[1] Pornography is regulated by the Act to Regulate Dissemination of Works which Contain Pornography or Promote Violence or Cruelty (adopted by the Riigikogu on 16 December 1997, effective from 1 May 1998, last amended on 1 January 2015).
[1] Under the Act, "pornography" is defined as 'a manner of representation in which sexual acts are brought to the foreground in a vulgar and intrusive manner and other human relations are disregarded or relegated to the background'.
[1] When works are distributed outside the specialised places of business, it must be ensured that minors cannot see or examine their contents.
[1] If a business does not comply with any of these regulations, they can be fined or have their licence revoked.
[1] If it is unclear whether the work in question "contains pornography or promotes violence or cruelty", a business has the right to have an expert committee review the contents in order to determine whether they fall under the definitions of the Act, and thus need to comply to the regulations or not.
