> virtual child pornography which is not obscene

Does it surprise anyone else that this is a legal possibility?

I get a little twitchy anytime we have laws based on something like obscenity, which is by definition a moral judgement.
It isn't possible, it's a fig leaf to avoid the law being ruled unconstitutional, but doesn't change the law itself.
