I don't have answers to your questions, but would like to kind of add to the questions as well.

What about legality - who is going to be in the legal position to be judging porn from art ? I live in Canada, and was curious about this question recently. I did some google searching, and came up with very little real information.

I found one quote that states for underage subjects, porn would be anything that includes sexual acts, or any nude photos that are designed to focus primarily on the genitals. This was quoted as the law in Canada, but was without references so I'm not sure how closely that reflects reality.

An ex-policeman told me that this sort of thing is supposed to reflect local standards, and as such a judge would have to decide in a case, and the judge could say that since local attitude is any nude underage depiction is child porn, he could find that this was porn.

For me nude children in a swimming hole is not porn since I used to go swimming in the buff in drainage ditches as a kid. The TV program you were watching I would not call porn, but others in my community may.

I'd love it if someone had some links to law sites with information on this. (Canadian especially) Or some knowledge to post to add to this link. Looks like my job is going to require that I have some information on this subject.
