4th US Circuit Court once said an image is illegal if it appears to be Child Porn, even if computer-generated and no human being was ever photographed.

It'll be interesting to see how and if this is revisited as deep learning allows for the creation of sexually explicit material that appears to be of

It is not at all clear to me where the line should be drawn here.
