For instance, we have free speech limitations on promoting violence - and raping little boys, for most, is a form of violence.) If indeed there are laws that say such, or we decide to pass such lawas, and they meet constitutional muster, as decided by the Supreme Court, then I say, use every legal means to stop the promotion of sexual violence against little boys.

Brandenburg v. Ohio - mostly, laws like that don't stand up, according to SCOTUS. It's too bad the Paladin case didn't go all the way - we might have a bit clearer of an idea of what exactly the liabilities of authors and publishers are, legally - I don't think the plaintiffs in Paladin would have been successful, ultimately. But, it didn't, so at least for now, Brandenburg is the guiding case here...

Thanks for the legal info. It does say something dismal and sorrowful about America when we can promote child rape.
