House Passes New Online Porn Definition
 

Legislation that aims to provide prosecutors with the tools they need to win convictions against child pornographers passed the House of Representatives as an amendment to the Child Abduction Prevention Act of 2003 (H.R. 1104) Thursday afternoon by a 406-15 vote.

The amendment, sponsored by Rep. Lamar Smith (R.-Tex.), hopes to address last year's Supreme Court decision in Ashhahahahaha v. the Free Speech Coalition that struck down a 1996 law written to combat computer-generated pornography. The Court rejected a Congressional ban on "morphed" or "virtual" child pornography on free speech grounds.
