If the kids are working for Gap or something legitimate, it's fine. If they're only selling pictures of themselves or videotapes of themselves, it's illegal.

But then you get Abercrombie's catalog of nudes "selling" sweaters and fashion accessories, sold for "legitimate" purposes, using the same kids as models. There's virtually no way to make the distinction, and the attempt almost always results in unintended consequences.

Besides, the kids aren't the ones who created the website linked in post #9. No nudes (which they very prominently post), and some rather normal photos that look like the shots anyone might have in their photo albums. I'll post an example and pray I don't get banned:

If THAT is illegal to own or view, then MTV Spring break is in BIG trouble. ;^)

How about this abercrombie photo:

Certainly this young woman is very attractive, but the way this is posed is clearly intended to sell clothes by selling sex. Abercrombie has gotten in trouble in the past for its sometimes-almost erotic imagery. This picture is nothing compared to what they have gotten people in an uproar over before.
