[blind]

The Child Porn Law was cut down today by the Supreme Court <br /><br />2257 US Code 18 et seq<br /><br />Virtual child porn is now legal.<br /><br />Great... Now there is going to be CP japanimation and shit all over the place... Hell, the movies in Final Fantasy X and their movie The Spirits within look pretty damn real... Here we go.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2002/LAW/04/16/scotus.virtual.child.porn/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.cnn.com/2002/LAW/04/16/scotus.virtual.child.porn/index.html</a>

While everyone might not agree that virtual kiddie porn is right, this ruling is a very good thing.<br /><br />At a time when US citizens basic rights are being infringed apon, it is reassuring to know that there IS some intelligent life left that understand the value in upholding our rights.<br /><br />It is a good day for all Americans, congratulations.

What's considered "virtual"? I remember there was a case here in Canada where someone was making sex stories (no visual depiction) of child porn and he was arrested. I think its still in court.<br /><br />WG

when they struck the law down, it may be<br />constitutionally right as per law but it<br />is still moraly WRONG for any child to be<br />depicted as a sexual object wether it be<br />photos, drawings, movies or computer graphics. <br /><br />today is a sad day <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

PeepNTom, people will always want what they are told they cannot have. in the "roaring 20's", even people who never drank alcohol started drinking - because of prohibition.<br /><br />i am horrified by child porn and virtual depictions of it, but making it illegal won't stop it. having no market would stop it. and there is no quick-fix easy answer.<br /><br />there are still LOTS of countries where stories and such would be legal, and the web is world-wide.

I agree basschick, people are people but it<br />still makes for bad news that this happened.<br /><br />1. it will increase those that make it or possibly<br />might.<br />2. those with enough money can make some pretty<br />convincing CG (computer graphics) and those that<br />do will most likely be rich due to sick people<br />wanting that type stuff.<br />3. still a sad sad day and it blows my mind actually <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

whether you like it or not, it was the right decision. The fact that it and many other things like it are there, means you are FREE.<br /><br />I love how the Supreme Court usually always views the constitution objectively.

You don't have to be FOR cp to think this decision is a good thing. <br /><br />Hell, years ago people were banning those little walkers that mom's use....because the "walkers" kept falling down stairs!! <br /><br />Good morals do not make good laws! A better way is to prosecute the sickos and let the rest alone. (and to have parents really watch what is going on at home).

I just want my right to Smoke some buds its not hurting anyone but myself and its no worse the the cigarettes i smoke. Selective rights are BS Mother Nature makes it grow not some checmical process like smack or crack. <br /><br />Its legal for me to trip on Shrooms according to the DEA as long as i dont get cought distrubuting them for money. Yet i still cant grow some fucking buds or smoke it even for personal use and Shrooms are much more deadly. Never once have a heard of a case where somone OD on some buds unless the shit was sprayed. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />
