The pendulum is swinging such that they are passing bills that make a second incident of molesting a child a death penalty crime. (Oklahoma, and Texas). That and German Prosecutors, who's basic law prohibits virtual representations of sex acts with minors has riled Second Life. (which is an issue as SL seeks to put servers in Europe to better serve r their larger (than the US and Canada) user base, and would therefor be subject to EU law).
Now for all that is said, I don't have a lot of pity for folks that fetishize illegal acts, though. The free spech argument for me fails in the face of the fact that the internet is allowing individuals with problems, to network into virtual communities large enough to feel "normal" rather than seek treatment.
