Yeep.<br /><br />I understand the basic point of the argument--that if this was a real-life photograph of a mother engaged in sex with her children--it would be beyond the pale, and the possessors and/or makers of the original image would be sent to jail.<br /><br />But purely cartoon images? What's next, purely cartoon images of someone being stabbed will get the artist convicted of murder?

No video game is real, just as no fictional book is real. And anyone who thinks that real laws need to be used against imaginary characters needs serious mental health, whether they wanna ban the Goreans for involuntary confinement, or have Col. Mustard (ret) arrested for that killing in the [parlor room] with the candlestick.</I>Sadly the Australian courts have upheld a conviction of childporn against a man who had picture of the Simpsons characters engaged in sex acts on his computer.<br /><br />http://www.theage.com.au/national/simpsons-cartoon-ripoff-is-child-porn-judge-20081208-6tmk.htmlEdward Pearsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16064707444626044745noreply@blogger.com
