Porn Site Gave Federal Agents Free Rein
Frosty Piss writes "The operators of a notorious porn site Free6.com granted federal agents administrative access to the site, giving investigators the ability to monitor traffic and public and private chats in an effort to identify users trading 'a significant amount of child pornography.' Though some bloggers have speculated about whether law enforcement officials have secretly been given administrative access to sites where users have been known to post child pornography (like 4chan), the Free6.com arrangement is apparently the first such compact to be disclosed by investigators."
I think it's ridiculous that just possessing an image is illegal. Not only this law utterly fails to curb child abuse and child porn (sans fictional drawings!) production, but it also has the hilarious side effect of my tax money going to pay some dude for perusing 4chan. If you tell me you wouldn't want his job, you must be a girl or something.
On one hand, I like porn. On the other, I only like porn where the women are sexy... which means a woman should look like a woman, not a little girl. (I don't care about the guys, but I find the "Jurrasic cock" series to be inspirational... hey, I'm getting older too!) Anyway, I also happen to love children "in the good way" and don't like the thought of them being exploited. So on one hand, I want people exploiting children to get stopped. (punished is another thing... "helped" might be better) On the other hand, the means and method of doing what they do needs to be carefully administrated and managed. I also recognize that the ends do not always justify the means and that once they do it for one purpose, they will find it easier to do it again for another purpose.... and another and another... getting easier each time.
So... damn... I'm just torn.
The vast majority of crap on 4Chan is not worth looking at... whether you're a girl, a boy, or something else entirely.

some people consider an ad for underwear 'a significant amount of child pornography' and our government is more than happy to use that term as an excuse anywhere they can to limit privacy. In this case it probably is accurate. But they also use it to shut down the Christmas Island data sanctuary, snoop on generic internet traffic, argue against apps like TrueCrypt, and on and on. So, I'm against using this argument unless they've done the police work to get a proper court order on a specific target.

I find it hard to believe that throwing someone in jail and ruining their life for having a drawing of Bart Simpson having sex has any beneficial effect. (Here's my citation: http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/08/bart-simpson-child-pornography-and-free-speech/ )

No, they’re not. They’re just pixels. The real children who were filmed have already been hurt and you’re not fixing it. I’m sorry.

By paying for it, you are encouraging them to make more.

free6.com is/was a Swedish site, why would they give any federationalists from Mexico, USA, Argentina or some other foreign country anything at all? If they like to keep their site free of child porn, fine, that's a good thing. But isn't that something that should be done by a) their abuse administrator and/or b) the police in their own country?
Explain to me again how allowing people to download something for free creates a larger black market for the sale of it and encourages the production of more of it... the RIAA and MPAA have been making the exact opposite argument for years now. One of you must be wrong!
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
Yeah, there's a difference. The subsites dedicated to videogames, comics, board games, military, and whatnot are all generally "wholesome" sites. Some more then others, like the origami board. Some definitely less, like the all porny boards.
So is your opinion from actual experience, or are you being lead around by the nose by a talking head on TV?
So if they don't pay for it, it's ok?
We've all learned from the RIAA and MPAA that downloading destroys the industry, so downloading CP should be a good thing.

getting rid of the pictures won't stop pedophilia, of course not. thank you for the red herring
but it will get rid of the demand for creating the pictures, which involves actual sexual abuse of children, sometimes by not even pedophiles, just people who want money
its like arguing with a creationist: you have a piece of ignorance stuck in your craw, and all of the plain evidence in the world to the contrary will not shake your faith
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
That's not a study you fucking dipshit; That's a statistical analysis. Do you you know the difference? One involves actual subjects and controls and things like that; the other is just comparing numbers. Why are you defending this? I know, you like it ! I hope you get ass/mouth raped in prison. A real study would be to create two control groups of pedos after prison (on parole). Half would read kiddie porn and the other half not. See who re-offends more. That's a fucking study. You people are so fucking stupid here sometimes it makes me sick. Just admit that you wanna wack off to little girls/boys and quit trying to sound smart. They specifically train pervs (in prison re-hab)not to get turned on by these images. So I guess letting use em to get all worked up for the real thing is OK then? Because that's how it works, they build up steam for a real life attack. The porn isn't enough and they need to get more. I don't know a solution that works beyond chemical castration and mandatory blood tests.
