Kiddie Porn - The Virus Did It

The New York Times reports on a British man who was accused of downloading child pornography, and who successfully convinced the court that a virus did it. This is at least the second time this has happened. These cases are extremely interesting since they bring together all sorts of issues of computerized agents - who is actually responsible when your computer does something?

    My computer generates links to this homopage without my intervention.

    It does this since I opened an email-attachment from someone who sent me a link to a por ... nevermind.

    Just because most sexual offenders are male ?

    It would seem easy for women to get away with these kinds of media viewing crimes. No one would suspect that the photos/movies of the naked 13 year old girls were actually downloaded by the 13 year old bi-sexual daughter or even just out of curiosity by the 13 year old heterosexual daughter.

    And how likely is the father to publicly accuse his own daughter of a felony which could destroy her life by giving her a criminal record? Many parents would be unwilling to imprison their own children in order to save themselves.

    Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave.
