If sending a message to one other person with no expectation of it being read by any other parties counts as publication according to these morons, what about uploading a private text file to a cloud service such as DropBox? Even if there is no expectation of anyone else being able to read it, from your analysis it would seem as if this might be counted as 'publication' as well.<br /><br />How can this law possibly be prosecutable? It criminialises so many people it's utter nonsense.Skimblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06448796983432231486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920850427843688264.post-78324048079592837782013-06-21T11:20:11.858-07:002013-06-21T11:20:11.858-07:00So how far-reaching is this?

Do those outside your country need to be concerned?<br /><br />And while I'm commenting anyways - this new law is an absolutely vile, disgusting violation. You cannot outlaw fantasy, and for these people (who -clearly- have no conception whatsoever what they're talking about) to simply decide that there can be no such thing as a "private conversation" through technology is an assault on our basic rights. This judgement needs to be overturned IMMEDIATELY lest anyone take it as an example. People guilty of enacting such bad ideas into law should be held accountable and face criminal consequences.<br /><br />I apologize, but when my conception of what fair trade is in our technological world has been raped like this on an almost daily basis I find it hard to maintain my calm. Oops, I said "rape". Am I going to be arrested now? Come fucking get me. Oops, I said "fucking", guess I'm going away twice as long now...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920850427843688264.post-58071316411734110922013-06-21T04:51:45.465-07:002013-06-21T04:51:45.465-07:00"How about images of female genital mutilatio..."How about images of female genital mutilation? If so, then I’m down with prohibiting that. That’s clearly abusive and non-consensual."<br /><br />Would this also apply to people who might be using the images as part of a campaign against FGM? (I'm not sure what that use would be, but I can see people involved in a lot of campaigning having images as a part of that campaign)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920850427843688264.post-61228529791663873742013-06-21T03:12:09.831-07:002013-06-21T03:12:09.831-07:00Good fucking (sorry is THAT legal?)
