Not really.
Think about is this way....the purpose of this law is "supposed" to be to prevent minors from being used in pornography.
If you have a minor being used in a porn film, but then you blur out the explicit parts, was that minor still being exploited? Does the government still have a compelling interest to protect that minor?
Or does it not matter since you simply blurred out or cropped off the explicit parts?
I agree that this entire statutory and regulatory scheme is fucked up in many ways, but this one part actually does make sense when you look at it the way I described above.
Alot of people just don't like it because it fucks up the whole thumb TGP business model.
