This isn't about baby pics or baby books, or the like. Its about the old code that criminalized any 'sexually explicit' image of a minor, whether or not an actual person was involved. For example, an 18 year old adult female with a baby face who is dolled up with pig tails to look like a minor, well, the person was adult, but the portrayal as a minor is enough under the old code to convict the viewer of child porn. The old code was way overreaching. It was the only code that reached into the privacy of the home and said what you did was a part of the commerce chain and punishable. I recall a case where a man with kiddie porn books was arrested for possession (note that I said possession, not commerce) when he moved them from his house to his shed in the back yard. The police were waiting and arrested him in his back yard when he walked out the door, without a warrant. So, if the old code said you were busted for looking at (possessing) an image of even a legal adult who looked like a minor, and didn't even care if the image had artistic value (like cupid on a card) then it does indeed infringe on several amendments. It infringed on the first amendment free expression (same as free speech by caselaw). It infringed on the 4th amendment against unreasonable search and seizure. It infringed on various privacy issues in the core of the constitution which were supposed to protect what a person does in their own home. Under the old code, if you went to a web site, were redirected to a kiddie porn site, exited out, and didn't know that a temp internet file was saved with the images in it, you could be searched and sent to prison for possession. The Ashcroft decision was designed to reign in that police intrusion and the particular issue at hand was CG art. While I agree there are problems with the Ashcroft decision, there are also problems before it that might be corrected. And if someone wants to start up a CG kiddie site, that is an abuse that is protected now. Congress is aware of this and working hard to stop it. Like I said, it will be interesting to see who ultimately wins in the power struggle of the three branches of government. On a side note, while I enjoy these forums on 3d stuff, I never expected to have my mind jogged in this arena and very much appreciate these threads.
