no. I’m saying FL is like another country, come on on down here and be shocked, but in NYC you (angry liberal) can watch CP. which is a million times worse than weed. I can’t believe I had to explain that…
Make page with 100 images of CP > trick you into clicking link > call cops > you get arrested > “well it was just cached, he made no effort to actually save any images” > congrats you’re not a criminal sex offender!
Assuming they can draw a line between a few bits of CP seen in one hopefully-accidental viewing to some sicko with a couple of bookmarks streaming it as often as he feels inclined to, I don’t see an issue with this.
depends on the state. also i followed a case where the supreme court said that stat rape isnt meant for kids 4 years apart but for adults and children.
Might just be paranoia, but I got this feeling that the judge specifying “purposeful viewing” is going to come back to be a problem.
What constitues “purposeful viewing”? Can I use that as a defense? Your honor, this hoard of CP I have is for “purposeful viewing”, and is therefore legal.
Tell me I’m just paranoid and some pedo won’t actually try this in court.
You’re not paranoid. Like I said - our laws lack the allowance of common sense.
its the court of course someone will try…just the question is will they succeed.
They most definitely will. People have gotten away with far worse because of some stupid loophole, even though they’re guilty as shit.
I understand the decision in the case, people need to understand that making a decision in the heat of the moment can set dangerous precedents. In this instance deciding that cached images amount to possession could implicate individuals who stumble upon child pornography through no fault of their own.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAA.AAAAAA I got a good feelin…
Yes, you’re being paranoid. The only reason “purposeful viewing” is legal is because the act of viewing CP isn’t legally listed as an offense, whether it’s intentional or not.
Possession, however, is definitely listed as an offense. Quoting the judge about the viewing will not get you off for possessing.
Save all your child porn on a cloud, and you are good forever
Hopefully that still counts as possession since (I’m assuming) all cloud accounts have to be registered somehow.
In NJ 4 years apart is legal, but this is America where buttsex is illegal is some states but marrying your cousin is okay. Loli is considered CP too.
Not only will it be possession cuz the person stored it, but also distribution for uploading it onto 3rd party property.
not in all states, since not all of them keep with the whole simulated cp = cp
wich brings to the funny thing that in some states having porn of a women simulating that are underage is considered cp
It makes sense as far as the cache is concerned.
For example, I’ve seen 4chan boards get trolled with child porn. The site doesn’t have a board for it and I’m not looking for it, but just happened across it while I was scrolling down /s or /b. Even though I didn’t click the thumbnail and view the full size image or open a new tab in Firefox, the image is still cached on my HD.
This is probably what the court meant by “Merely viewing Web images of child pornography does not, absent other proof, constitute either possession or procurement within the meaning of our Penal Law”. Even though I didn’t go full size on the thumbnail, I still “viewed” (saw) it.
Even then most thumbnail images that are cached are usually in a resolution that is impossible to fap to without a magnifying glass.
You’re thinking of sodomy most likely, which isn’t just anal sex, under the law.
[LEFT]***"Anal or oral intercourse between human beings, or any sexual relations between a human being and an animal, the act of which may be punishable as a criminal offense.***[/LEFT]
[LEFT]The word sodomy acquired different meanings over time. Under the Common Law, sodomy consisted of anal intercourse. Traditionally courts and statutes referred to it as a “crime against nature” or as copulation “against the order of nature.” In the United States, the term eventually encompassed oral sex as well as anal sex. The crime of sodomy was classified as a felony.[/LEFT]
[LEFT]Because homosexual activity involves anal and oral sex, gay men were the primary target of sodomy laws. Culturally and historically, homosexual activity was seen as unnatural or perverse. The term sodomy refers to the homosexual activities of men in the story of the city of Sodom in the Bible. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah because of their residents’ immorality became a central part of Western attitudes toward forms of non-procreative sexual activity and same-sex relations"[/LEFT]
[LEFT]Anytime you eat your girl out or she gives you head, or people of the same sex do either to each other it’s considered sodomy.[/LEFT]

[LEFT]You filthy, filthy sodomite.[/LEFT]

[LEFT]Sodomy only meaning anal sex was misappropriated years ago in order to specifically target gay men.[/LEFT]

i think the making of child porn should be illegal, but watching it should not. you can’t punish people for doing stuff in the privacy of their own home, that is a gross overstepping of government power.
when a pedo looks at child porn, the video has already been made. not looking at it will not go back in time and prevent the child rape from happening.
TLDR: pedos need help not jail, pederasts need jail.
sadly, this law makes sense. Watching child porn is a vague term. If somebody actively downloads a movie to their pc, or saves pics to their HDD, then fuck em. But shit on your cache? Man, I’ve seen some dodgey ads, and stuff on 4chan. I’d hate to get arrested simply because somebody posted something illegal that my PC happens to load while loading an entire webpage.
And like Fishjie said, they’re technically not hurting anybody. Viewing CP is a hell of a lot different than producing it. Thats like charging people with possession of marijuana the same as people who grow it.
FYI don’t even get me into the stupidity of loli porn or toon porn being considered CP.
Shit like that ALWAYS bugged me. Because the law was once that ANYTHING discussing CP was CP. Writing about it, taking pics or vid of it, drawing it, ANYTHING. Yet you have movies like American Beauty, or the book Needful Things by Stephen King, or Firefly by Piers Anthony, all involving varying degrees of child porn, yet all perfectly legal.
Damn, American law is stupid, 16 is legal here :tup:
