PA I broadly defined "terrorism" as the breaking of any federal or state law. Internet porn, no matter how tame, breaks the decency laws of some conservative midwestern state somewhere...

Right now you are protected by the Frist Amendment. A few webmasters have gone to jail for "obscenity" on trumped up charges but by and large the First Ammendment protects all porno webbies from across-the-board prosecution. It is really the only thing standing between you and the justice dept.

Once PAII becomes the law of the land, the First Amendment will be trumped by the clauses inherent in this piece of "legislation". Then, the only thing that will stand between you and the justice dept. will be a wing a prayer. Good luck!

So if you define your freedom to post sexual pictures on the net as a "right". which the supreme court has pretty much agreed is a First Ammendment right. Then, to specifically answer your question, that is the right you are at serious risk of losing, amongst many others. Read the acts.
