(Canada's laws are so much better here... If it looks like porn and looks like a child, then it is illegal child porn. Freehand drawings are just as applicable as photos.)
(a) I'm not at all sure that's "better". Given the supposed basis for CP laws, it's mission creep, and I think it's mission creep in an undesirable direction. That way lies thoughtcrime. (b) While I haven't investigated it myself (the exact boundaries of what is and isn't legally kiddie porn are not all that relevant to me), someone who normally knows what he's talking about told me (offlist, when the subject came up on another list) that there is case law from the Supreme Court throwing that aspect of it out. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse () rodents montreal qc ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ privacy mailing list privacy () whitestar linuxbox org http://www.whitestar.linuxbox.org/mailman/listinfo/privacy
