David Finkelhor, a sociologist who directs the Crimes Against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire, sees the moral weight of the law , but not the empirical proof. “The evidence doesn’t yet tell us to what extent the experience of being a pornography victim aggravates the experience of the sexual abuse itself. How do you separate it out?”. What the law says is equivalent to aying voodoo is real. No one has to actually commit a crime they just have a look at an image or have a thought and they are guilty of the crime. A person that observes a digital image that has no form or life then through osmosis gives those images or objects a legal force, a power, is practicing voo-doo. To make things easy judges have allowed government prosecutors use of those unseen images in a computer file that have nor hold no power to communicate in the courtroom. Before long, the people are ensnared by the compulsion to give power to a thing of their own definition.
The last time journalist viewed CP images was when the national program manager for CP Don Huycke allowed them to see the contraband images at the U.S. Customs Service in 1995 and they were underwhelmed. Losing count after fifty photos, they put aside three that could be called pornographic; a couple of shots were of adolescents masturbating, half-dressed twelve-year-old spreading her legs in a position more like a gymnast’s split from a nudist camp photo than split beaver. The rest tended to be like older teens from the 1950's. Child pornography has become a BILLION dollar industry for Law Enforcement through the public, private industry partnership of NCMEC , and an enclave of academics that allege they are going after it. Those that profit from child sexual abuse is NCMEC's multi BILLION dollar Child Abuse Industry consisting of THOUSANDS of ORGANIZATIONS with high paid CEO's and staff which are full of nefarious individuals that must convince both us and their victims that everything is abuse. News media, therapists, prosecutors, judges, lawyers and sex police. Thousands of jobs depend on maximizing claims of abuse.Their paychecks depend on it.
When someone searches on a Peer to Peer (P2P) filesharing software it typically works as follows: initially, the user downloads a software program onto his own computer or Internet-enabled device that permits the individual to share and download files from the P2P network. Upon installation, the software typically creates two folders on the user’s computer by default: an “incomplete” folder, which contains pending downloads, and a “shared” folder, which contains fully downloaded files which are not readily available to the user unless they know how to search for them; until then the file remains hidden to the user in the, "AppData file". Any files downloaded to, or other files placed in, the shared folder are immediately made available for sharing with all other users on the P2P network. When someone searches for lets say the word "teen" they are flooded with images to download: however they don't know if the images are what they asked for and they don't know until they open the file and by then its too late law enforcement software has already pick up the Ip address of the downloader. Then law enforcement goes to a secret FISA court to obtain a search warrant for the IP address.
Thousands are in prison based on those researchers opinions which they now say are wrong and faulty. Tell that to the people behind bars and the family's that were ruined kids left fatherless and in some cases both fatherless and motherless where their children are then trafficked by child services. Who will pay their creditors? Take care of their children? Who will pay as Mortgages are left unpaid along with other debit? The TAXPAYERS will!! The taxpayer burden to house those convicted are between 35 and 45 THOUSAND dollars a year. All this brought about by images and NOTHING more, NO child victim, NO child hurt, NO child was in contact all they did was look at images that in many instances were taken by children themselves. Amy Adler, Associate Professor at the New York University School of Law states, "Everything becomes CP in the eyes of the law, clothed children, coy children, children in settings where children are found, perhaps children themselves become pornographic". IN FACT In REALITY The majority of pedophiles get more sexual gratification from a Sears Catalog than pornography. It is RARE someone records their crime. Numerous legislators and criminal justice officials have in recent years cited defective social science evidence that purports to provide empirically objective support for interrelationships among child pornography consumption, pedophilia, and child molestation; However the empirical evidence cited so often by law enforcement is significantly flawed and or incorrectly interpreted. Therefore the resources that target and severely punish CP consumers is misplaced.
