Virtual porn depicting virtual minors, not virtual porn altogether. I'm pretty sure that falls under child pornography laws in general, though obviously isn't nearly as strictly enforced

I should have been more specific.  Virtual porn, even that depicting minors, is not illegal per se  in the US unless the porn violates the Miller Test, which is difficult to do.  This issue was "settled" in the 2002 Supreme Court case Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition.

huh. Now that i was unaware of, thanks.

EDIT: actually helps me quite a bit, because of this paper i have written for work where i (apparently) incorrectly attested to the illegality of these materials in the United States

 

but then why did this guy get arrested?
