[0]destinyland writes “The FBI’s geeks admitted they were [1]nervous over
computer-generated images at a recent forensics conference. In court
they’re now arguing that a jury ‘can tell’ if an image is real or
computer-generated — which marks the current boundary between legal and
illegal. But reporter Debbie Nathan argues that [2] that distinction is
getting fuzzy, and that geeks will inevitably make it obsolete.” Note:
some of the linked (computer-generated) images may be disturbing.
