It's still ok if I use oil paints?

I was just thinking, people have been photoshopping people's faces onto nudes forever. This legislation seems misguided.

Not even considering the free speech implications.

At a certain point, a difference in amount becomes a difference in kind. Anyone being able to nudify anyone else is very different from a limited number of people having the skill to nudify people in an application that has numerous other uses.
That kind of sounds like it's ok if the elite do it, but bad if the unwashed masses can do it.
