Law popularization live broadcast: I am really not the godfather of criminals!

Chapter 143 Why buy pornographic books to make money! It’s not a crime!

"No, I have no more questions!"

After hearing Zhang Wei's inquiry, Chen Ge quickly responded.

"Thank you, Lawyer Zhang, for clarifying my doubts. I have no more questions to ask. It's getting late. I won't delay your lecture. I'll go down first!"

After saying that, he handed the microphone to the student council member who was holding back his laughter. Chen Ge ran off the platform as fast as he could in his life and disappeared into the playground.

However, looking at the other person's speeding back, Zhang Wei chuckled and shook his head. After looking at the time on his watch, he slowly spoke to the students below.

"Everyone, it's getting late. There are still ten minutes left before the end of the open class. I'm afraid I won't have enough time if I ask people to come up."

"So, I decided not to ask people to come on stage, but to ask a few small questions for the students to answer."

“Let’s see if everyone’s basic knowledge is strong and their understanding of laws and regulations is thorough!”

When the students in the audience heard Zhang Wei's words, they immediately became energetic and answered loudly.

"Lawyer Zhang, just come over here!"

"We will definitely answer the question correctly!"

"With so many of us, we can definitely knock you down!!"

"........."

Listening to the constant responses from below, Zhang Wei smiled and spoke again.

"Since all the students are so confident, my first question is."

"Suppose Zhang San purchased a batch of Jin Ping Mei and then sold it in the university town. The sales volume was very good and he gained a lot of money."

"So, does his behavior belong to spreading obscene materials for profit?"

As soon as Zhang Wei's question came out, the students in the audience were still thinking about whether there was a trap in his question, but the audience in the live broadcast room directly expressed their judgment.

"It must be distributing obscene materials for profit! Do you still need to consider this issue? You must know that it is Jin Ping Mei! It was the first obscene banned book in ancient times!"

"That's right! There is no need to consider this kind of issue at all! Of course it is a crime of spreading obscene materials for profit! If Jin Ping Mei is not considered obscene materials! Then other pornographic novels are out of the question, right?"

"Yes! It definitely constitutes the crime of spreading obscene materials for profit! If it doesn't constitute it! How can it be justified!"

"…………"

However, there are a thousand Hamlets among a thousand people. Some people dare to make a direct conclusion, while others will have doubts.

"Isn't that right? I've seen that they are sold on TB, right? If you sell Jin Ping Mei, it is considered as disseminating obscene materials for profit! Then those people who sell them online! Isn't it also illegal?"

"That's right! I saw it being sold online a few days ago! I didn't see the store being blocked either? Besides, the sales volume looks pretty good?"

"…………"

However, those who thought there was no problem were only a few people after all. Under the huge barrage of people who thought they were guilty, they were quickly submerged without a trace, without making any waves at all.

Just as many viewers in the live broadcast room had already determined this question, Zhang Wei began to look for someone to answer the question.

"Second row, third, female classmate wearing a baseball cap. Do you think Zhang Sangou is not guilty of the crime of spreading obscene materials for profit?"

The girl who was named by Zhang Wei stood up slowly, thought for a moment, and then answered.

"Zhang San should be guilty of distributing obscene materials for profit." "After all, the book Jin Ping Mei is indeed an obscene publication. Making money from selling this book falls within the scope of distributing obscene materials."

When Zhang Wei heard the girl's answer, he didn't say it was right or wrong. Instead, he picked a classmate again and stood up to answer the question.

"Third row, fourth, boy wearing glasses, please get up and answer the question."

"Lawyer Zhang, I think Zhang San is guilty of spreading obscene materials for profit."

Zhang Wei's expression did not change when he heard the other party's answer. He glanced around calmly and asked calmly.

"Students around me, do you have the same answer as these two?"

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, the students in the audience looked around to see if there were anyone else with different opinions.

But, at this moment, a boy in the first row raised his hand and stood up.

"Lawyer Zhang, I have a different opinion!"

"I don't think Zhang San is guilty of spreading obscene materials for profit!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei asked him with a look of neither sadness nor joy.

"Give your opinion."

Looking at the expressionless Zhang Wei, the boy felt very nervous, but after adjusting his mentality, he still expressed his opinion very firmly.

"Although the content of the book Jin Ping Mei is somewhat explicit and contains pornographic content, its essence is not a pornographic publication, but an intangible work of art passed down from ancient times."

"So, although Zhang San thought he was selling obscene materials, he was actually buying works of art. From a legal perspective, he did not commit the crime of distributing obscene materials for profit. In fact, he was even guilty of distributing obscene materials. Neither can be constituted.”

When Zhang Wei heard the other party's explanation, a smile appeared on his face that was neither sad nor happy.

"This classmate answered very well."

"Zhang San's profit from selling Jin Ping Mei does not constitute the crime of spreading obscene materials for profit."

"And the reason is very simple. Just as this classmate said, in our opinion, Jin Ping Mei is indeed a pornographic publication, but within the legal regulations, Jin Ping Mei is a work of art."

"So, as this classmate said, Zhang San is not even spreading obscene materials to make money, but he is not even spreading obscene materials."

As Zhang Wei finished speaking, most of the students showed signs of astonishment.

They really didn't expect that Jin Ping Mei, which they considered to be a pornographic publication, was actually considered a work of art according to legal regulations. The gap was really too big! !

However, the audience in the live broadcast room felt even more confused and stunned than the students on the playground.

"This, this is really a knife to pull the ass, open the eyes of the sky! The Golden Ping Mei is actually a work of art! This horse riding is incredible!"

"Holy shit! Let's put it this way! I went to buy Jin Ping Mei, can I buy it openly? I thought it was a pornographic book! I have always been curious about it, but I never dared to buy it!"

"Jin Ping Mei is a work of art! This is really unexpected! From now on, the Jin Ping Mei will be seen openly and openly outside! No one should dare to say anything anymore!"

"Uh... upstairs! Your idea is really weird! However, although no one will say anything, the possibility of you being next to each other will skyrocket!"

"…………"
