The theory behind all this is so obviously dud that one wonders how it creaks along. The important players from the relevant branch of the entertainment industry who are providing expert testimony are not listening. It's useless for the jury to ask 'Why not?' Or it would be useless, if the jury were allowed to ask questions. 'Why,' they may well ask, 'can't this thing have artistic merit and be disgusting or vilifying, or inflammatory? Why can't we just order it to be destroyed, and then send its author to prison as we normally would? To which the baffling answer will be 'Because if it has artistic merit, then it is not disgusting or vilifying or inflammatory'. The members of the jury will of course be mystified. To get away with such offences requires artistic licence and an ability to summon major players from a branch of the entertainment industry into court to assure the jury that, despite the evidence before their very eyes, the object in the dock is not disgusting or vilifying or inflammatory because it has artistic merit. This intrinsic quality (so they say) is why they can sometimes get away with being quite offensive despite being morally disgusting or racially vilifying or politically inflammatory. They are objects with a very peculiar intrinsic goodness of such purity and potency that they are priceless, as well as quite expensive. The current theory - if that's not too grand a name for it - is that works of art are not like other things. With artistic licence you can be quite offensive and get away with it without artistic licence you need to be a lot more careful.Īrtistic licences are distantly related to the so-called 'artistic merit' defence, on which you may need to rely should you be prosecuted for offences such as publicly cultivating a garden bed in the shape of a hammer and sickle, like Morgan (in the film of the same name). It's more like having a drivers licence, with which you can endanger the public, open a bank account and identify yourself conveniently.
