Rick Falkvinge On Child Porn and Freedom Of the Press

bazorg writes "Rick Falkvinge of the Swedish Pirate Party blogs on the subject of freedom of the press and foresees how users of Google glasses could be charged for possession and distribution of illegal porn. 'Child pornography is a toxic subject, but a very important one that cannot and should not be ignored. This is an attempt to bring the topic to a serious discussion, and explain why possession of child pornography need to be re-legalized in the next ten years.'"

  1. Re:On a philosophical level its just bits by foma84 · · Score: -1, Troll

    You had me interested until "There is no good and evil".
    VERY elaborate troll, good work.

    I hope you don't actually want me to elaborate, since you're so much off on so much levels; I'll just point the most obvious:
    Pedo material (on a computer) are just bits => pedo material on a printed medium is just paper? Oh, have I already mentioned that to have pedo material on your pc someone, somewhere a child has been harassed (at the least), AND someone, somewhere has harassed a child? There is still "no good and evil"?
    2nd: If someone exterminated your family that would be bad, wouldn't it? Still no good and evil? 3rd: Choice. You're ignoring the very root of human nature. "Getting rid of the idea of criminal responsibility" is like removing human nature from human beings. What's left are automata (which is in line with your post)
    Bonus Ponts: "Neuroscience will soon reveal all about the brain" HAHAHA! No. Don't count on it anytime soon ("soon" as in my "grandchildern lifespan"). It actually might be impossibile, but who knows.

    Anyway, a very good troll, cheers.
