The United States Supreme Court today upheld a law aimed at preventing child pornography. The high court, by a ruling of 7-2, said that a provision dealing with "pandering" illicit material does not violate the Bill of Rights.
"...A 2003 federal law made it a crime not only to produce and possess child porn, but also to "pander" material, conveying the belief that material contains minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. The pandering provision covers anyone who 'advertises, promotes, presents, distributes, or solicits' this material..."

Here is the court papers and the case and you can read it.
I have not read the case and the Supreme Court law yet. I will read it all when I get time. I had to study this in college and I enjoyed reading Supreme Court law. I am not saying I would want to do it all the time.
Child porn is a big problem and we need to do something about it. Right now, remember I have not read the decision yet, I think this law is bull-shit.
Child pornography is a crime. They should just go after those people that are doing child porn.
This "pandering" crime scares me.
What is next?
