Fictionalized anything... no. I can't think of any examples off the top of my head that should require banning. I'm not suggesting that though.
Faces of Death it could be argued, is not "expression" of any kind under the guise of "freedom of expression". It is simply one party using the taped deaths of other parties to make money. There is no art, no message, no utility to any of it....
There is a difference between making a movie about someone who does kiddie pron (say a documentary or cop drama), vs. actually making it, distributing it or watching it for that matter.
I don't think anyone made the movies of these people's deaths with Faces of Death in mind. If they did, they are themselves accessories to murder because that would mean they knew in advance someone was going to die and they filmed it anyway. Therefore, not an act of expression. Merely a conglomeration of private footage that is being misused to make money.
...into the light of a dark black night.
