However, that doesn't mean I would want them criminalized for it. In fact, my "anyone possessing a copy" above includes the Government (and third parties such as the Guardian Angels) in the course of a kiddie-porn investigation/prosecution. It's a very hard question.
And yes, people who download Simpson crime scene photos are exploiting (not killing) Nicole and Ron. When I have been shown these photos, I have quickly averted my eyes. This is simple human decency, not to mention respect for the dead.
Yep, criminalize the act, not a photo of it. While it may be impolite to look at photos of Nicole and Ron, we shouldn't criminalize the mere possession of them. -Declan
