That's the problem with the internet and it is only going to grow (in my opinion). I'm not saying that I expect you to know US law. I don't even know all that much Australian law, let alone that from, say, Norway. What I was trying to say is that such things may not only be a matter of custom; certain activities may also actually be illegal. Consider the situation with, as I understand it, street photography in France (if I've read right, you can't take anyone's picture without their explicit permission). Also, as William Robb said, there is a large amount of latitude in the interpretation of some of these laws and for some people all nudity, just about regardless of the circumstance, is pornography. It makes people, justifiably, nervous. Keith McG -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
