Microsoft Tip Leads To Child Porn Arrest In Pennsylvania
Shades of the recent arrest based on child porn images flagged by Google in an email, mrspoonsi writes A tip-off from Microsoft has led to the arrest of a man in Pennsylvania who has been charged with receiving and sharing child abuse images. It flagged the matter after discovering that an image involving a young girl had been allegedly saved to the man's OneDrive cloud storage account. According to court documents, the man was subsequently detected trying to send two illegal pictures via one of Microsoft's live.com email accounts. Police arrested him on 31 July.
Hey, pedophiles have serious mental issues and deserve a special place in prison . The people who take the pictures are a special kind of vile, and the people who distribute this stuff enable the takers. and the nut cases that pay for it have a SERIOUS problem and need help and monitoring of their sickness. In most states it is *required* that you report the existence of any of this kind of stuff because of the harm that is caused to the children.
So in this case, it IS for the children and it's hard to argue with the logic.

Great, so you agree that closed source is a better solution, since "viewing source code" is really irrelevant to its value, and doesn't encourage production of more. Right?
Or is it possible that a bunch of assholes like the rush they get out of showing a bunch of other assholes their "work," and the accolades, acceptance, and encouraging feedback they get from the other assholes actually fuels their desire to make more, so they can experience the rush of social acceptance and being an "important" member of the subculture they're part of?
Viewing *encourages* production for exactly the same reason that children will continue doing something obnoxious when they realize it's producing a response in someone else.
