Is the book Lolita illegal? How about Romeo
and Juliet?

Words don't violate the statute. Only images.

So, of course, you argue that the picture file is just words and numbers just like Lolita, and they have to be converted into a picture, which in the case of a .gif file is by a computer program and the Lolita book is by mental imaging, but what's the difference?
