Yes, I believe part of being a tourist or traveling to another country is learning the basics of that country's laws.

If you went to a country where it is illegal to sell porn and you sold porn there then yeah don't get shocked if you get in trouble. If you are arrested because once somewhere in your life you sold porn but never in that country then that is a different matter.
Funny, I thought you believed in human rights. Is free speech, thought and expression not included? Guess gay people should just stop being gay when they visit Saudi on business. Or else, if they get hung they should of obeyed the law right? Just because you or I wouldn't risk the prison sentence, doesn't mean anything. Yes, I'd obey the laws too. At times these laws need challenging though, and those of us who don't wish to put our lives on the line for it should not sit down and simply say "well that is the law" when another does.
