Saturday January 30 3:36 AM ET Court Upholds Child Porn Law By DAVID SHARP Associated Press Writer PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - An appeals court has upheld a federal law that makes it illegal to possess computer images of children engaging in sex, regardless of whether the images show a real child or an altered image. U.S. Attorney Jay McCloskey said Friday it's the first time an appeals court has ruled on the validity of the Child Pornography Protection Act of 1996. ''We term it a landmark decision that brings our federal child pornography laws into the computer age,'' said federal prosecutor Mark Terison. The law targets computer technology that can be used to alter an innocent picture of a child into a picture of a child engaged in a sexually explicit act. The decision, made Wednesday by the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals, overturned a lower court ruling that had declared the law unconstitutionally vague. The appeals court said the statute is not so vague that a consumer could not understand what type of pornography is illegal. Because of the ruling, McCloskey said his office would pursue charges against David Hilton, 48, of Norway, Maine, who was charged with possession of child pornography. Hilton characterized himself as an anti-pornography crusader and met with FBI and customs officials on a number of occasions to discuss material that was sent to him via the Internet. But federal officials began to suspect Hilton's motives were less pure. He continued to collect the material despite warnings that it was illegal to do so, prosecutors said. Hilton said Friday that he was not aware of the ruling. ''I'm still going to fight it,'' he said. ''There's a lot to this that hasn't been made public. The fact of the matter is I'm not guilty of what they're saying.'' Earlier Stories Maine Court Upholds Child Porn Law (January 29)

>>>Frank, what do you know about Symantec, have they been looking at Nanny? <<< Can't say for sure but looks like a product I think Symantec may be interested in and including it with some of their products. I think this is very possible. If not them, look for someone else. If you recall, Delrina was bought off from Symantec. For the Symantec, Net Nanny be cheap to buy. I have started to accumulate today and will continue this week. I don't like to jump in with a big order due to the weak current volume. The next target is to break $1.55 before she sees $2.00. My comment re $2.00 is a 12month target or earlier if a takeover rumor kicks in. regards Fast Frank
