The paper then proposes a multi-layered' solution for the regulation of pornographic content on the Internet. "
From the Paper
"Pornography has been the most controversial topic arising from the use of the Internet in recent years. Its availability on the Internet has caused fear and a 'moral panic' among the government, law enforcement bodies such as the police, prosecutors and judges together with the media in general. There is no settled definition of pornography in a multi-national environment such as the Internet and cultural, moral and legal variations all around the world make it difficult to define 'pornographic content' in a global society."

Abstract
Virtual child pornography refers to child pornography that does not portray an actual living child. Specifically, this refers to child pornography that is created by computer images. Virtual child pornography is currently considered to be legal, based on the ruling of U.S. District Court judge, Donald W. Molloy, who ruled that illicit images that do not involve actual children in their production or depiction, even when they appear to be child pornography, are protected by the First Amendment. This paper argues that virtual child pornography should be considered illegal, focusing on the protection of children. It discusses the Child Pornography Prevention Act (1996) within the justice system and proposes a solution to the problem.
From the Paper
"An individual drawing or producing computer-images without viewing children in sexually explicit ways is very different than an individual who forces children to act in sexually explicit ways for the purpose of creating pornographic materials. The major problem with the CPPA appears to be that it places these two crimes together. This creates several problems. Firstly, it confuses the issue and does not allow the two impacts of pornographic materials to be considered, namely the effect on the real children involved in production of the materials, and the effect of the material on the pornographic industry. Secondly, it places two crimes with different levels of seriousness as one. This then results in the fear created, with individuals understandably concerned about being labelled child pornographers, when the material has been created for artistic purposes."

Abstract
The paper explores child pornography within the context of finding child pornography, investigating the act and treating it as a criminal offence. The paper shows that child pornography is not specifically pornography, but instead is a form of obscenity and exploitation. A case study of virtual child pornography is included as a brief example of problems faced in identifying and persecuting offenders.
From the Paper
"Child pornography is defined as the practice of creating media for purposes of sexual arousal or pleasure using a person or persons under the age of eighteen (Ferraro & Casey, 2004). All child pornography is by definition non-consensual, as legal statutes prohibit persons under the age of eighteen from agreeing to participate in the creation of pornography; therefore child pornography will always be deemed illegal regardless as to whether the model consented to its making. Indeed, even in scenarios in which the child model misrepresented himself or herself as eighteen years of age or older, the manufacturers of the pornographic media are promoting a crime (Ferraro & Casey, 2004). Child pornography is considered a felony under federal law (Taylor & Quayle, 2003)."

Abstract
This paper addresses this question in terms of both Canadian laws governing child pornography on the Internet, and the role of these laws in terms of wider international legislation and norms in this area. It will be argued that the key problem related to Canadian child pornography legislation and the Internet is not so much a need for stronger laws, but rather the enforcement of those that currently exist.

Abstract
This paper discusses how the Internet has made child pornography easily accessible to pedophiles. The paper explains how this easy access has created an escalation in crimes against children. It assesses what is being done by the law to remedy the problem and explores what role the parents can play in protecting their children from online predators. The paper examines what the warning signs are that a child is being manipulated by someone older in an inappropriate manner online.
From the Paper
"The Internet is no doubt a great resource for education, communication, research, business, and entertainment that has grown at a breakneck pace ever since the debut of the first commercial web browser in 1994. According to one study conducted in December 2004, about 60% of Americans are now connected to the Internet with the average user spending close to 3 hours per day online. (Nie, et al, 2004) The children too have widespread access to the Internet at school and at home. Unfortunately, easy accessibility to the Internet has its downside. It makes the children vulnerable to exploitation by predatory pedophiles lurking in what the US Attorney General, John Ashcroft described as "the dark corners of cyberspace." (Quoted by Magid, 2002) Before the mass advent of the Internet, most child predators stalked their victims in public places such as schoolyards, playgrounds, and shopping malls."

Abstract
This pape looks at what kind of pornographic material in being transmitted via the Internet, and how available and accessible is child pornography to these pedophiles. The author discusses the methods the government, parents and communities have undertaken to protect children from this rapidly increasing sub-culture.
From the Paper
"Since the widespread use of the Internet began, public safety, specifically relating to the safety of children has become a major issue and highly debated topic. The Internet has become an international gateway for child predators to produce and distribute child pornography. It allows these people not only to have limitless boundaries for its promotion, advanced technology for its production, but to be able to form a virtual community, hosting forums, newsgroups and providing vast resources for their fetishes. It is suggested that not only are these sites readily available and easily accessible for public viewing, but are also being protected under legislation. Various methods of exposing and deterring these predators have been created, ranging from anti-child pornography websites to parental control software to new and stricter laws and harsher punishments both for the consumers and creators. It is interesting to examine what is myth and what is truth regarding this phenomenon. Realistically, what kind of pornographic material in being transmitted via the Internet? Why? How available and accessible is child pornography to these ?kiddy pornophiles?"

