What is Child Pornography?

[gilliants]

I wanted to post some storyboards online of kids acting out old movie parts and historical scenes, but I'm scared that it might be construed as child pornography... examples that everyone knows: (1) Times Square end of WWII, sailor kissing a woman. (Is this too sexual?) (2) Cowboys and Indians, girl tied to a tree (Is this "sadomasochistic"?) Does anyone know if there is some defintion of child pornography or something that I can find to protect myself. I'm just scared that in this day and age, I could be unwittingly stumbling into a criminal charge. Basically I'd like to know if there is a "line in the sand" and where it is. If anyone knows... thanks!

**A: sounds like you are getting real paranoid but then again that 'fine line' and that sand keeps changing. You have a right to be overly cautious. You are dealing with advocates, activists and State and Federal government. There is the law and then there is the other law.
