My point was that this is a natural outgrowth of existing child porn and obscenity laws, and if you're upset at this, you should naturally be upset at the entire framework.
Right. The big mistake was to criminalize "obscenity" in and of itself, to define what obscenity was by something as subjective as local community standards, and to make such criminalization independent of its willful dissemination to people who are offended by it. This creates the absurd situation that private ownership of material, deemed "prurient" by a majority of ones neighbors, makes one a criminal even if it is never shown to anyone. All the rest of the censorship nonsense, including that related to the sexual depictions of minors, follows sequentially from this fundamental idiocy. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.
