Learning from porn ...

.. this independence day !

In the advent of Internet media, advanced countries struggled regulating p2p sharing for porn. There were enough laws to control the infestation - both production of pornographic material and consumption of it were illegal. But tracking it down to the offenders was not possible !

It was and is well, very well trenched in the society. There was and is plenty of demand. So the supply used to keep up - including the wrong and illegal types.

That was until, the "whistleblower" regulation .. where one key thing changed, "Consuming porn is NOT illegal, just producing is".

Just "WOW" impact on the number of illegal porn production. Now, anyone can be a bait consumer. Take it, and can tip off about the source. He is protected by law ;)

Corruption is the neo-child-porn of independent India. Nothing happens without bribing. And giving bribe and taking bribe, both attract the same level of punishment. We, the citizens, happily pay  out, and stay mum !

Lets learn from Porn this Independence day. If ANY law can change this social disease,  that would be to tweak the existing one a bit, where paying is no longer a punishable crime.

Happy Independence Day !  Jai Hind !
