Three reasons

2012-09-09 19:59:23.251602+00 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Well worth a read: Rick Falkvinge: Three reasons child porn must be re-legalized the coming decade. Talks about some of the absurdities:

In Sweden, ECPAT has pushed through laws that make you a jailable criminal for possessing images of yourself from before your 18th birthday. Can we have a show of hands to see how many think this makes any kind of sense? That this would catch any child molesters?

But also about the fact that the strict liability rules on possession of child pornography means that the right thing to do is to delete evidence of the crime rather than hope that some prosecutor won't pursue you.
