(1) produce, distribute, receive and possess child pornography

The only part of the article that gives me pause is the “possess” part. There was an article her a few years ago about a guy in England who was guilty of that regarding his computer hard drive, but it turned out it had been placed there by some malicious malware or some such stuff from an internet site.

I assume that they mean people that either possess hard copies, or that possess soft copies that can be affirmatively attributed to them intentionally acquiring it.

I remember back in the days before YouTube was very popular, downloading a video of a music concert and forgetting about it. I then found it in my download folder around a year later and opened it up. It was actually some old (70’s or 80’s) pr0n film that had been intentionally mislabeled by someone. Needless to say, I deleted it, but not before showing my wife what it was and how it happened, so that all doubt was removed.

Nailing people for what is found on their hard drive is a touchy subject and needs to be done correctly.

Trust me, they don’t arrest you for 1 video. These people download hundreds or thousands of them, categorize them and share them. They go to great lengths to document their crimes.

The best pr0n is 1970s pr0n.

Why?

The crazy hairstyles and, um, lack of trimming.

Pretty humorous by today’s (lack of) standards.

CP possession exceptions:

Three or less images/videos
You deleted them immediately
You reported them to Law Enforcement.

True pedophiles will have hundred, if not thousands, of videos/images.

Back in the mid 90’s, in the early days of spam, i got an email from as account selling child porn. I immediately forwarded it to the FBI. I never heard back from them. I hope they caught the SOB who sent me the email.
