Viewing pornographic images or video of underage children on the Internet is legal, according to a New York State appeals court in one part of a decision about the fate of a college professor whose Internet browser had more than 100 such images stored in its cache.
The court’s decision found that looking at child pornography on the Internet without downloading it to a hard drive isn’t the same as “possessing” it, which New York State law prohibits.

Read the full story at Mashable, where you can also read the court ruling in full.

You can now download the new shotacon comic Entartete Shota as either a PDF file or – for all you comic geeks – as a CBZ file (comic book archive). CBZ is basically a zip file with a jpeg image of each page, at a sweet resolution of 1280 x 1816 pixels.

The release of the e-versions of Entartete Shota came sooner than expected, and is due to heavy demand. Just don’t stop buying the print version – it might end up a nice piece of press history once it’s sold out (we’re about half way to that).

But Chuck didn’t want to plead guilty, because he didn’t think he had committed a sexual offense. The boys were on his side – they defended him in police interrogations and confirmed that the sex had been consensual. But that didn’t matter.

Chuck’s integrity led the court to give him a severe punishment: He received 20 years prison for each offense. 4 handjobs x 20 = 80 years in prison. As of today, Chuck has served 17 of them.

You can write to Chuck!

He wants penpals, and has approved me publishing this post about him. Through the help of a friend on the outside, he can receive and send e-mails (they are being printed/scanned and forwarded).

Write Chuck at chuck@as-nature-intended.org.

Write in English. Keep in mind that everything you write is read by the prison management. That said, you can write about almost anything – take the cue from Chuck, who is very open about his situation and feelings.

His friend has also helped him maintain a website called as-nature-intended.org.

Chuck is a hero for standing up against an insane justice like this. He’s serving 80 years in prison for what in Sweden would have resulted in a fine (at the most), and in Germany – Europe’s biggest nation – would not even have been a crime. I think he deserves our respect and admiration – and e-mails.

What do Shin and Yuu in the comic Change Over look like in real life? Stupid question, I know. Because Shin and Yuu don’t exist in reality – they are just comic book characters, drawn by shotacon master Tsukumo Gou.

But if they did exist in reality, this is how I picture them. (Photo found at Achille’s Accord.)

Shy but horny Yuu on the right. And Shin on the left, with his hard attitude but soft (and moist) inside. Do you agree?

Check out Entartete Shota here!

I’m immensely proud to announce the birth of my latest project Entartete Shota – a boy sex comic by Japanese manga artist Tsukumo Gou, translated to English by myself!

It’s been a long process to search out and contact potential artists for Entartete Shota. You know how picky I am – only the best would do, and I’m happy I did find the best one (and more are on their way!). I’ve negotiated in Tokyo (twice), designed the magazine in Berlin and finally supervised the printing of it in Prague. It took some months, but now the West is finally ready for the genre that rocked Japan.

Shotacon (shota) comics are drawings of young boys having sex. The genre is popular among male as well as female readers in Japan, and the artists too are of both sexes. The girl equivalent is called lolicon (loli).

Even though no real boys are involved in shota comics, there are countries where they are illegal. Wikipedia has a good page called The legal status of cartoon pornography depicting minors. Please read it if you’re not sure of the legal situation in your country! I will not be able to answer any questions regarding this.

If the first issue of Entartete Shota is a success, I plan to publish a new issue twice a year.

Ready to write publishing history with me? Then order your copy at Ilovemags now! (There are some sample pages there as well.)

By the way, the format is exactly the same as for Destroyer, so Entartete Shota will fit well in your collection.

People living in Sweden can order Entartete Shota at Sweden’s biggest book shop Adlibris, or read it at the National Library for that matter. Daily newspaper Expressen’s culture editor already wrote about it (she defended the comic despite disliking it), and Johanna Sjödin blogged about it.

There are 500 copies. It’s time to let the beat rock!

And to answer the question I know you all have now: Will Destroyer 01 and Destroyer 02 become available again, as pdf files and/or in print? The answer is: Maybe! At least as pdf versions. But it will take time. A long time. So for now, lean back and enjoy Destroyer 03 and 04. It took some time to compile them. And then let’s see if the first two issues can make the series complete at some point in the future. Follow Destroyer on Twitter to get the news first.

You’ve waited waaaaay too long for the release of the download version of Destroyer 03. The early issues of Destroyer demand a lot of manual work before they can be transformed into the sleek pdf files that you enjoy on your iPad, Android device, or computer screen.

But now it’s finally here!
