Court Rules Burning Porn = Making Porn

Posted by Zonk on from the that's-kind-of-a-stretch dept.

An anonymous reader writes "An appeals court has upheld the prosecution of a Michigan man who was charged with production of child pornography after downloading and burning pornographic pictures from the Internet. The pictures were created by a Russian website that the man was not affiliated with in any form. From the court decision (PDF): 'After reviewing the dictionary definition of the word make, the circuit court stated that the bottom line was that, following the mechanical and technical act of burning images onto the CD-Rs, something new was created or made that did not previously exist.' Is this simply a court's overreaction to a scumbag pedophile? And how does this affect the lawsuits by the BSA, RIAA, and MPAA?"

    Is the incidence of AIDS lower or are they just not testing for it so much? It started as a result of drug use, but now it seems to be spreading through sex.
