Is child porn bad? No question.

But there is a huge grey area. Someone posts pictures of them giving their baby a bath on their blog or personal site. I wouldn't consider that child porn, but a pedophile might. Where do you draw the line?

And really, it won't do anything but impost restrictions on honest people. If this is aimed at child porn, the kiddie porn scum will just set up their sites someplace that doesn't have restrictions. The only thing a Bill like this will do is create more beaurocracy, provide more restrictions on private citizens, and do very little in addressing the issue it proposes tackling.
