The cast shown has a message board posting where it was made pretty clear the links lead to sex video's involving very underage children. If your going to click on a link offering sex between minors be prepared to suffer the punishments. |
Um... I'll take "Slippery Slopes" for $1000, Alex.
This is entrapment, first of all, which is illegal.
Second of all, it doesn't matter how the site is set up at all. Imagine someone who decides to prank you by sending you a "hey, click this funny video!" link and... bam, there you go. Or an email spammer who embeds an image from that site into an email you open. Oops, now your IP is logged as a visitor.
Or someone hopping onto your wifi and heading over to the site. Or *any number* of things that could lead to this -not- being anyone's attempt to view child porn, but who get to the site through otherwise innocuous methods. What about spyware? The average user will come across dozens of viruses and spyware through regular net browsing. If just one of them calls up a request for an "illegal hyperlink," well, you're apparently guilty as charged.
Please familiarize yourself with a bit of technical info, as well as the text of the document. You'll note that comment was made about Referer information not being stored. In layman's terms, that means that regardless of how you ended up on the site, you were there, and that's all that matters.
It happens all the time on the internet, especially on message boards. You clicked the link above without not really knowing where it was going. Or perhaps you're more cautious than to click
Federal Court Judge rules marijuana possession legal; but many, many folks will click.
The point is, this has the potential to set a horrible precedent, and lead us down a slippery slope. Thankfully, any computer expert with a lick of sense will be able to point out enough flaws to strike this activity down once they get up on the stand.
Not that any of that is relevant -- it's entrapment by definition, and I hope heads roll for it.
