Personally I believe this to be utterly ridiculous... but hey a sympatethic judge and a good lawyer can get you a small fortune if the stars are right in those kind of law systems... I see a myriad of disclaimers being born because of this but nothing more than it.

I hate these laws. Obviously its worthwhile combatting child pornography and the like in the online realm, but otherwise, government and court systems ought not interfere with it as has been done here.
