Since the "object" you are viewing is illegal to produce and legally shouldn't exist at all ( at least where you live ), it is logically extended to the act of viewing.
Well, they are a company and not a government so really arent bound by the rules of 'free speech' or 'censorship'. "review" consists of their customers looking elsewhere for service.
Too bad many have a virtual lock in their market area.
Short version is automotive jobs of the big 3 slowly started heading south after its passing. As the automative market slowly collapsed, the trickle down devastated the component supplier market. ( which is what i was part of by that point, having moved out of the big 3 with the wave of layoffs of the hourly people, trying to stay ahead of the game )
Its all due to NAFTA. Sure it wasn't on day 2, but its killing the US automotive industry ( and i'm sure a few others )
The rules change. The last i heard we are officially at war. ( and unfortunately will be for the foreseeable future ) During war, the federal government could even suspend the entire constitution and declare martial law, if they wanted/dare.
Not that i agree with doing it, but its an option that could make all this 'rights' stuff moot.
Problem is those are all ultra low value added, low pay, low training, and low education level jobs.
I do agree, but i think the discussion was jobs in general in those markets, not just the higher end stuff. I was never claiming they are the *same* jobs.. only that the market will still exist and there will be some work for those that try hard enough to find it..
If we continue to stay 'at war' they will continue to remain safe.
If we somehow create a permanent 'war environment' then they will be safe for an indefinite time, or become the only real job out there. ( think 1984 )

So you are waiting for Freenet i take it?
Oh, i wasn't debating if the law is right or wrong, just how i interpreted it to extend to viewing as well as creating.
Im steering clear of judgments on if i think the law is right or wrong.
"Bad" would be a judgement call, i'm not making that.
Except the picture of an illegal drug ( not all of those were illegal btw ) isn't banned from possession, while the child porn image is banned.
My use of the term "object" here is not the content of the picture, but the actual picture itself. There is a difference.
Its using BT so it must be piracy, right?
If you get fired, just leave some stuff behind that is hard to find, and then report them as you walk out the door.
Thats a nice way to twist the truth a bit and rope in people that use free software to give it a bad impression to the average Joe.

To be fair, people drive to the back-alley porn and buy illegal pornography ( or other things ).
So i guess we should start banning car use on back alleys?

But this has nothing to do with controlling child porn.
And you people still don't see it coming.
FreeBSD and NetBSD also support PowerPC remember.
NetBSD has for a long time now.
How about something a bit more 'personal' priced for those of us that don't have a bottomless corporate pocketbook?
Sorry for the pun but you are comparing apples to oranges.
IBM was/is a far different company than apple, and personally i think if Apple lets this get away from them they are in for a world of hurt.
So what was the problem again?
Sure, until you try to run some windows software and find it doesn't work well, if at all..
Stability.
#2 is to quit with all the licensing nonsence that makes it harder to manage a SMB situation.
I was there, and that is who i blame. Your opinions may vary.
Without entities such as the ACLU there would be no checks and balances and things would get more out of hand.

Be sure you remind them of that as they haul you away as an 'enemy combatant'.
We are at war, and the Feds can do most anything they want to us.
