The thing is that most people who are into this stuff would probably view VRML graphics as too primitive to hold their interest for the sake of "stimulation." I would suspect that the people who would end up getting involved in putting Hillary/Evangelista in, ummm, compromising positions would probably do it for the humor value (not that the censor mongers won't have a fit over this anyway). When your CPU becomes the bottleneck in net connections and not the actual bandwidth, *then* some people might decide to spend the time rendering such things. However, w/ the state of things today I have yet to see a totally realistic looking rendering. You can usually tell a photo from a rendering.

many pornographic stories on Usenet, it won't be long before famous personalities routinely get violated in cyberspace. Talk about copyright: do you have the right to prevent someone from doing this to you?

I suppose slander would be some recourse, or you could copyright your likeness and use copyright violations as well. Many TV/Movie stars do this. Alex F =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Alex F alexf@iss.net Marketing Specialist Internet Security Systems =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
