Absolutely amazing. For once *I'm* not the one who's hijacking the thread. [:D]
To reiterate the same thing I posted a day or two ago, on the other thread about this ruling:
Back in college, I had a girlfriend who was 22, but looked 12. Nobody would believe that she was old enough to drink. She was barred from bars, had problems at a convention we went to, you name it.
If I had taken naked pictures of her, any developing lab in the nation would have turned me in to the cops, no doubt about it. And if that "virtual child porn" law had existed back then, EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS 22, there's no question that I could have been convicted under it. Just because she looked really young, even though she was older than I was.
So I think the "law" was a piece of crap, and that the Supreme Court was damn right in throwing it out. What's next, "virtual murder"?
