Assuming life imitates art to a certain extent, here's the FR philosophical question o' the day... Bad assumption, bad conclusion.
So if life imitates art, and a piece of suppossed art models a destructive form of behavior that we would never want to see indulged, should that piece of art be banned?
Child porn is not art, it is a crime. The rest is moot because of that.

Boy, Protagoras, you sure have the Greek art of sophistry down pat...

Actually, what the courts have said is that the argument that CP is art is not a defense.
There is no need to argue whether it is art or to revolt at someone calling it art.
It is simply illegal art.
