You and I may find it distasteful, even reprehensible, but I don't think we should just outright ban that which we find offensive nor punish those that partake.

I think written stories about child porn (and rape, and incest, and other turn-ons for deviants) are fucked up, but I also think the written stories have no real criminal victims, and I also think that banning any written word is wrong and unconstitutional and undemocratic. I wonder to what degree this is attributable to Alberto Gonzales, the president's fairly recent Attorney General appointee. Republican presidents seem to pick the strangest people for Attorney General
I also have to point out that all the articles linked were from Xbiz, a newsletter representing the porn industry. I would like to see articles from other non-involved third party sources before I made up my mind on what I believe to be the facts in each case.
