Follow-Up on Elton's Kid-Porn Pic

Here's Elton John's defense of a picture he owns of naked children.

I think defending something that is illegal in the U.S. by saying that other countries have no problem with it is just silly.

In some countries you legally can have sex with children, buy/use/sell drugs ... so is that a legitimate defense here in the U.S. where we have different laws than those other countries?

I believe Ukraine has different laws than we do regarding child pornography, so if you live here and look at a Web site based in the Ukraine that has kiddie-porn, the site is not breaking U.S. law, but as soon as you hit "save" and put that picture from a computer in Ukraine to a computer in the U.S., you've broken U.S. law.

The whole Elton John issue is still up in the air though, so who knows how it will turn out. Just wanted to get his side of the story on the record.
