it begs the question of how do you treat family baby photos, which everyone has.
perhaps the big thing the law is missing is the mind and intent of who is 'distributing' these things, and whether there is an element of self-promotion as opposed to what I imagine goes on with child pornography, which is a very serious issue.
quite often 'the law is an arse' or as the Americans understand it, a donkey (ass)
America is of course highly puritanical in certain ways, and completely backward in its usual hysterical response to 'issues' like Arnold Schwarzenegger's recently revealed dalliance and Senator Wiener's wiener. In the latter case I'm not referring so much to this guy's laughable behaviour, but the uproar created when it transpired after the original revelations he exchanged a handful of private messages (of absolutely no questionable content) to a 17 year-old woman who initiated contact with him after seeing him speak at her school. Yeah, you can imagine how that went down here.. things are totally ridiculous in the United States when an adult male (for whatever reasons) cannot receive and send normal text messages with a woman because she's 17 years-old.
the lunatics really are running the asylum, ehehe
