    -This is correct.  No one is challenging either A (real children) or C (use of
    image of a real child being made to appear as if engaged in sexual conduct) for
    the very good reason that both are in all likelihood constitutional. -E.

    You are correct.
    
    A has been illegal for decades and was unchanged.
    
    B,C, and D were the new elements.
    
    Only B and D were challenged.

    Declan:
    
    This sounds like a slippery slope to me.  As computer graphics become more 
    real, how are we to distinguish in future what is real or computer generated?
