Uhh, possession of CP is a crime, and I think the Zapruder film is in public domain.

I think he was trying to argue that masturbating to photos of children being raped has a significant historical value. I can't wait to read THAT textbook.

Masturbating to child pornography is pretty gross. However, given the limited amount of funding we are willing to provide to law enforcement, shouldn't we be encouraging them to focus on slightly more important issues?

Maybe they were photos of Winston Churchill as a child?

Just out of curiosity, is there any reason the technicians had to start up the computer in the first place? If he was just getting a hard drive replaced, that has to be done with the computer off. And it should have been finished right there in the store in front of him.

...technicians found a pornographic picture of a young boy as the desktop background of the device.



"I'm out of here."

In this day and age, with all the publicity these cases get, some idiot still sends his computer in for service. With illegal stuff on it. He deserves to go to PMITA prison for stupidity alone. Still, the blackmail option is a good one.

Hello Mr. Smith? Yes about that computer you brought in for repair today. It would be a shame if the date was rolled back, CP was loaded onto it, then the date was reset and someone called the police, now wouldn't it. Let us discuss exactly how much this repair bill is going to come to, shall we?

The usual for any computer tech work.

Now you tell me

Correct, it should be off when installed, but I think it would be a lot of trouble if technicians decided to start installing harddrives and making people pay for it without first checking to make sure that the harddrive was installed correctly and that information can be accessed and retrieved without problems first.

Okay, I'm not defending this dumbass but we don't really know what sort of "child pornography" was on his computer. It could have been simply a picture of a naked boy which, while a bit creepy, doesn't mean the guy was a rapist. Maybe he just likes jerking it to pictures of naked boys in which case it is thought crime.

Obviously, the law is broad enough to include almost any image of a child, clothed or not, as "child pornography" depending on the intention of the possessor. If the FBI finds pictures of the little neighbor girl in her bathing suit on some guy's hard drive, taken with the full knowledge and approval of her parents, and the FBI decides they think he's a perve, then off to court he goes and his life is effectively ruined even if he's tried and acquitted.

/not saying I have any pictures of the neighbor girl or anything

Jeff Paine: Just out of curiosity, is there any reason the technicians had to start up the computer in the first place? If he was just getting a hard drive replaced, that has to be done with the computer off. And it should have been finished right there in the store in front of him.

"new hard drive installed" could have meant they were adding a second one, in which case any responsible technician would want to get into windows and make sure the drive was recognized and accessible.

Or if they were replacing the one he already had, they could have needed to get on and backup his data. Sure, in a lot of cases that could be done by just dumping the whole drive, but if he used windows' built in file system encryption (and they were putting a fresh windows install on the new drive) they would have to decrypt the files before transferring. Of course there's really not much point in encrypting your drive if you intend to (1) give out the password or (2) leave kiddie porn readily displayed on the desktop.

To give the computer one more chance. Just...one...more...chance...but you couldn't pony up, could you, Dell Laptop Model 939. No you had to be the big man. We're done asking you for the code. We're going to take it right out of your plastic shell.

Sorry, that was directed at Rootus. Getting back on the short bus now.

How freaking hard is it to just replace your laptop HD? I mean, it's even easier than a desktop thanks to the HD caddy: just remove the external plastic cover, pull out the old HD, put in the new one, put the cover back on, and reinstall the OS using the restore disk. I buy broken Toshiba laptops on eBay, swap out the parts and re-sell them in running condition - this guy has to be a dumb-a$$ not to know how to work on his computer.

Still, I'm glad the (alleged) kiddie raper got caught. He's old, stupid and slow, he'll be dealt with fast in the Pen.

No worries sir

It's not (in a perfect world) the masturbation to child porn, or the wanting a naked child that is illegal. It is the support of pictures of children forced (at that age you can't legally say you are cool) to be photographed naked.

Masturbate to anime child porn all you want. I don't think rational people have a legal problem with that. But when you support sites that make a living off of abusing children that is as Sonic would say NO GOOD

What kind of monster can't put in a new hard drive? Rot in hell you stupid fark.

Hahahahaha! I hope they never find a cure for stupidity!

It could be argued that even posing nude does psychological damage to a kid.

As for the pictures of the neighbor's daughter... Unfortunately, our only viable options when defining something as pornographic are "I know it when I see it" or "nothing is pornographic". Would be nice if we had some objective definition, but we don't. I think Japan is responsible for that.

It's the perfect crime. Even if the person is never found guilty, society will label them as a child porn lover.

TROLL IN DISGUISE!!!!!!

/Kill it before it breeds!!!!

/just a little reminder.

FTA: Technicians also located several files they suspected contained child pornography

Suspected? Either it did or it didn't. Didn't they open the files and check to be sure before they alerted the authorities?

Hey at least it wasn't furries!

Here is something funny. A convicted child molester lives in my town. He is old now, and was young when he was convicted. But for some reason he drives all over town on a lawn mower collecting cans. I will not give his name because I have never found his name on the official web site of convicted kid rapers, but every one else says they've seen him on it.
Here the funny part I promised you. He lives ACROSS THE STREET from the ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PLAYGROUND!!!! All the kids say he is a nice old guy! Creepy bit to boot- he gives kids ride in the wagon!
I have no evidence he is or isn't a child molester now, but he was convicted in the eighties.

If someone collects crime-scene photos, they are not "supporting" crime, nor are they making more people to commit crimes.

A collection of suicide photos makes you a sick fark, and you may very well be wrong in the head, but it isn't encouraging more people to jump off buildings.

MoreCowbell!: pics.


heh. just kidding fbi

Not to defend any person with CP on their machine, but a VP at my company brought his PC in to CompUSA to get it worked on (yeah, i told him not to do that again).

His wallpaper was a pic of his 1 year old son, nekkid, standing in front of the bathtub with his back to the camera. The shiatheads at CompUSA tried to scare him by telling him it was child porn.

I'm hoping the guy in the TFA didn't get busted for something similar.

/CompUSA techs picked the wrong guy to try to scare. He uncorked on 'em and was yelling "YOU WANNA CALL THE COPS? TELL YOU WHAT, HERE'S MY F*CKING PHONE! WANT ME TO DIAL 911 FOR YOU? I F*CKING DARE YOU.
