I think the question is: "What is child pornography."

Overview of New York Child Pornography Laws Article 263 of the New York Penal Code prohibits offenses stemming from a sexual performance by a child, including the production, promotion, distribution, and knowing possession of such content. The law defines "sexual performance" as any performance or part thereof which includes actual or simulated sexual conduct by a child less than 16 years old, or in some cases, less than 17 years old. A person is guilty of the use of a child in a sexual performance when, knowing the character and content of the performance, he or she authorizes or induces a child less than 17 years old to engage in a sexual performance, or consents to the child's participation therein. Promoting a sexual performance by a child is a separate crime which requires that a person, knowing the character and content of a performance containing sexual conduct by a child less than 17 years old, produces, directs, or promotes the same. Possession of a Sexual Performance by a Child New York also criminalizes the possession of a sexual performance by a child. A person is guilty of this offense when, knowing the character and content thereof, he or she knowingly possesses or controls any performance which includes sexual conduct by a child less than 16 years old. For purposes of the promotion and possession offenses, "performance" means any play, motion picture, photograph, dance, or other visual representation exhibited before an audience.
