Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
And, at least according to Wikipedia:
Legally, exposing oneself in a public area constitutes no expectation of privacy; moreover, GGW staff members claim they get every flasher to sign a liability waiver.[1] The legal effect of these factors has resulted in a waiver of some women and girls' rights to bring a civil action against GGW. In 2004 in Panama City, Florida, a judge ruled that video footage of females under the age of 18 exposing their breasts without physical or sexual contact is not child pornography.

Child nudity? I think it's the sexual act that makes it porn.

Yeah, sorry about my ?!?, I have this issue with "children getting naked for the sexual gratification of others." Call me nutzo.... t /sarcasm
Anyway... I think the reason all these lawsuits end up not being valid is the theory that you shouldn't get drunk enough that, not only will you do something you wouldn't normally do, but that you'd sign a waiver about it. For instance, if those guys didn't want the image of them being racist twits spreading around, they shouldn't act like that.
signed, feeling like a hardass today

Isn't that amazing? Snap shots of toddlers in bathtubs get parents hauled off by the cops but THAT is somehow not sexual. At least in Florida.
Maybe its just in the context of the "no expectation of privacy"? I have no clue. If underaged boobs had trademarks I might be able to tell you.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I have this issue with "children getting naked for the sexual gratification of others."
I agree with you, however, I wonder if it has to do with the age of sexual consent in any particular state. In Florida, it's 16, if the person they are having teh sex with is under the age of 24. But like I say, I don't know if that has any bearing on the definition of "children" in cases like these.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Would context have to do with it as well? A group of coeds partying on a beach topless who then agree to be filmed is a different case than someone coercing a teenager to take their clothes off.

I Google'd the age of sexual consent for the states. Louisiana don't fuck around when it comes to sex with a child.
LOUISIANA 17
Louisiana law allows prosecutors to seek the death penalty for people convicted of having consensual sex with a person under 12 years old. The Louisiana state Supreme Court declared the law constitutional in 1999 because of a 1977 U.S. Supreme Court ruling addressing the rape of an adult, not a child. The U.S. Supreme Court in 1977 banned the death penalty for raping adult women, but the justices did not say whether it could be applied to child rapists. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the 1999 Louisiana case, allowing the death penalty law to stand.
And a few states make the age higher for homosexual sex.. [link]
