Tood, I'd be sweating just a little if I were you. The Justice
Department has just published a release which is partially quoted
below. Notice that one of the counts upon which Whorley was
*convicted* was the possession of anime cartoons which depicted
children engaged in sex acts.

Those cartoons are identical to what you are making available to the
public with your own home-hosted web board. Sweat, Tood, sweat ...

"RICHMOND, Va., March 10 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Dwight Whorley, 52, of
Richmond, Virginia has been sentenced to 240 months imprisonment on
child pornography charges, Acting Deputy Attorney General and United
States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Paul J. McNulty
and Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division Alice S.
Fisher today announced.

"Whorley was convicted on November 30, 2005, after a four-day jury
trial, of using a public computer at a Virginia Employment Commission
("VEC") office on March 30, 2004, to receive 20 obscene Japanese anime
cartoons that graphically depicted prepubescent female children being
forced to engage in sexual intercourse with adult males. Whorley was
convicted under a new federal statute enacted in 2003 that
criminalizes the production, distribution, or receipt of, or the
possession with intent to distribute obscene drawings, cartoons,
sculptures, paintings or any other obscene visual representation of
the sexual abuse of children. Whorley's conviction for receiving
cartoons is the first conviction under the statute that was not based
on actual photographs of children. ..."
