Child Porn is a strict liability crime.
If the law or legal officials declare an image as child porn (which is subjective) then just having it on your computer is enough for a conviction.
"Your honor, our legal process identified one pornographic image on @The_Shadow_of_Intent 's computer. It was a full frontal nude of a thirteen year old boy.
There is no question that this image was on his computer, therefore he is guilty."
Your only defense in this case is to admit that you did have an image of a nude boy, and then argue that it is a) a drawing, and b) not porn.
Under laws like this, the court does not have to accept your arguments.
Remember, this is strict liability. Someone sending this image to your email is sufficient to see you charged.
So, how keen are you to place yourself in this position, fully trusting that the legal process will produce a just result?
Any legal sanction on lolicon should be avoided for the above reasons. I'm speaking to the de facto definition of porn, although I just realized this thread was mostly about the legality of it.
This thread is a discussion of new, proposed laws. About half the respondents are for it.
