the UK. Amazon UK doesn't seem to have it. Just how easy is it to find?
Amazon.co.uk did until Monday morning. And we have reports of it being in high street record shops. It's also widely available on the internet in general.
I'll hold off on speculating on *why* Amazon UK took it down (has Amazon US done so as well?). But good for them that they did so.
It should also be noted that this album cover has been continuously available in stores in the UK for 32 years. No one has been prosecuted, and it has never been banned. This strongly suggests the image is not illegal.
The IWF also stated that they blocked Wikipedia (although the image is available on plenty of other sites) for "pragmatic" reasons. Read into that what you will.
