- edjoyce, on 03/11/2009, -0/+1There is a very important issue here. There are many works of literature that are more extreme than this piece, for example the Torture Garden by Octave Mirbeau. If we are to ban this piece on the grounds of its obscenity then we must ban all pieces of work which are more extreme that this. Prosecuting this on the grounds that it is obscene is unhelpful because it will draw in other work and restrict a basic freedom that had been taken for granted. We need to ask why this is being prosecuted. It is because the government/police is trying to determine what is to be allowed to be written on the internet. I do not believe that there is any written word in the English language that justifies a ban on the basis of obscenity and I hope that this case against this piece is not successfully prosecuted on the grounds of its obscenity.
