Eric,I am completely gobsmacked! This is a really interesting development from your bw shots.

thank you cyn, this will keep me busy for a bit

V impressive Kort, I consider myself chalenged. LOL-

I've just had a look at Kort's site - they look excellent but do specify USA warranty!

v impressive series

If you're buying from the USA instead of Europe, don't forget to think of 1. shipping costs 2. warranty - how happy will Swedish dealers be to service/repair? 3. Customs duty when you import 4. VAT (ridiculously high in Sweden) on top of import duty. One possibility you might look at is nipping over the border to Norway, buying it there and claiming the VAT back as you are buying it for export into the EU. Then (naughty, naughty) not declaring it to the Swedish customs. (Da*n, I'm not sure this will work as Norway is a member of the EEA). This certainly works if you come to Switzerland (VAT = 7.6%)

Night Shots would have the advantage of encourageing me to use the tripod I hope to get for my birthday - lol. Anything except cigarettes.

I have been reading the thread on the Poser forum. For fairly obvious reasons many of them feel more threatened by the ambiguities of these new TOS. Many of them suggest that this is a pre-emptive move to cover RR and its owners against being accused/sued/the general vagaries/occasional lunacies of the civil law in the US. If so, wouldn't it be appropriate for the legal department to publish their advice so that we can at least understand it? Charles

what if I find a similar picture of an 'angel' taken from some piece of religious art inside a church or cathedral?

I have just re-read the new child image guide-lines and am very interested in getting an answer to Gerhard's question.

Historically, one of the major difficulties faced by those trying to make anti-pornography laws has been the difficulty of defining pornography - filth (like beauty) is in the mind of the beholder. This has also had the positive effect of allowing the censors to make complete fools of themselves (the very booring and worthy novel 'Black Beauty' was once banned in South Africa).

In this case, where it is in everyone's interest to have a clear and reasonable policy - may I suggest that the rules be interpreted in such a way as to classify sculptures like the one above (possibly on the facade of a church?) and paintings (and even photographs) as not being 'children' or even 'characters resembling children'.

Yours,

Charles
