Tl;Dr: Sharing Nude scenes out-of-context are considered a form of involuntary pornography in Denmark (portraying artistic nudity as pornography) and this man was arrested for compiling and sharing nude scenes of Danish actors from Danish films and sharing them while inside Denmark...

This has nothing to do with film studio profits or piracy, this is a man who ran afowl of his home country's laws about pornography.

And to be fair, a woman appearing nude in a film doesn't mean that sexualizing the shit out of her publicly isn't scummy fucked up behavior. I think I understand the law here.

Afoul, surely?

Honestly I feel a bit uncomfortable seeing nudity in films. I think "he's this person who's half my age, so agreed to take her clothes off and be filmed because her job required it".

Nudity is fine its long boring softcore sex scenes that are the real crime

Not sure what happened midway through this example, but the nudity may settle my remaining questions.

They choose which films they work on, and they do have influence over how sex scenes are filmed and performed. At least in the US, the union does protect actors.

Good argument but if the guy uploading it would be in another country this law couldn't be enforced. Basically it's an unenforceable standard. To insist on enforcing it could lead to draconian measures.

The article mentions upload filters but that then again create a large burden. This burden requires more work or more money. Which leads to a centralization or monopolization of the internet. Which would be in the interest of social media corporation who can shoulder the burden.

In the future the ethical issues of porn could be solved by investing in and creating a near perfect AI porn model that can serve all our degenerate needs WITHOUT requiring humans to take their clothes off. Basically ethically sourced synthetic "vegan" porn that is created for your on demand in your own home. And then you can ban all the real porn because the demand for it will plummet. Of course there will still be people who get off on the abuse instead of on the fantasy.

Yeah Denmark is very relaxed about bodies and public nudity in general. Denmark was the world's first country (in the modern world) to legalize porn. However, consent matters and consenting to one type of exposure doesn't mean consenting to everything.
