The 2003 Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to End the Exploitation of Children Today act (PROTECT - Public Law 108-21), defines computer images that are indistinguishable from real children engaging in sexually explicit conduct as child pornography, while
simple drawings which are easily distinguishable from real children are not considered child pornography.
I found this somewhere, its regarding the Virginia case from long ago.
If this still applies and hasnt been changed, lolicon hentai is alright. What wont be are the 3d types I guess which look real or a realistic sketch of a naked girl
But I found this after as well:
Whorley was convicted under a new federal statute enacted in 2003 that criminalizes the production, distribution, or receipt of, or the possession with intent to distribute obscene drawings, cartoons, sculptures, paintings or any other obscene visual representation of the sexual abuse of children
Does thqat mean merely opening such an image on the internet is already considered as receiving such material and is illegal already, the sexual abuse types?
Look at it this way; most of the Fakkuzites, as well as probably millions of indulgers of internet porn are in the same boat as us, there are alone thousands of Fakku users, and hey, there's even a Fakku facebook group. I think that alone [ALONE] the less extreme hentai stuff (and by extreme I mean genuine loli, guro, really destructive rape) isn't really prosecutable, same with text stories (check-out ASSTR for example). The only instances where it's been used where it was in conjunction with real CP or other such illegal materials (IIRC). So I'm not that worried. I've never touched or seen real CP, and stopped DL'ing unverified torrents a long time ago,I think myself safe.
As for the 3D stuff, well, can you differentiate? Is it still clearly computer-generated/hand drawn? The 'most realistic' 3D hentai I've seen looked like really-well painted figures; still clearly fake.
