Responses to "Leotards and the Law," from The Netly News
by Declan McCullagh 17 Dec '03

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 13 Aug 1997 16:11:04 -0700 (PDT) From: Declan McCullagh <declan(a)well.com> To: fight-censorship-announce(a)vorlon.mit.edu Subject: Responses to "Leotards and the Law," from The Netly News My own reading of the opinion is that Judge Conti doesn't address the most interesting aspect of this law, for instance the case of the South Pacific researcher who wants to create a sexplay animation. To the extent he does, he substitutes assertion from the Senate report for analysis (I agree with Prof. Freedman here). He didn't have to go further, really, since the plaintiffs explicitly said they weren't selling such animations. Conti only explores this idea in a footnote, which reads: "These incidental harms include the depiction of images created within the imagination of the artist. If the images depicted are of children, albeit imaginary ones, and not of actual adults of imaginary people who unequivocally appear to be adults, then the evils associated with child pornography cannot be avoided." This discussion of the imagination of artists strikes me as telling. You see, Judge Conti would like to ban thoughtcrime. -Declan --- Date: Wed, 13 Aug 1997 18:19:08 -0400 (EDT) From: David Greene <dgreene(a)artswire.org> To: declan(a)well.com Subject: Re: FC: "Leotards and the Law," morphed child porn lawsuit, from Netly I read Judge Conti's decision to be more consequential than Professor Freedman does. Three of its features are particularly disturbing to me: 1. Judge Conti held that the law is content-neutral. As the law is targeted directly and very specifically against the content of the depictions, I don't buy his "secondary effects" reasoning (that is, the law is meant to prevent the unavoidable secondary effects of simulated child pornography -- namely, the seduction of children into pedophilic situations -- not the simulated images themselves). The result of Conti's finding is that the law was subject to less demanding scrutiny than it owuld have been had it been found to be content specific. 2. Judge Conti notes that the statute sweeps within its reach "the depiction of images created within the imagination of the artist" that are "of children, albeit imaginary ones." He acknowledges that the illegaliztion of these depictions is an unavoidable incidence of the fight against child pornography. To me then, not only are Photoshop-synthesized images of half-naked children and an anthropology professor's computer-generated movie of the sex play of South Pacific teens be illegal but so would less realisitic depictions such as cartoons or paintings and various types of computer art. Conti tries to bail on this later when he talks about the affirmative defense written into the statute that exempts works not marketed as child pornography or in such a way that exploits its sexual nature as child pornography. However, this affirmative defense is avialable only to works that were produced using an actual adult person. 3. With respect to images of youthful-looking adults, Conti relies heavily on the affirmative defense as curing any constitutional ills the statute might otherwise have had. However, is it really clear when something is marketed "in such a manner as to convey the impression that it is or contains a visual depiction of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct"? Is the affirmative available to anything that does not call itself KidSeXXXX (or the like)? It still seems vague to me. The opinion seems to criminalize serious works that will use real adults or simulated (computer generated, drawn, etc) children to depict pedophilic situations in order to discuss pedophilia and admit that that is what they contain. Lolita? A Human Sexuality text book? National Geographic? The Supreme Court in the Ferber case and those that followed it was especially concerned with the harm caused to children that participated in the production of child pornography (or identifiable children who were made to appear as though they participated). Whether the mere viewing of child pornography was an equally weighty concern was a question on the outside of the constitutional analysis. Judge Conti's opinion is consequential in that assumes that this is the central issue. --- Date: Wed, 13 Aug 1997 17:17:44 -0500 From: jc <jch159(a)flash.net> To: declan(a)well.com, fight-censorship-announce(a)vorlon.mit.edu Subject: Re: "Leotards and the Law," morphed child porn lawsuit, from Netly suppose somebody alters a picture of a child in an erotic pose into a mouse, lets say. Or the lower half is of a mouse but the top half a child? is the person still liable? suppose a dog looks vaguely like its human owner (hey, there are even contests to that effect) and the dog is eating the leg of another human. Would the human most closely resembling the dog be in trouble? thank god there are judges out there like conti who will save us.

Law limiting child pornography on >>Internet<< upheldBY HOWARD MINTZ Mercury News Staff Writer A San Francisco federal judge has upheld a year-old law aimed at restricting child pornography in cyberspace, rejecting arguments that it violates free-speech rights and chills legitimate art and literature. In a 16-page decision, U.S. District Judge Samuel Conti on Tuesday found that the Child Pornography Act of 1996 is constitutional and a valid way to deal with the ``devastating'' effect of computer-generated kiddie porn ``on society and the well-being of children.'' ``Given the nature of the evils that anti-child pornography laws are intended to prevent, the (law) can easily be deemed a content-neutral regulation,'' Conti wrote. The American Civil Liberties Union, the adult entertainment industry and others have challenged the constitutionality of the law, saying it is so broad that it would criminalize everything from Calvin Klein ads to the recent movie rendition of ``Romeo and Juliet.''

Hypothetical situation for networks
by Mike Jones 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

This is a 100% hypothetical situation, though would be interesting to see if it is possible. A company does some R&D work, which it wishes to keep classified from competitors. However, they have two main offices on opposite sides of the country. Not wishing to use sneakernet type file transfer, they wish to pass confidential material from one network to the other using the Internet. Now we all know that anyone with a little bit of knowledge can intercept the packets as they go past and read the information. Email is out, as they do use a system of file mirroring, keeping each set of data as a backup as well as for usage. Would make sense for them to use a type of NFS system, but is there an implimentation of secure (ie: encrypted) NFS available? OS doesn't really matter, as it is a hypothetical system, but we'll assume either some form of unix/linux, or perhaps winNT or novell NetWare. Thanks in advance for the info and knowledge...sorry if it's been asked before. -- Mike Jones -- CNA, CNE, pursueing MCNE and MCSE currently. email: Mkljones(a)cris.com Finger Mkljones(a)cris.com for Geek code and PGP key "They cannot scare me with their empty spaces Between stars--on stars where no human race is I have it in me so much nearer home To scare myself with my own desert places."

Clinton on mandatory voluntary gun locks
by Declan McCullagh 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

AM-Clinton-Gun Locks,160 Clinton applauds gunmaker for safety locks WASHINGTON (AP) - President Clinton belatedly applauded Smith & Wesson Thursday for the handgun manufacturer's decision to begin outfitting all its pistols with safety trigger locks. In a written statement, the president called the move "an important and responsible step for children's safety" and said he hoped it would encourage the Congress to require safety locks on all guns sold. "Child safety locks are the right thing to do," Clinton said. Smith & Wesson, the country's largest gunmaker, announced Monday that all of their handguns would be equipped with a two-piece, keyed lock starting next month. Clinton has pushed legislation requiring such locks with all gun purchases, but House and Senate committees rejected the provision when they put together their anti-crime legislation earlier this year. The Senate bill must still be voted on by the full chamber when it returns from the August recess. APTV-08-14-97 1544EDT

How did the police get special 'rights' that normal citizens don't? Especialy considering that they are mentioned no place in the Constitution. And the Constitution specificaly prohibits via the 10th such self-invoked expansion of powers. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | Participation requires more than just bitching! | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.

CIA/NSA Index
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

There's a provocative list of forbidden CIA and NSA/CSS records which are not available under the Privacy Act, and which constitute a sort of negative awaiting development: http://jya.com/cia-privacy.htm (82 categories) http://jya.com/nsa-privacy.htm (19 categories) There are similar lists of national privacy proscriptives for most federal agencies available at the source for these. The one for Defense is an elephantine 1.4 MB, with tiny tims for the TLAs.
