21. Stories could only be considered illegal under obscenity law.
Illegal child porn, by definition, has to involve images of actual children; so said the Rhenquist court, anyway. But when the state decides for us that certain kinds of writing are obscene and therefore illegal to publish or possess, we're mere hours away from burning everything from Nabokov to Lawrence to Maupin.
