Because the US are a country where “the authorities” can no longer be trusted?

Wait when did Americans start trusting authorities?[/quote]
Lincoln?
New Deal?
Its a perversion that creeps up on you.

Exactly right and a great point.[/quote]
I have a feeling we’ll find out that during this period he requested some pics from a new buddy he made on some fetish forum. But, oops, this online buddy turns out to be a fed.

Positive, because Congress could have simply said “pictures” if they wanted it to be measured as such. They did not.
Let me guess - you haven’t even read the statute.
You live in Austria. No one cares if you have “serious doubts!”.

I have a series of tubez and I am not afraid to use it.[/quote]
Good Lord - sober up.

Yes, I kmow that I win.
You could have conceded that more gracefully though.
I find the whole concept of being able to hunt someone down via their computer fascinating. Could this be the ‘Big Brother’ concept?
My bro-in-law works where a camera is always on him. I find that to be kind of creepy. Scratch your ass and someone’s watching? That creeps me out.
I have never done anything to my knowledge that is illegal. But I’m going to use some of the tools described here to erase a lot of my previous computer usage. Who knows when trolling becomes a Federal crime?

You’d never see the outside of a cell again. But you’d have the honor of being number 1# on the FBI’s most wanted troll list before they caught up with you.
These individuals “open the door” to their computers.
They are definitely looking for CP or “barely legal” images.
When they get caught , they cry foul.
These cases are open and shut cases. In the end, if there are images of CP on your computer, you’re guilty.

It’s an AP article, jackass.
[quote]Of all the sinister things that Internet viruses do, this might be the worst: They can make you an unsuspecting collector of child pornography.
Heinous pictures and videos can be deposited on computers by viruses â?? the malicious programs better known for swiping your credit card numbers. In this twist, it’s your reputation that’s stolen.
Pedophiles can exploit virus-infected PCs to remotely store and view their stash without fear they’ll get caught. Pranksters or someone trying to frame you can tap viruses to make it appear that you surf illegal Web sites.
Whatever the motivation, you get child porn on your computer â?? and might not realize it until police knock at your door.
An Associated Press investigation found cases in which innocent people have been branded as pedophiles after their co-workers or loved ones stumbled upon child porn placed on a PC through a virus. It can cost victims hundreds of thousands of dollars to prove their innocence.[/quote]

Seriously. On limewire, no less.
No offense, but everyone who has ever used that program knows that using limewire for porn is pretty much exclusively for downloading the sick shit. I mean, yeah, you can download regular porn off of it, but there really is a staggering amount of bestiality, child porn, etc. at your fingertips when using that program.
People who watch regular porn use xvideos, pornhub, or at the very least start with Google and work their way around from there. Or use torrents if they want to collect. It’s faster, easier, and you pretty much always get what you click for. Limewire is for people who want illegal content and believe that a p2p program means anonymity - or, at the very least, that the programs they find with their searches are hosted only by people like themselves.
It’s not bad if you want to download a single song in a hurry, though.
But, I was searching for more info on this kid’s situation and read that the FBI plants false hyperlinks on dummy websites and busts people for clicking on them nowadays. So the rocks some people can hide under are becoming fewer and farther between.

Which just goes to show what a stupid law that is.
Its like saying that if you open your door to someone you are automatically “guilty” if he hides a dead hooker in your bathroom.
No, you re not.
Coming from an Austrian, that’s pretty funny.
One of the saddest tellings of our times… we still do not protect children.

So basically talking to people under the age of consent period is illegal? That means if I play any online games I better only join 18+ guilds/clans etc lest I can be arrested?

Medeaval child fuckers simply had no cameras and internet.

Exactly! Next time you tell somebody on WoW “suck my balls!”, you might end up behind bars.
