And since we're here, let's throw in some NEIL GAIMAN quotes for good measure....
................................................
"The Law is a blunt instrument. It's not a scalpel, it's a CLUB. If there is something you consider indefensible, and there is something you consider defensible, and the same laws can take them BOTH out, you are going to find yourself defending the indefensible. The law is a big blunt instrument that makes no fine distinctions between what you like and what you don't like, and you only realize how wonderful absolute freedom of speech is until the day you've lost it."
....
"You ask, What makes it worth defending? and the only answer I can give is this: Freedom to write, freedom to read, freedom to own material that you believe is worth defending means you're going to have to stand up for stuff you don't believe is worth defending, even stuff you find actively distasteful, because laws are big blunt instruments that do not differentiate between what you like and what you don't, because prosecutors are humans and bear grudges and fight for re-election, because one person's obscenity is another person's art. Because if you don't stand up for the stuff you don't like, when they come for the stuff you do like, you've already lost."
.....
A User on Tumblr once asked Neil Gaiman if his views still remained the same as from before, Neil Gaiman replied:
"Same views, I still haven't read any l0lic0n books. I still firmly believe that people should not be imprisoned for DRAWINGS, even drawings which YOU disapprove of... I still believe that ACTUAL CSEM with real victims is an EVIL thing that should be prosecuted."
