Use of Computer Network For Child Sex Sets Off Raids
[snip]
...
Lawmakers have debated whether to restrict the use of 
computer networks. Today, a bill making it illegal to use 
computers to produce child pornography was introduced by 
Senator Orrin G. Hatch, the Utah Republican who heads the 
Judiciary Committee.
The bill would expand the definition of child pornography 
to include any photograph, film, videotape or computer 
image produced by any means, including electronically by 
computer, if it depicts or appears to depict a minor 
engaging in sexually explicit conduct.
If I'm reading this correctly, if I Photoshop a kids face onto the body 
of the latest Playboy centerfold, I'm in violation of this proposed law?
