Quote - Anyway, I find it odd if nobody knows or can point to litterature of reference regarding what US law is on CG images. Clearly I would not expect definitive legal  finding as that is obtained in court, issues of copyright for instance would not require legthy littigation if all answers were clear cut, yet in copyright forum of RMP people do hazzard basic understandings of pertinant law.

E.G. Digital character percieved as under age of 21 years may not be created in nude or sexual render in USA.

I posted several links to articles where this is discussed so far as US Laws are concerned.

In Canada it's a bit more "grey".  Age of consent here is 14 years old, and there have been some cases where a male was caught with naked pictures of children,  but could not be charged. Why? Because he was taking the photos himself for his own "viewing pleasure" and was not  distributing them. There seems to be a law against distributing "child porn", but not making it for your own viewing.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
