New Virtual Child Porn ban
The House Judiciary Committee has approved a new "virtual child pornography" bill to replace the old law struck down by the Supreme Court in April. The new bill defines "virtual child porn" more specifically as computer images indistinguishable from actual photographs or movies. According to CNN, the bill also states that "defendants in child-pornography cases would have to prove that the images in question were entirely computer generated and not a depiction of actual events. Most criminal cases in the United States place the burden of proof on prosecutors."
