Blackhearted, after beaten ye olde strawman some more, says: yes, onc ecould argue that there is no way to determine consent in a render,

one could?  blink.  damn straight.  it's a given.  consent cannot apply to digital meshes.  they cannot give it.  they cannot even understand the concept.  they are not people, they're not even animals; they have no central nervous system, they cannot think, they cannot feel pain, they're not real.  digital meshes are like fiction.  no mystery author gets put on trial for murdering their own fictional characters either. 

one might make a contrary argument about a mesh that is intended to be a real person's physical likeness -- i am distinctly uncomfortable with renders that do so even in a completely wholesome context because they go over my line of data privacy:  i believe all people should own the right to their own data (which includes their physical likeness), and usage by others should be very strictly regulated, much more so than it is now.  i dislike real-people fic and tabloids as well, and don't consume them.

as to people's fantasies -- spare me your thought police.  fantasies are not criminal.  they are, like written fiction, and like 3D renders, imaginary.  there is no punishment for thinking bad thoughts, and that's a good thing, or we'd probably all be in jail.

Keith, that image rocks my socks.  :)
