Canadian Charges Against US Manga Reader Dropped
tverbeek writes "The U.S.-based Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and the Canada-based Comic Legends Legal Defense Fund have announced that the Canadian government has withdrawn all criminal charges in R. v. Matheson, a case which involved a U.S. citizen who was arrested and faced criminal charges in Canada relating to manga found on his computer when he entered the country. Customs agents declared the illustrations of fictional characters to be 'child pornography.' The defendant, a 27-year-old comic book reader, amateur artist, and computer programmer, has been cleared of any criminal wrongdoing. Despite financial assistance from the CBLDF and CLLDF, he has an outstanding debt of $45K for his defense."
Not often a donator but donated 25 dollar. I was going to write a rather insulting post of Americans and Canadians in general but... there just isn't enough bile in the world. Improve the world, kill a Canadian. And don't moan about not all Canadians being like this, you voted for these turds and haven't voted them out.

You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.
Man, there is a free advise for you: Before saying anything stupid, first go, open the dictionary/treasure, check the meaning of the word, its history, its translation, its description, and then open your mouth.
