CGI and 3D modeling techniques have made one of the most difficult things to realize become a reality. Take a look for yourself and let me know if this isn't someone who you might run into on the street.

Take a look at the image and then think of one item. Kiddie porn!

The laws against Kiddie Porn are aimed specifically at one goal. It isn't an attempt to repress the pedophile's emotions/sensations...it's all about protecting the kids used in these pictures and movies.

Now...imagine that these kids don't really exist and never did.
How will the law touch on this? No children are harmed in the creation of this film/picture. Does it fall into the same loophope as illicit writings, poetry, thoughts?

All of those, although immoral, are NOT illegal. Why should CGI Kiddie-Porn be?
