Computer generated pictures have entered into a really hazy grey area as the technology has advanced. At one time there would've been no difference between a computer generation and an animation or cartoon, but now some of them are insistinguishable (to my eye, anyway) from real life.

Someone a lot smarter than I am once said, "A difference which makes no difference IS no difference", and someone else had a saying about a difference without a distinction. The question really becomes then, should a person creating generations of rapes or murders be held to the same standards as someone who actually films live rapes and murders, or to the standards of someone who makes movies about fictional rapes and murders?

Put that way, it would seem that computer generations are just movies made with non-union labor (he said as he put down his mouse and backed slowly away from his computer).
