it's very easy to place an image within a file without a person knowing it's there but still be accessable. also how many times have you seen a drawing or doujin,etc or stumbled apon one where there was child porn .. atleast once I'm sure. Child Porn doesn't even require people to be in it, it can be a comic depicting it and it's still considered child porn.
most people don't know how to take care of their pc, we don't teach it in schools and it isn't common knowledge.
so I agree with the courts descision even if it is suspect that THAT many images would be on someone's computer unknowingly.
Edit : To prove a point. I went to 4chan within under 3 minutes I scrolled past an image of what was most certainly a nude underaged girl performing a sexual act. I've yet to clear my cache. does this mean that I currently possess child pornography since it is in my cache and should be treated and punished as if I've done some horrible crime? I'd argue that no. but if you think I do then please forward this post to a legal authority because I'm too lazy to clear my cache.
also to be clear.
1. I am against child porn
2. I am against it only when it involves actual people to create it. if it's 3D,photo manipulation to make a normal photo look as if the person is nude, a rendering, story (Basicaly anything other then the real thing)
3. I do not belive that simply viewing it without any intention to do so should ever be a crime. that's just too orwellian for me.
