RoyG, didn't you see meska's posts some time ago about censorship and the comments about Aschroft v. Free Speech? The old federal code was that all kiddie porn was criminal. The Sup Ct said the law was overreaching and required a carving out of exceptions for virtual images, no matter how graphic or abused they were. The new code trashed the Sup. Ct. and merely allowed a defense to criminal prosecution if you could convince a judge or jury that your kiddie porn was all virtual. Give it time, the Sup Ct will overturn the new code. Bottom line, people will abuse things, be it a gun, an automobile, a camera, or a computer program. The makers of the guns, cars, cameras, and computers are not to be blamed for the abuse of the folks who really ought to be in jail.
