As many have stated, there is and will be no objective rule on this. Much as I hate to agree with Xenophonz (being an unrepentant liberal), he's right - they're doing the best they can do under the circumstances. Much as I hate to agree with the PTB (being a rebel), I can understand their position. Why? They're afraid plain and simple. For our non-American brethern and sistern, or anyone whos been holed up in a cave with Osama for the past decade, we have a little thing going on over here called the "Culture Wars." Good vs. evil, you're with us or against us, that kind of thing. Exploiting hot button issues is a favored tactic of both sides. It's easier to gin up support against say "partial birth" abortion than abortion in general, etc. In this case, it's easier to attack "child porn" than porn in general. Even Ma and Pa Kettle may sneak down to the general store and rent 'Debbie Does Dallas XIV,' but not many people are gonna support nekkid chilluns. All it takes is one complaint or one ambitious DA somewhere to put you in a world of hurt. Last I heard, you can even be prosecuted for images of clothed children if there are things like a "lewd and lascivious" display of the genital area. It's a minefield with people throwing hand grenades. Yes, it would be nice if Renderosity stood up for art, had more nuanced guidelines or whatever, but they're human and they're trying to make a buck, not be martyrs on the cross of free speech. Frankly, even if they were a strictly non-profit operation, I could see their treading carefully. That's just the reality of how things are today. I applaud anyone who has the courage to buck the trend, but let's face it, the number of people willing to risk their "lives, fortunes and sacred honor" just ain't what it used to be - if it ever was - and most of them are walking the walk in Iraq.