Abstract
An exploration of child pornography and the Internet. This paper is written from a point of view that supports the April 2002 ruling of the United States Supreme Court. Definitional issues, police entrapment, civil rights and consensual acts of people depicting minors are discussed. Although this paper does not contain any extremely vulgar or obscene material it has the potential of being offensive because of the touchy subject matter.
From the Paper
?Other ideas with the rejection of the child pornography definition is the concept of consensual acts and the idea of digital imaging enhancement to make picture appear as if they are depicting minors. Digitally enhanced child pornography will be addressed later in this paper, but I would like to address my opinions on consensual acts. When most people imagine child pornography they envision a child being raped. I agree with the child pornography stereotype; when I began this research I also envisioned child pornography as a world filled with brutal heinous rapes? Not all cases of child pornography portrayed on the Internet involve child rape scenes. The pornography at hand ?might have been a picture of a seventeen year old in an unrevealing gym suit? but due to social reactions to the word child pornography is visualized as ?an infant being sodomized by a brawny adult? (Chatelle 1996). Child pornography can encompass such things as teens engaging in consensual sexual acts, statutory rape as well as children wearing beach or gym clothes. In a case such as that no one is harmed in the production of the material except the norm views and expectations placed on society? In 1996 Congress ?passed the Child Pornography Prevention Act? which is aimed at the goal of preventing ?the production and distribution of computer generated sexual images of children? (Hatcher et al 1999: 418). Originally this legislation was passed to ensure that even ?the production, distribution, and reception of images? that were altered to resemble images of minors engaging is sexual encounters were criminalized (Hatcher et al 1999: 418). However on April 16th 2002, the Supreme Court ?struck down provisions of a federal law that made it a crime to create or distribute virtual child pornography that used computer images or young adults rather than actual children? (Greenhouse 2002)?.because of media depiction and definitions of child pornography the virtual dilemma will continue as a moral crusade."

Abstract
This paper looks at the similarities between child abuse and pornography and the relationship between them. The author explores the world of pornography and its complex relationship to the world of child abuse. Pornography is discussed in detail investigating its effects and whether it createsa predisposition in certain individuals to commit violent sexual acts.
From the Paper
"Before delving into an analysis of child abuse, child rape, and child pornography, the issue of pornography itself must be examined. Pornography is an extremely muddy issue. Does sexually explicit material have a detrimental effect on the individual? Does access to pornography contribute to misogynistic tendencies and sexism? Or on a more extreme level, does it create a predisposition in certain individuals to commit violent sexual acts? Indeed, even the definition of pornography is somewhat in dispute.
There are two types of material that are often considered pornographic. In the first type, males or females of an appropriate age are depicted in erotic poses. They are presented as equal partners without subjugation or any sign of violence. This first type of pornography is often referred to as erotica. The Playboy or Penthouse magazines would be an excellent example of this type of pornography that has been developed for males. Conversely, Playgirl magazine or one of the many romance/erotica novels available at local bookstores would be the equivalent for women."

From the Paper
"The Internet has enjoyed explosive growth in recent years, as people worldwide go online in search of information, entertainment, and commerce. No business has benefited more from the online craze than purveyors of pornography. The anonymity of using the Internet has made it the medium of choice for consumers of adult material. The pervasiveness of pornography in cyberspace has prompted many American lawmakers to call for limitations or even an outright ban of such material. In this paper, I will argue that any attempts to ban pornography on the Internet are unwise, unworkable, and unconstitutional.
Those who would censor pornography on the Internet cite several reasons. First and foremost, they want to protect children, who will be harmed by continued exposure to pornography at a young age. Proponents of the Communications Decency Act (CDA)..."

Abstract
Pornography has been a topic of heated debate in this country for decades. It is an issue that deals with freedom of speech and what is considered ?decent? by many Americans. Many consider pornography degrading toward women, although many women freely participate in pornographic activities. The Internet poses many problems concerning this issue, with the exploitation of children being at the forefront of many legitimate concerns. This paper examines both sides of the issue and the complications that arise when considering the controversial issue.

From the Paper
"William F. Buckley, in an article published in the National Review, points out that journalist Frank Rich wrote an article that uncovered the huge moneymaking business of pornography. The figures he reported, according to Buckley, ?astonish?. From the article ?$4 billion a year is spent on video pornography, that this sum of money is greater than what is spent on major league baseball? (Buckley). Surprisingly, pornography is a business that outsells professional baseball. Buckley also adds that people rent 700 million porn movies every year and that Americans pay more money for pornography than they do for ?non-adult? movies. In a striking comparison, Buckley says that every year, 400 regular movies are produced and 11,000 porn movies are produced. (Buckley) That was in the early 90s. In his book, Pornography in America: A Reference Handbook, which was published in 2001, Joseph Slade reports that although most Americans won?t admit to participating in pornography, they spend ?somewhere between $8 billion and $10 billion a year on sexual representations of some sort? (Slade 3) In a bizarre comparison, Slade also notes that Americans spend $36 billion on fast food hamburgers. Clearly, these figures indicate that the business of pornography is growing by leaps and bounds."

Politics and Pornography, 2002.
The paper proposes that pornography, by definition, is something that goes counter to society?s standards of what is acceptable, so when it comes to issues of law, pornography cannot be considered in isolation from its greater culture.

Abstract
The paper gives a history of pornography and explains that before the 1800's the purpose of pornography was to criticize individuals in power, using pornographic images as the vehicle. The paper then discusses the regulation of pornography and how the original intention was to protect society from moral corruption by restricting access to it. The paper also discusses the connection of pornography to violence against women and children. The paper demonstrates how community standards have changed.
From the Paper
"Recently, the owner of a video store in conservative Provo, Utah, was put on trial for selling obscene materials because of the sexually oriented videos his store carried The prosecutor assumed that in his community such films met the Miller test, including the requirement that when local ?contemporary adult standards? were applied, these films were not acceptable 4(). While more than 4,000 people signed a petition demanding that the defendant, Larry W. Peterman, be charged and tried, Peterman?s lawyers researched who was renting these films. They found that Peterman had more than 4,000 customers for the videos."
