FC> Nope, it's illegal to own it just as much as it is to distribute it.
There you have it then. I though there was a perosnal use clause as there is
(supposedly) for drugs .... myths and legends eh? ;-)

I'd agree with that. With some of these Judges though it's surprising
anything is Pornographic <erm, alledgedly!> ;-))
>> make an arrest or whatever I'm sure it would have been long before 2

Without his support over the years the Atari scene would not be as active as
