This is the first sign of someone who has no real or rational argument when it comes to this issue.
#1 morally I am against non-nude and artistic nude under age sites.
#2 I am 100% Pro constitution and first amendment.
So I am constantly conflicted when it comes to this issue.
Right now these sites are protected by the first amendment as long as they stay within certain guidelines..and because of that and the fact that I want my first amendment rights to stay as they are I will defend them.
These site currently are legal..once again as long as they stay within certain guidelines.
For those who think that cp is only when you see a girl under 18 either nude or in suggestive clothing or involved in sex you are 100% wrong.
It's all a matter of context...one case in particular involved a guy who video taped young girls 8-12 in leotards at some sort of recital but focused primarily on their CLOTHED genitals.
The courts ruled this was CP and rightfully so.
So as some have stated here it's a very GREY area to get involved in...once again it's all about context.
If you have 16 year old girls in lingerie...which could be the very same lingerie model from Vogue but right next to her you have links and banners to porn sites then you've changed the context of the image and could very well get into trouble.
So once again and with feeling...I am MORALLY AGAINST such sites...but right now most of them are 100% legal and are protected by our first amendment rights here in America.
And for those who do not understand how this greatly affects your business then understand anyone...and I stress ANYONE on this board at ANYTIME can be brought up on obscenity charges based on violating local community standards...and your defense will be your first amendment rights to produce such materials...and by god you better hope they are still intact.
But also, I would hope that webmasters would be responsible enough to stay away from such garbage sites...it only reflects poorly on our business and keeps the eyes of the government watching us.
If we can't regulate ourselves then they will.
