No that is not the thrust of the argument in any way shape or form. The thrust of the argument is, looking at pictures causes nobody harm! Banning people from looking at pictures and videos is censorship and censorship is bad, especially bad when you censor things just because you don't like the people who look at those things entirely separate of any harm being done to anyone. What is so hard to understand about this that so many of you are having so much trouble to understand the argument?  So you think it should be illegal to take pleasure in seeing innocent people being harmed? And how is it that you don't think that this is being the fucking thought police? Yes, which is great reason for keeping production of CP illegal, but a great example of why it doesn't matter if ten thousand or zero people look at images that have been uploaded to the internet. There is always the possibility that images are being viewed and that is all that matters to any potential victim, they don't know or give a fuck about the monthly bandwidth of freedom hosting. Okay, first of all her father was an enormous asshole. I feel very sorry for her. Secondly, she makes a lot of money every time someone is caught with one of the videos her father took because there are laws that children in CP found on the PC of people arrested are entitled to financial compensation from those people. She is the poster child (poor use of the word maybe?) for using the legal system to collect large amounts of compensation from the people who view the CP she is in. And I am pretty okay with this! I mean, in general I am against copyright law etc, but it is an issue I am somewhat undecided on. I can by some stretch of the imagination see the CP that she is in as being her property, and see that she has the right to restrict access to it as she sees fit and sue people for copyright infringement. That is not anywhere near as absurd as SENDING PEOPLE TO PRISON FOR LOOKING AT PICTURES. CP as a civil matter you can argue to me and have a chance of convincing me, although this largely applies to copyright in general. Convincing me that people should go to prison (ie: criminal , not civil) for looking at pictures will not even happen after hell freezes over. Well if she doesn't want to be informed every time someone downloads her images / videos I guess she could stop requesting to know about every case where they are found so that she can get compensation from everyone arrested with them. So being given the choice between knowing how popular the videos her father took are and getting court ordered compensation from everyone caught with them, she opted for the later choice. I have no doubt she is not happy about what happened and all the money in the world is not worth it to her, and I really don't mean to sound even at all cold towards her, but it is a crock of shit that people viewing images are hurting her. She knows every time someone is arrested with her CP because they are made to pay compensation to her
