Comments on: Is Virtual Child Porn Protected Speech? http://www.briancuban.com/is-virtual-child-porn-protected-speech/ Brian Cuban's version of TRUTH, JUSTICE and the UN-AMERICAN WAY Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:43:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: @berstreet http://www.briancuban.com/is-virtual-child-porn-protected-speech/comment-page-1/#comment-14076 @berstreet Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:53:14 +0000 http://www.briancuban.com/?p=366#comment-14076 Unreal. I guess it never occurred to me that there was VIRTUAL child porn. I understand that "art" is protected by free speech, but at what point does the "art" become just a veil behind which the pedophilia sickness can manifest itself and possibly become stronger? I see where it could be considered an outlet for a pedophile, but the flip side of this is that maybe it feeds the fetish and could cause them to seek out more contact with real children. Unreal.

However I am a fervent supporter of our freedoms and the Supreme Court has decided to take a very wide perspective in allowing virtual child porn. Personally, I will neither confirm nor deny my enjoyment. I only know that allowing any of our freedoms to be taken away will very soon land us in Orwell's "1984".

Art is Art but it's the message they want to convey through that Art is the one the law should be based upon for a step to be taken to curb child pornography. If a pedophile gets turned on by any kind of naked images of children or babies, do we need to ban centuries-old paintings and sculptures from display as well? Those are work of Art NOT meant to convey any sexual message but virtual simulation of sex acts in CGI with virtual "child" actors is certainly meant to convey sexual messages. When this has been carefully defined, then we can draw a line between pornography and free speech. Technically, virtual means not involving real children making it a non-crime.

Compare it to any other virtual crime - guns - killing - raping - all legal as long as it's virtual. I agree with the Supreme Court on this one even though the thought of allowing virtual child porn shocks the concious. If it’s virtual then no children are being harmed.
