People pirate porn? You mean the TERABYTES of free porn isn't enough?

Copyright has nothing to do with the type of content but the fact that that contests belong to someone. If 50 sent makes a dvd with lots of bad words will this then make it legal to copy?

 

[Mr.CookieMonster]

You know you are desperate if you pirate porn.

 

[htpc]

Even if its FREE they'll pirate it

In other forms of IP, like trade marks and patents, immoral or improper material is not afforded protection. As such, it is not completely out of the question that a court may see it fit to do the same for copyright. However, I hope they never do, considering freedom of expression concerns.

Its a weird thing , people will download TB's of their preferred content, porn or not, even if they will never watch it, kind of like a squirrel storing nuts (no pun intended)

True that. Looking at my music library I sometimes why the hell I have certain bands.

That quality looks like a photo you took from a pirated copy.

At some point we'll have an article from a legal perspective that actually answers the question posed in the headline, no?

Turn off safe search

 

[scudsucker]

No exception!

While I have, in the interest of rule 34 found porn of a woman being done up the bum while giving birth, strangely I cannot find porn involving giraffes. (aside from nature channel style giraffes mating, but that is not really porn.)

Red tube and p0rn tube

Not giving URL's as that got me an infraction last time.

Or do a google image search with safe search off... be warned... its a perilous journey
