That's because minors are legally presumed incapable of giving informed consent to acts like this. It's the same reason we have an 'age of consent'.Originally Posted by udsuna
Without actually examining the statute in question, it'd be hard to give a legally sound answer to this question. But by using the harm principle and the normal victim/offender situation, I'd say it's perfectly legal. Even though the legislation might say that anyone is guilty, a certain degree of interpretation is required. The reason it might say 'anyone is guilty' is because it is intended to apply to anyone who has such a recording - on the basis that it is harmful for them to do so. Arguably, by possessing a recording of themselves, a person is not causing harm to anyone else, or benefitting from another's harm.[q=udsuna]We could also get a "big no-no" by breeding you with boris. Which is probably also illegal.
