How are you going to make it accessible? By having special, physical galleries for housing this banned art? or opening special forums on the internet, what sort of art do you think should be accessible, art like Bill Hensen's child photography/pornography? There is illegal art that violates copyright laws that are set up to protect intellectual property, is this the sort of art that you think should be accessible and if you do make this accessible, doesn't it just spit in the face of the offline codes of legal and moral practice that protect artist's rights to show and profit from their own work? You need to define what exactly the illegal art that you are trying to popularise is because alot of material could fall in the category of \"banned\" or \"illegal\" art and alot of this material is banned for good reason, child pornography is banned and one of the materials completely banned under internet censorship even, so if someone takes your argument and calls it art, does that mean we should throw it on a website or in a gallery and let people be educated by it? Publishing and popularising material like this is not justified by suggesting it stimulates debate and discussion, the debate and discussion can occur without some of these offensive \"art\" pieces being legitimized by being displayed and accessible, as is evident by this debate itself. Limiting access to obscene or offensive material is hard enough to regulate without the ability to just limit people's access to physical property today considering the digitisation of almost everything on the internet, encouraging access to something so loosely defined as \"art\" or \"illegal art\" will be problematic and give an opportunity for people to abuse the system.","stance":"CON","annotations":[{"type":"me.args.argument.QueryTermHighlight","start":23,"end":26,"source":"me.args.retrieval.retrieval.highlight.SimpleQueryTermHighlighter"},{"type":"me.args.argument.QueryTermHighlight","start":125,"end":128,"source":"me.args.retrieval.retrieval.highlight.SimpleQueryTermHighlighter"},{"type":"me.args.argument.Snippet","start":182,"end":222,"source":"me.args.indexing.assessment.snippets.TextRankSnippetGenerator"},{"type":"me.args.argument.QueryTermHighlight","start":285,"end":288,"source":"me.args.retrieval.retrieval.highlight.SimpleQueryTermHighlighter"},{"type":"me.args.argument.QueryTermHighlight","start":346,"end":349,"source":"me.args.retrieval.retrieval.highlight.SimpleQueryTermHighlighter"},{"type":"me.args.argument.QueryTermHighlight","start":385,"end":388,"source":"me.args.retrieval.retrieval.highlight.SimpleQueryTermHighlighter"},{"type":"me.args.argument.QueryTermHighlight","start":456,"end":459,"source":"me.args.retrieval.retrieval.highlight.SimpleQueryTermHighlighter"},{"type":"me.args.argument.QueryTermHighlight","start":559,"end":562,"source":"me.args.retrieval.retrieval.highlight.SimpleQueryTermHighlighter"},{"type":"me.args.argument.QueryTermHighlight","start":830,"end":833,"source":"me.args.retrieval.retrieval.highlight.SimpleQueryTermHighlighter"},{"type":"me.args.argument.QueryTermHighlight","start":948,"end":951,"source":"me.args.retrieval.retrieval.highlight.SimpleQueryTermHighlighter"},{"type":"me.args.argument.QueryTermHighlight","start":1155,"end":1158,"source":"me.args.retrieval.retrieval.highlight.SimpleQueryTermHighlighter"},{"type":"me.args.argument.QueryTermHighlight","start":1441,"end":1444,"source":"me.args.retrieval.retrieval.highlight.SimpleQueryTermHighlighter"},{"type":"me.args.argument.Summary","start":1543,"end":1915,"source":"me.args.indexing.assessment.snippets.TextRankSnippetGenerator"},{"type":"me.args.argument.Snippet","start":1543,"end":1727,"source":"me.args.indexing.assessment.snippets.TextRankSnippetGenerator"},{"type":"me.args.argument.QueryTermHighlight","start":1818,"end":1821,"source":"me.args.retrieval.retrieval.highlight.SimpleQueryTermHighlighter"},{"type":"me.args.argument.QueryTermHighlight","start":1835,"end":1838,"source":"me.args.retrieval.retrieval.highlight.SimpleQueryTermHighlighter"}]}],"context":{"aspects":[{"name":"Censorship","weight":1.0,"normalizedWeight":0.3333333333333333,"rank":1},{"name":"Copyright","weight":1.0,"normalizedWeight":0.3333333333333333,"rank":1},{"name":"Pornography","weight":1.0,"normalizedWeight":0.3333333333333333,"rank":1}],"corpora":["args-me-2020-04-01"],"topic":"Illegal art should be made accesible","mode":"discussion","sourceDomain":"debate.org","sourceId":"S88316d04","sourceTextConclusionStart":1650,"sourceTextConclusionEnd":1686,"sourceTextPremiseStart":2548,"sourceTextPremiseEnd":4464,"sourceTitle":"Debate Issue: Illegal art should be made accesible | Debate.org","sourceUrl":"https://www.debate.org/debates/Illegal-art-should-be-made-accesible/1/"},"summary":"How are you going to make it accessible? ...

