I posted a link to the Supreme Court ruling that virtual porn passes Constitutional muster and you respond with the fact that the DOJ ignores Supreme Court rulings.
Good job.
You posted a link to the Supreme Court ruling that had no relevance to the case you linked to. There were actual childrens pictures in the pornography the guy had. Did you read your own link?

The DoJ and the SCOTUS agree.

What bothers you about this? I dont see where the DOJ ignored the SCOTUS. Can you point it out for me?While there was no evidence Hotaling distributed the images, the unanimous three-judge panel said the pictures showed the faces of six identifiable girls, who were at risk of damage to their reputations and psychological harm from knowing their images were exploited by a trusted adult.
There were no children in the photos, their were faces of teenagers. The logic behind the decision is ridiculous, nothing in the law protects people from harm to their reputation before it occurs, nor is it a criminal act to harm someone's reputation.
Give it a rest Quantum and admit you misread the link you posted. The article cleary states the girls were underage. Its against the law to possess child pornography. End of discussion.

His computer was seized, and it showed the altered images with the faces of underage girls from pictures taken with his digital camera, according to the original criminal complaint.
