    Contracts - Rule Against Penalties - Apple and AT&T

    ok, so I want the new iPhone (who doesn't?) reading SMH this morning, i noticed this funny little paragraph: i get how repeat contract-breakers could be 'blacklisted' by AT&T or Apple, but i don't think they could write a penalty clause, at least under Australian contract law, if it is not a...

    'Virtual' child pornography

    can it be argued that 'avatars', cartoon and other animated representation of children are not 'a person who is, or appears to be, a minor engaging in sexual activity'? after all, cartoons are not people.