Whether someone might classify this Hensen art as pornography or not, promoting it's access on the internet for EVERYONE ensures just that, you will attract everyone, you will not only get the art enthusiasts who appreciate the artistic value of the naked human form but you will get every garden variety creep who decides to legitimize his perversions as an interest in \"art\". The argument that, as art, it should be available for anyone would also allow access to anyone wanting to view it for reasons other than it's artistic merits. It is a perfect example of the type of art that should not be made widely available, particularly on the internet, as there is a responsibility to the children featured. A website debating the artistic merits of Hensen's photos features the quote \"I've considered removing this post as it draws a lot of hits from Google for those searching for underage nude photos.\" http://southernpagan.com... This shows that the intentions of some people viewing the photos are undesirable. Just because something hasn't been classified as pornography, that doesn't stop it serving this purpose for some people. In response to those who might say, why should these few bad eggs ruin it for everyone, I say in the face of protecting the violation of children and their innocence and right to grow up and make this decision or consent for themselves, the minority of the corrupt is enough to warrant removing this material, the idea of publishing it or exhibiting it as you argue, would be an affront to one of the most commonly agreed on laws of the internet. One of the only laws actually agreed upon in the troubled jurisdiction battles of the internet, is the creation of the Convention on Cyber crime, with thirty country members, prohibiting child pornography. (Siegel, 2006, pp109). If thirty independent countries agree upon the protection of children, surely you cannot hope to convince anyone that it is the right thing to do to throw away any laws or regulations, children be damned, so that you can promote a free and open internet to promote cultural growth. Anyone that requires child pornography, or any obscene, offensive material to \"grow\" culturally, is probably headed down the wrong path anyway. Not only do you wish to uphold a loose definition of art but you also want to throw away copyright protection? http://www.illegal-art.org... This website focuses on material that has been banned not because it is offensive, but because of copyright laws. Disney is featured 3 times. It does not make sense for copyright laws that exist in reality to disappear once art makes it onto the internet. The right of citizens to be able to view what they want without censorship is overridden by the right of original creators and distributors to have ownership and control of their intellectual property. Who's to say that just because Walt Disney stole Mickey Mouse that stealing people's original works is the right thing to do. What if someone had stolen the Mickey Mouse design and made it a symbol for White Supremacy? Would this have legitimized stealing? It would have sent our popular culture in a completely different direction and you would not be singing the praises of thievery of someone else's original work, just because Walt Disney created a lovable character from stolen work does not mean his popularity absolves his crime of copyright. Popularity does not counteract theft. If copyright laws are flouted, as in the case of this illegal copyright art, we will stunt creativity in a completely different way, no one will want to create anything new for the fear that the work they may have poured their heart and soul into will be stolen in tha absence of enforceable copyright laws and profited on by someone else. If Walt Disney did in fact copyright Mickey mouse, how do you think the original artists would feel everyone time they watch the Disney Channel. To use an example outside of the internet, graffiti is illegal and is considered a form of art by many people, yet there are far fewer objections to it being removed from public view. Under the argument presented here, it should remain accessible to anyone who wants to view it. The point here is just because something is classified as art doesn't mean it is morally or ethically acceptable, nor does it mean it is victimless. Illegal art is illegal for a reason, whether that be copyright infringements or because they are highly offensive. They should not be available for anyone to view just because they want to. If it was ever possible to effectively regulate access, the definition of what constitutes \"art\" would have to be thoroughly defined as opposed to the free for all blanket use of the terms \"art\" and \"freedom of expression\" which you seem to think is enough to justify the misuse of children, who have no legal capacity to consent yet and by the time they do, their \"art\" will be forever digitized in the world of the internet, where they will just be a click away for any pedophile in the world.

