There are several laws making simulated child porn illegal. However, the Supreme Court has so far struck down those which have gotten to it. Congress will keep trying until they can put you in PMITA Federal Prison for a stick figure which is too short. |

I believe it shouldn't because its not a real person. I don't really care what other people do as its their business, unless it involves a child/minor they should stay out of it.

I don't remember the specifics but I think there was a case where a guy went to prison for writing a story about sex with a child (or it might have been drawn, again not sure.)
There was a LOT of debate over it since no child was injured and that this looked like more of a "thought" crime. |

From wikipedia
"In the United States, child pornography is prohibited under both federal and state laws with some state laws including more or less restrictive definitions compared with federal law. Under federal law, child pornography is defined as visual depiction of minors (i.e. under 18) engaged in a sex act such as intercourse, oral sex, or masturbation as well as the lascivious depictions of the genitals." To get more of a run down go here »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_porn···d_States
and see what is or is not considered child porn. |

It begins. The standard "protect the children" excuse and, once they have the door cracked, there will be more incremental steps, untill everything you do is monitored. If you fall for this, you deserve what you will eventually get.
That is correct, 5287, Smith W. Allways remember that big brother is watching because big brother loves you and wants to protect you and your children from thoughtcrime.
Remember: ALLWAYS report thoughtcrime, no matter who it is and, that truth is a lie and a lie is the truth.
Big brother is watching. |

To some this would be highly illegal. Do to the fact it appearrs to be a child showing a good deal of leg. But then again those same types want to make porn/strip clubs/breast feeding in public illegal. As well as not attending church and worshipping the deity they call "god".

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't precedent set that, while real pictures of kids will land you in jail, 2D/3D rendered works do not? (Seeing as how its hard to cause mental anguish to paper/pixels)
All arguements about animated child ethics aside, if its legal to own, then how is it "OK" to be reported to the feds over it now under these proposed bills? |
