Common Sense and the Law

OK I understand that the whole, "I didn't mean to do that honest your honor", is a valid defense when the ole bill are trying to feel one's collar for some questionable online habbits. It has to be, simply because right now with that massive information prime ordeal soup that is the web crica 2006, it can occasionally be said that some stuff just pops up - ON SCREEN.

That can be when you're searching for a crack, for the latest version of Office 2007, hackerish sites are adorned with all sorts of javascript powered banner ads.

Maybe you're searching for a new Mosquito Zapping game or some illicit poker rooms and the banner changes suddenly leading you to unsavoriness sort of sites that peddle peado stuff along side normal porn.

Could be, you are indeed searching out normal all american girl on girl big breasted action (think of the click through I'm gonna get off this puppy) and said girl on girl action has something less than acceptable on the same page, in a fenzied one handed clicking mission you might get the wrong link.

In those cases you really don't deserve to be going down, pardon the pun, for peado stuff. We can discuss the moralities of the above examples themselves later or indeed the morality of all porn / gambling another time.

That is why I'd hope that common sense is applied in all rulings whereas this...


Just smacks of a damn technicality, this dude didn't stumbleupon this vileness, we're not talking

"Oh shit I didn't mean to click that, eww a seven year old, that's horrid and has completely put me off for the rest of week"

NO this schmuck has gone through 370+ of these images that's no accident, and he's gotten off with it because of some smart arse highly paid lawer type with a nice cravat and an Armarni watch, all fired up after his morning Espresso wanted to take the spirit of the law and feed it some vodka and maybe some rohypnol, then take some pictures and place them on a Thai Child Porn ring's site.

Sorry to rant, but it annoys me. We've got old ladies getting cease and desist notices because of the DMCA and this creep walks.

It does link into this other article, also on the reg, about a new law in the UK. The whole "Queen's speech" thing isn't some 80's gay thing, it's just British.

Now I'm not into anything kinky, maybe some whipped cream and strawberries - probably my limit. However I do think it is a bit harsh that two consenting adults who wanna have a bit of rough, whilst not being my thing, can be criminalized in what to all intense and purposes seems like a bit of a knee jerk reaction.

And I must say...
Extreme depictions of such scenarios are no more depraved than graphic horror or war films.

Is a bit far, I never remember Humphrey Bogart saying the immortal words "Of all gin joints in all the towns mistress bitch you stormed in to mine and whipped me in a gimp suit for your pleasure" maybe it is that top shelf version "Castratemyblanca."