Decide to view obscene and offensive material, and you will find yourself a pedophile. I have argued consistently that this is utterly false and a flawed argument. The following arguments spring to mind, I, nor anyone else can remember a previous period where we made a cold calculated deliberate choice to establish a lack of respect for children in art, available in an online museum. Not to say that some people may do this however those abusing children in this way have their own means of acquisition and dissemination and are not dependant upon a museum for their searches. I call on a point of order. Your argument that the proposition would encourage lewd misuse of illegal art is not entirely true. There is much research to say that it is not only nude images that encourage pedophiles. Many are encouraged by relationship and other aspects. Clearly you assume that art work will give access to material for pedophiles again not true, as seen on the above film clip this material is already accessible. I am calling for a museum, a place where history is recorded, meaning is debated and formed. Importantly Bill Henson 15 years ago produced a series of teenage nudes sprawled across car bonnets. Not titillating, more akin to a nightmarish car wreck. Some of this series of nudes are on show at the Newcastle Regional Art Gallery, where they have barely raised an eyebrow, let alone a scandal. Yet the recent teenage nude photographs caused such a scandal, only when Kevin Rudd commented publicly about his dislike about the photographs, was police action taken. His response was deeply felt and genuine, but emotional and aimed at maintaining political image. How is it ok with the public, police and Kevin Rudd that there have been nude teenage art works by Bill Henson displaced in Newcastle for 15 years, but the current photographs are so despised? He's forgotten what the role of art is in a democracy. Accessibility should be made available to the public. To ban anything in art can be both politically and socially dangerous. Any supposed moral or social offense surrounding the work is entirely in the eye of the beholder. A blanket response of 'disgust' in the face of nudity, child or adult, reflects more upon the viewer than on the work of art itself. That is, some people will find it objectionable where others won't. The whole purpose of digitisation on the internet is so users can have access to whatever their heart's desire, including exhibitions they have missed out on seeing physically because it was deemed as illegal, obscene or offensive art. This should not be allowed to stop people making up their own minds for themselves and seeing the work or prevent accessibility on the internet. In today's society, culture is very much controlled as you mentioned. Google is a great example. Our accessibility to any culture is so difficult, because of the copyright laws. It is understandable how some people would get offended by \"illegal\" art and would not want to view it physically in an art gallery. However the people that do see beauty in it should have the right to view it through the digitisation on the internet in their privacy. I thank my opponent once again for accepting this debate, and appreciate their insight.

In retort to your question �€˜How are you going to make it accessible?�€™ I envision through both as you said, physical galleries and online museums. �€˜What sort of art do you think should be accessible, art like Bill Henson�€™s child photography/pornography?�€™ As for the question of sexual content, In Henson�€™s work, it has been argued that the human figure regardless of age, form, stance or intent has a sexual element to it as a representation of a sexual being. We humans are sexual beings and that is one the attributes of the human form. That does not make the portrayal human figure vulgar or pornographic regardless of age from an artistic point of view. It is implored that common sense be used in the Henson case. People would not take nude photographs or make nude images of the neighbor kid or family friend, with permission of the parents and expect we could publish those images. You know that if you live in the civilized world that if you did that the authorities would be knocking on the door, eventually. It is just plain common sense that should stop you, you should know better if you are a fifty something year old mature established artist. Not in the case of Bill Henson. I can say with certainty that the general public knows better and certainly anyone with pedophilic intention knows better. �€˜Doesn't it just spit in the face of the offline codes of legal and moral practice that protect artist's rights to show and profit from their own work?�€™ Yes it may well however it must be made clear that creativity and innovation always builds on the past. Walt Disney stole the original idea of Mickey Mouse from a writer and now stifles any attempt for this character to be represented without permission. The past always tries to control the creativity that builds upon it, Free societies enable the future by limiting this power of the past, Ours is less and less a free society. Never has creativity been more controlled. Take the addition, the changes, the copyrights turn, take the changes to copyrights scope, put it against the background of an extraordinarily concentrated structure of media, and you produce the fact that never in our history have fewer people controlled more of the evolution of our culture. Think of the consequences of this. Look at Google for example they have a monopoly over the online publishing industry and payed peanuts for it ($125M). What gives them the right to control culture? I think you are correct when you say �€œAllot of material could fall in the category of \"banned\" or \"illegal\"�€ï¿½. And this is the very point. A lot of work is being controlled thank you for making that clear. Culture production is being stifled through creative repression and copyright. In 1774, free culture was born in a case called Donaldson v. Beckett in the House of Lords in England; free culture was made because copyright was stopped. Don�€™t let 2009 be the end.

Without the guarantee of ownership over one’s artistic work, the incentive to invest in its creation is certainly diminished. Within a strong copyright system, individuals feel free to invest time in their pursuits because they have full knowledge that the final product of their labours will be theirs to enjoy.[1] Without copyright protections the marginal cases, like people afraid to put time into actually building an installation art piece rather than doing more hours at their job, will not opt to create. If their work were to immediately leave their control, they would most certainly be less inclined to do so. Furthermore, the inability of others to simply duplicate existing works as their own means they too will be galvanized to break ground on new ideas, rather than simply re-tread over current ideas and to adapt existing works to markets. Art thrives by being new and original. Copyright protections shield against artistic laziness and drive the creative urges of the artistically inclined to ever more interesting fields.
