Is this something still in production? I was under the impression this
was no longer being manufactured and was a piece of history.
Yes, if stores are actually selling this, I would think someone would go
after them. If its individual sales between private parties, most law
enforcement would consider this to be one count and not worth an
indictment. If there were multiple counts, as in a place of business, I
couldn't see not prosecuting.
There are hundreds of laws on the books that aren't enforced until it is
advantageous to do so. Sodomy, spitting on the sidewalk, even Al Capone
was tried for obscure tax laws instead of the crimes of which he was
actually guilty.

Well, you're probably getting closer there. If
someone wanted to
prosecute this today, there would be a lot of investigation required.
Who was responsible, when and where were they responsible, what laws
existed then, etc and all to try and put the toothpaste back in the
tube. Why didn't it get investigated when it occurred? Who knows, but
I'd bet there are good reasons why not. You can only get 5 gallons out
of a 5 gallon bucket and once the horse has left the barn, it's to
late
once you have a bit more in the bucket.
If you want to prosecute the person who made it, sure, that would be
tricky. Prosecuting someone for selling it in a high street record
shop is far simpler (it's a lesser offence than making it, but it is
still illegal if it is actually an indecent picture of minor).
