Criminalization of "intentional looking" (Canadian Kiddie Porn Law)
by Aimee Farr 26 Mar '01

26 Mar '01

IMPORTANT NOTICE: BY REPLYING TO THIS TRANSMISSION YOU ARE REPRESENTING THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER.* I know Mr. May brought this up, but the earlier newslink left out some important info. Here is a backgrounder: http://canada.justice.gc.ca/en/news/nr/2001/doc_26058.html - I can't find a link to the actual bill on their site...(???) According to the backgrounder, the kiddie porn elements of the CA Omnibus include/enhance the criminalization of: o luring* o exporting o transmitting "This will make distribution of child pornography from one person to another illegal" (Duh, but I don't know how far this definition extends.) o making available "This applies when someone posts child pornography material on a web site or offers information on where to find it, for example, by providing a web site address" o "intentional" access - (5 years) "Another new provision will prohibit anyone from intentionally accessing child pornography on the Internet. This offence will be punishable by up to five years imprisonment. Accessing offence does not criminalize someone who inadvertently views child pornography on the Internet. The proposed amendment will require the person to have knowledge that there is child pornography on the site and a specific intention to access this material." [FN1] o possession with intent to distribute, etc. o forfeiture provisions o transcontinental provisions ......... 1. Better known as the 'Lot's Wife' regulatory approach to the Internet. ~ Aimee

Traffic
by Steve Schear 26 Mar '01

26 Mar '01

AND THE OSCAR FOR BEST PICTURE ON GOVERNMENT FAILURE GOES TO..." Steven Soderbergh's "Traffic" failed to win last night's Academy Award for Best Picture, but its sobering lessons about the War on Drugs make it Hollywood's most educational offering in years, explains economist Jeffrey Miron, research fellow at The Independent Institute, in an op-ed that appeared in yesterday's San Diego Union-Tribune, New Jersey Record, and the Orange County Register. "Although 'Traffic' did not win the Oscar for Best Picture of the Year, writes Miron, "it deserves the title of Most Important Picture of the Year." "Traffic" does not address all of the drug war's unintended consequences (no film could), but what it does address, it does so brilliantly. "Traffic" Miron argues, shows how drug prohibition causes the violence often attributed to drugs, corrupts government bureaucrats, enriches criminals at expense of the rest of society, and strains relations between races and nations. "Traffic" also shows why many law-enforcement agents come to believe that the drug war cannot be won. Given the drug war's many casualties, the cultural impact of "Traffic" may come to surpass that of two other recent movies that bust the myth of good government, William Gazecki's shocking documentary, "Waco: The Rules of Engagement" (1997) -- which led to more Congressional hearings on the Waco raid -- and Barry Levinson's prescient tragicomedy, "Wag the Dog" (1997) -- whose title has become a catch phrase for presidential slights of hand conducted with military props. If so, then perhaps the United States will begin to wean itself from its destructive addiction to the drug war. (Note: For TV viewers who didn't recognize former White House Drug Czar Barry McCaffrey in the audience at last night's Academy Award ceremonies, McCaffrey was the one wearing egg on his face.)
