Also shall we mention the actions of google? Was surprised to see this from a google search, I'd pressume it has got to be iok to include a link like that!! lol Anyway, just seemed odd to me that google would actually remove links from their results!! :o Perhaps it isn't too surprising, and should be expect. Just it seems like google could be going down the road they are already all the way down in china... How long until the china google is the worldwide google?

This statement would probably not be easily verifiable, as it would require looking at all of LS Studio's content:

It is not true that no overt sexuality was seen in the videotapes. Many contain simulated masturbation, sexual kissing and simulated oral sex.

Should the article perhaps explain how LS studios is different from say somebody like David Hamilton? Because as it is now I really can't see why LS was raided when compared to David Hamilton's work?? Although I could be slightly superfical here in viewing the work of each of them.Here is my dilemma: I believe it would be "easily verifiable by any reasonable adult without specialist knowledge" that LS photography is high quality and that the girls are always very happy. But who would dare say that they had verified such claims by looking at LS content? Despite extensive surveillance and eventually the arrest of various "Alex Model" employees across Ukraine, the legal outcome was lenient. Most involved were given suspended sentences. Alexander N. was held several months in a pre-trial detention center and was released. [8] [13] See also [ edit ] The first police report for the agency was received by the Crimean police in 2004 from a resident of Simferopol. [8] Law enforcement started surveillance and collected information, and officers identified about 40 people involved in this case in one way or another. The models never display a notion of coercion. Their expressions are comfortable and relaxed. While clearly staged modeling, the striking aspect is the self esteem and natural desire to be attractive. To tell one of these girls that they were doing something wrong would be quite new information to them. And as perfectly as they are crowned, the proposition would be difficult to persuade them of.

Please contribute if you have additional information. I plan on adding more in time. Zebruh 05:09, 29 November 2005 (UTC) I've been thinking very much for the last 32 hours about these discussions and how best to respond. The following statements could be "easily verified by any reasonable adult without specialist knowledge", although such verification may possibly be illegal: Also, the potential value judgments about content (professionally lit and happy girls) have been removed, until some way to verify them can be found. Jimbo's comment has also deeply confused me, as of all people, I would never expect him to respond in such direct opposition to so many of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. But those things can be disputed, and when it comes to such a controversial subject as this, I will respect Jimbo's opinion. Besides, he is founder.

The operations of the Kyiv-based porn studio came to close law enforcement agencies stopped its operations. As part of the subsequent investigation, the Alex Model agency in Kharkov was discovered. [2] This entire article reads like it was compiled from chatter in the preteen girl newsgroups of a year ago. The ukrainian news sources cited are not themselves objective and may be considered propoganda of the ruling elite. a b c d "Под видом модельного агентства для детей в Харькове работала порностудия"[Under the guise of a modeling agency for children, a porn studio worked in Kharkov]. rusawm.com. 12 August 2004.

First of all, I don't think that an article about a photo studio in the Ukraine needs to be held to a higher standard than internationally nororous works that have famously promoted anti-Semitism. You need to get perspective. In 2005, according to part 3 of Art. 301 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine ("import, manufacture, sale and distribution of pornographic items"), the organizer of the agency "Alex Model" faced a sentence of 3 to 7 years in prison.

I would like to continue to contribute to Wikipedia, and to get along with the current community. Can someone explain to me what part of my entries above are trolling? I need to know so I won't do it again. Definitions vary widely across time, cultures and national jurisdictions. Many argue (e.g. Judith Levine) that in the USA and UK the legal limits are unclear and dependent on the highly subjective interpretation of judges and juries, in which massive influence wielded by expert witnesses is almost never contested (trust me, I'm a shrink); and these interpretations together with a host of new laws, are constantly shifting in a conservative direction at the behest of 'political correctness', certain feminist groups, children's charities such as NCH, and tabloid populism." Came across this here, has a bunch of interesting info (although don't worry, no pictures there! lol). Might perhaps add this to the wiki article, such as the pay (10 to 40 dollars per hour, that sounds very very good to me if you are living in the former USSR!!) Ok. Let's make it clear. I agree with FloNight. There is no verifiable source for any informations about "LS Studio". The only information we have is about a child porn ring shutted down in Ukraine. Unless somebody can provide verifiable and reliable source for this studio work, this article has not his place in Wikipedia. I agree for a AfD as WP:V and WP:RS. -- Sam67fr 20:28, 5 April 2006 (UTC) These arguments are valid. None of the referenced articles mention LS Studio by name. And since the actual verifiable output of LS Studio is possibly illegal to verify, it seems that as far as Wikipedia is concerned, LS Studio did not exist. This is unfortunate, because regardless of the controversial nature of LS Studio, it did exist.
