Well, the code in question seems to center around one requirement, "sexually expicit conduct". What is that? Does standing naked fall in that category? Or are they implying sexual activity (similar to what Bill Clinton denied)? I can tell you right now, I bought a copy of (one of) David Hamilton's books. If you know his work, you know most of the models to be under 18 (most, I would judge between 14-16). Yet the book is sold in the US. I guess the photgraphs are not depicting "sexually explicit conduct". As to the comment from France, I agree. Renderosity is worldwide. The laws on ages and such differ in all countries. And having been to about 25 countries (most of them in Europe), I can tell you we Americans come pretty close to making the top of the "prude list". So, IF anyone is suggesting some slight censorship, I guess we had better make it according to the lowest common denominator (say, the Vatican...grin) and not just assume thngs have to always be tailored for the US.
