sorry if this has already been discussed, but this seems odd to me.

is it suppose to be a man seated and a little kid standing facing them? i don't understand the stick figures, or how art could constitute child porn.

I have a problem with any drawing being considered "child" pornography. I mean, if it came from the artist's imagination, who is being harmed? The imaginary child?

Wasn't that the rationale that the Supreme Court used to strike down a ban on computer-generated kiddie porn?

the link is the article that inspired the thread. the title of this thread uses the same graphic the article uses, so if this is offensive then the article will be too. :peace:

Quote:
[T]he plaintiff was convicted ... of possessing child pornography contrary to s 91H(3) of the Crimes Act 1900 (the Act) and using his computer to access child pornography material contrary to s 474.19(1)(a)(i) of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (the Code). The alleged pornography comprised a series of cartoons depicting figures modelled on members of the television animated series "The Simpsons". Sexual acts are depicted as being performed, in particular, by the "children" of the family. The male figures have genitalia which is evidently human, as do the mother and the girl.

I thought the supreme court upheld your constitutional right to create and view simulated child pornography.

The ruling, issued by the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Australia), affirms that a cartoon can be prosecuted as child pornography.

Ah, a different Supreme Court. I figured they'd have a wordier name for it.
