And here is what I don't get. When it is considered CP?
Say I'm a father and take a picture of my kid(s) in the bathtub. Or a "coppertone" photo while they are still young. Those are on my PC for storage of those memories. Am I now guilty of CP?
in a sane society no. but people have gone to jail and lost their kids for taking a pic of THEIR own baby breast feeding or toddlers naked in the tub. the law is about engaging in actual or simulated sex acts. a baby breast feeding is not a god damn sex act. God i hate some DA's
CP is illegal to post on 4chan. I've only seen it a couple times and even then it was only there for a few seconds before it was deleted.
I'm all for this ruling, as the above example shows. I wasn't actively seeking it out but I can't control what others post online if I'm on a site like 4chan.
I think the SO laws have gone to an extreme. They are restricted so severely in some places they cant work, live anywhere or do much of anything. And some of the people on those lists were put there for such things as urinating in public because they exposed themselves and an officer saw them urinating!
Yes, that makes for a strong deterent, but these people are out there and they have to reintegrate somehow.
ever seen kids get in a clicking frenzy and wind up in places they shouldn't be?
its why i put on opendns on all my home PC's.
You are now all going to jail for the following clown porn image. Except those of us in NY. :awe:
Misleading thread title. No one is seriously talking about legalizing child porn, the question is simply what the threshold is for it becoming a prosecutable offense. The people who pay for it, or even worse produce it, are still going to get looooong, unpleasant prison sentences if they're caught.
exactly. very misleading thread title.
main thing this does is if someone post "hotchick.pic" in teh "hot babe" thread and its a 6yr old naked. The person who clicked the link won't be charged (adn shouldn't).
people who download tons of it, produce it, sale it etc are still going to get nailed.
..though..100 times?
the difference is, i can hotlink a CP pic in here, you open your thread, image get cached on your comp without realizing it and that sends you to FPMITAP. with the rule change, its only gonna target people that seek out, collect, distribute, which is how it should be. actually, the focus should truly be on the ones exploiting children. the rest is creepy and disgusting, but the real crime is in the creation of the material.
Not really, the main thing this does is someone intentionally searches for child porn on the internet views lots of it intentionally, and just doesn't save any images to their computer then it is legal. Pedos will have a field day with this.
as long as ALL that pedo is doing is looking at the pictures...where is the harm in that?
Uh oh... Prepare for a shitstorm from the lesser intelligent members of the forum for that question...
Im sure there will be some fallout, but if we all just think about it for a minute, I would MUCH rather have a pedo looking at an illegal image than going out and trying to solicit sex from a minor. If all the pedo is really doing is looking, what is the harm? None. If that pedo proceeds to try and lure minors, downloading videos and pics, attempting to create more CP? Then sure, lets book him. But not for simply looking at pictures, that's dumb.
Also a pedo at sometime had to create it.
You mean a child molester.
Obviously he'd be a pedo too, but he'd also have a specific hair color/other irrelevant things.
If someone is in their own home, alone, doing their own thing, not hurting anyone, then I fully support letting them do ANYTHING they want to.

That's the rub. You may be there all alone stroking off to images of a 5 year old getting a train ran on her or him. However, you are then promoting the creation of those images (and more than likely also ripping off those that created them in a sad ironic event).
That's not OK. Thinking otherwise is very disturbing.
