vf1000ride Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Reread the article. They are not saying that New York passed a law making it legal. What the article is saying is that the current law does not provide sufficient wording that causes viewing to be illegal. current New York law, "it is illegal to create, possess, distribute, promote or facilitate child pornography."What they are saying is a ruling against some convicted pervert is getting reversed on appeal because nowhere does it say that viewing falls into the above categories. The scum never downloaded the images so therefore gets off on a loophole in the law and the way technology works. The guy is no less guilty but he payed for a good enough lawyer and just as it is in any part of our society he has payed for his freedom. I am sure that the wording of the current law will be fixed very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolWhip Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 This is what I figured as well. Just like they go after the drug dealers more than the users.Reread the article.

swingset Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 It's a good ruling. Kiddie porn bad, but make sure you're prosecuting someone who knowingly goes after it and knowingly possesses it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 If you Google something and kiddie porn accidently shows up, are you guilty of a crime? You didn't save it but its in your history right? Before someone asks what you'd be Googling for...in grade school in grade school i wss searching online for a report. Don't remember what it was about but next I got a pop up...well we'll just say it was farm related. I understand the premise of this but haven't decided which side of the fence I'm on. It'll come down to application of it. Is 5000 images in a cache an accident? Prob not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Consider this scenario: surfing amateur Web cam porn. You can't know for certain the age of the sluts on those videos, and maybe you click on one and then feel that the girl is underage, so you click away from it. That video is still in your cache. I can see how this law would potentially protect someone from a prison term who obviously doesn't deserve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not advocating child porn, just saying it would be a real shame to go to prison for accidentally seeing a 17 year old titty on a poorly regulated website.
