Not All Genitalia Images Are Obscene: Supreme Court Rules

Pictures of genitalia are not obscene. A caveat: so long as their “evil” can be contextualized through criticism or explanation. That was the ruling by the Supreme Court last Thursday, concluding a six-year debate over just what constitutes obscene materials in South Korea. The case centered on Korea University law professor [http://kulawschool.korea.ac.kr/law/professor01.do] Park Kyung-sin, who formerly served on the Korea Communications Standards Commission [http://www.kocsc.or.kr/] (KCSC).
