I'm afraid you overshot the point. If we accept the premise that the disembodied child's face constitutes the child being active in the transgression, thereby permitting the application of the described law, then liability is a logical consequence.
. . . an effigy of the DA, with a photo of his countenance affixed, and burn it, will he then be responsible as accessory for violating fire restrictions?
HTML is about semantic content, not presentation. It is joined at the hip with CSS for presentation through the browser. Print is a form of presentation.
. . . it is that Continentals tend to trust people in white coats, (Stanley Milgram not withstanding), more than those of a Anglo-Saxon heritage do. Given the historical success of British technology, this cultural difference may have long and deep roots in the collective psyche.
The problem is, the corporations can move overseas, too. The traditional approach has been to levy fees on imported products in order to manage equity. But, of course, globalism has largely dismantled that apparatus, to the considerable benefit of global corporations.
. . . breed desperate bluster. Every mismanaged American industry since cotton has sought to play the "jobs" card in an attempt to manipulate legislation. This is a blatant attempt to bleed every last penny out of an obsolete business model. If Microsoft's shareholders are to have any hope, management must change.
. . . where are the reports of sub-catastrophic damage? Certainly, not every hit would be fatal and there should be a body of accident reports for commercial aviation.
Make it so that people can't find the content! That will boost revenues, you bet!
Increasingly, it has become clear that those who manage our industries and government are just plain incompetent, even at feeding their own greed. Who is giving themselves a bonus for this brilliant notion?
. . . they've kept this revelation a secret while they attacked Red Hat on more superficial terms? How convenient. Methinks the Oracloid doth protest too much.
. . . the geniuses at the network should consider gaining market through quality programming, when marketing spin can do all the work. Hey, I've got an idea! The network could start paying bloggers . . .
After a number of years working with government procurement agencies, I have learned the easiest way to generate overwhelming demand for a product or service in the government market; simply tell the government employees that the product/service is "too good for you". Overnight the legions of public sector desktops and servers would be changed over, should this strategy be applied to Linux.
One thing that seems to be left out of this discussion is the perceptions of the students who observed the action. They might provide meaningful insights.
At this point, it sounds like you might need a court order to oblige the student to comply; in that light involving the police might make some sense.
XP is a dead end and nothing will change that. The sunset may have hit rewind a time or two, but the march of time goes on and it was XP's deficiencies that gave legs to desktop Linux and OS X in the first place.
Ironically, the sun is rising on Microsoft competitors just as XP is thrust into kamikaze mode.
Freedom is an abstract for one whose domain stops at his doorstep. His goods come from door-to-door salesmen and little else. This is the metaphorical state of the average computer consumer.
It could easily have escaped your notice, but Linux in general seems to lack much of a paid sales force. How then, is Linux to breach the confines of this prison of the computing masses?
By any damn means available. Failing to fire his musket ball, for debates over its pedigree, leads to a dead revolutionary. If piggybacking on, beside or in nebulous coincidence with enabling proprietary products advances the elements of freedom, it also advances the concepts of freedom.
The broader domain of human freedom has been a work in progress for thousands of years longer than its minor offspring, software freedom. In that light, it would seem disingenuous for anyone owning goods produced in the Peoples' Republic of China to decry software written in Redmond, WA on the basis of such software's impingement on freedom.

Has anyone compared it to the size of the original alarm clocks, the water clocks in European monasteries?

. . . sounds like an open invitation to hot and cold running censorship straight from your ISP's tap.

Are you somehow of the impression that censorship is not undertaken for the gain of the censor?
What we're ultimately talking about is censorship, either by content or volume. I'm having a hard time imagining neutral censorship.
Make it so that people can't find the content! That will boost revenues, you bet!

. . . what if I'm a chronic underachiever?
After all, many question Red Hat's relevance on the desktop.
. . . they've kept this revelation a secret while they attacked Red Hat on more superficial terms? How convenient. Methinks the Oracloid doth protest too much.

Now setting up DEET concessions for the Bill Gates 2009 speaking tour. Act fast, opportunities are limited and on a first-come-first-served basis.
Couldn't they do better security through porn? That would be more fun.

Set the XP box up dual boot and answer the question yourself.
