Actually, I am not so sure we need this law at all. Child porn is already outlawed. If someone is using a child to pose in the nude in sex acts then they are pornographers the medium doesn't matter. Nudity is not porn as it is the way God sent us into the world. I mention this as it seems our current gov't is very busy defining God's intent for us. With Poser there is no need to have a real child, you already have the model ready to go, so there is no immediate victim as stated by the supreme court. Unless you catch the artist in the act of creating art with real children as the models in the poses that are sexual acts you cannot prove the artist wasn't working from memory of what a child looks like and then creating a work posing the virtual/thought child. I rarely use a model and haven't worked with nude models since college, yet I do alot of nudes in painting. Fairies and cherubs can't even be considered human so that whole line is rediculous. Show me a real child with wings growing out of its back and flying and I will rethink that. Till then, I am sorry, the artist is not responcible for the 3% of the population that are pedifiles. It's all out of context, as is the comment about catholic priests.The present powers that be don't like catholics any more than they like pornographers so we have a field day in the media leaving the public to believe all catholic priests are suspect and that all claims are true. There are significantly less pedifiles in pastoral work than in teaching. Less than 1% vs 8%. I say pastoral work, because you can not believe that priests are the only ones and the catholic church is the only religious order that has hiden it . What is appalling is the choise to hide it and leaving the suspect in position to repeat the crime. Again this is all the same, the media telling the story fed by government, outraging the population and causing them to believe that a drawing or thought is equal to the act.
