Not in the US, but in Canada and many European countries, I believe it's illegal.

> We cannot be at a point as humanity where text is illegal. Right?

Even in the US, much text is illegal in certain contexts. Think false advertising, written plausible threats, etc.

Well the difference is that the text is not illegal in those contexts. False advertising is. Fraud is. Threatening people is. But just simply having a leaflet with false advert printed on it isn't. It's not a crime to have it. With CP just possession is illegal, but I really don't believe that a written book would be illegal in itself? I can't find any examples of someone being sentenced for writing a book, outside of regimes where the book was critiquing the party etc.....
