Ehh, they can burn you on "wire" then. If a prosecutor wants to burn you, they can burn you. Shipped by hardcopy, transmitted over land lines or digitaly through the airwaves there is a statute on the books to stop the transmission of what the government decides it doesn't want. Government does have a responsibility to protect citizens from "threats, both foreign and domestic". It is a problem in deciding when something is a threat. In the US at least, it realy is only the tradition of freedom of thought that protects citizens from too much government control.
Ok, I'm off my my soapbox and taking off my aluminum foil hat... for now.

Actually, animated pornography depicting underage girls is not legal in Canada, the US, or Sweden. As well as many other countries around the world. It's entirely legal in Japan though.

I've seen sites that actually say "All characters portrayed are 18 or older, even if otherwise implied or stated". This makes me want to avoid the site.

Fortunately for the US that's unlikely to hold up when actually pressed. It's only recently that little part of the PROTECT Act has been invoked by itself (the Chris Handley case) despite being around for several years. And when the other parts have been invoked most of it eventually ended up being thrown out as too broad or unconstitutional. Similar types of legislation have been killed in the past as well for the same reasons.
I don't know what is available in Canada or other countries for dealing with the laws that've been put in place there, though.

One thing that I keep coming back to in my mind is a book that is on the NSW cirriculum: Tomorrow When the War Began.
It's a pretty banal book, it's only on the reading list because it was written by an Australian.
However, it does feature students aged 16-20 having sex.
I figure if non-pornographic sex is acceptable by the state government, then I have nothing to fear. Worst case, I share a cell with the dude that wrote the book and I can smash his face in as stress relief.

@cpl_crud - As an Australian who has read the whole series I might point out that a book that deals with teenage themes like that is kind of different from a hentai visual novel set in a school with disabled people. Not that I'm saying there is anything wrong with it, but still its not really a valid comparison.
