Just heard this on the news. Can anyone find a net link to recent supreme court rulings. Apparently they decided that you cannot ban art that depicts children nude or in sexual acts as this has been a human tradition for countless millenia. However: pictures made using real children are still illegal and pedophilia. But CG made or painted work cannot be banned or restricted. The ruling was based on the 1st Amendment and on 'human traditions'. Interesting. I'm no fan of making sexually explicit images of children with my Poser... but this protects all those "fairies" people have been posting here for the last few years. It would also allow me to finally have more than just adults in images of my classical fantasy world (though I have no intention of showing them 'doing stuff' as that's not my thing...).
Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
