Well, I still think that if ashcroft and bush get their way they had better remove all those classic paintings from all american museums. Because it will start with images that are realistic and then include those like Legume posted because it can be used to convince a child that it is ok. Why only CG work? Eventually that will expand to pen and ink and charcoal (on the grounds of who may have modeled for it) and then on to oils and sculpture. Children, fairies, nude women and such have always been a part of art. Will they next declare that all nudes are pornographic by the same standards? Furthermore what kind of fanatics are they listening to? I spent years cruising the boylover boards as part of an online watchdog group, over and over the comments to each other were about how they enjoyed the "natural" images of kids they found on the web. Not the nude bathtub images (although they did like them when they could find them) or the school photos. What they enjoyed the most were the kids at play having a good time images. Because they show the essence of childhood. So by these thoughts - all images of children being natural should be banned because those are what pedophiles enjoy as well. What about the mother arrested a few years ago because she took naked pictures of her child streaking through the house and the photo developing company got all fanatical about it and she was charged for taking "pornographic photos" of her child. It's all just so ridiculous, and I say this as someone who not only actively seeks to make others aware - both through an online site but also by going after School websites not to post personal information of children, but also as a victim of sexual abuse as a child. Sounds like if they have their way there will be witchhunts over this and the burning of images outside museums. It is a dangerous line they tread. Moving this country more towards dictatorship then freedom, because this law will declare that it knows what people are "thinking" when they create an image with a child sized model. Do I think that images of children involved in sexual acts should be illegal - you betcha! But where will that line be? A kiss, a hug maybe holding hands?
