Lou Gehrig wasn't stoned and Pete Townshend shouldn't be either. A federal district court in the U.S. has ruled that computer generated child porn would be legal. Crime only occurs when people are directly and demonstrably harmed by the actions of another. If the kids on that site were real, then it's a crime to exploit them by operating the site, but I have a real problem with criminalizing the ill people who use it, and nothing but disgust for law enforcement officials who would release what are effectively private medical records to the public for ridicule.
