"The purposeful viewing of child pornography on the internet is now legal in New York,"

No you do not, you don't just stumble on Child porn, even if your on 4chan your not going to end up with a cache full of CP.
And I just had an epiphany
This will cause the crack down on the internet, from the out cry of the rest of the country. This will be the reason they will usher in SOPA like Regulation on the internet.
"to protect the children."

There should be some discretion within the law. Under a law that an image in the cache of your computer can be prosecuted, simple accidental exposure could send someone to jail.
Just days before the trial began, defrocked priest Edward Avery of the Philadelphia Archdiocese pleaded guilty to involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and conspiracy to endanger the welfare of a child after admitting that he sexually assaulted the 10-year-old altar boy during the 1998-99 school year. Avery, 69, was sentenced to two-and-a-half to five years.

YES but now they have opened the door as that is the perfect defense for all Pedophiles, It was never on my HDD it was only in the Cache so I wasn't "downloading it"
Image boards are now free and clear for all Pedophiles with this ruling in new york.
There is a middle ground, but these idiot law makers have no clue about the Internet and technology, when was the last time anyone actually downloaded porn to their HDD? its all img boards and streaming now days.
This is BS and its going to end badly, NOT to mention, NEW york just became the destination of choice for Pedophiles everywhere.

Child porn is So abhorrent that this can only be an attempt to in act tougher legislation against the Internet...
This free society idea will be the reason for locking down the internet.
People in the bible belt will hear about this, and than its over, the same reason we got Bush in office will be the reason the internet is locked down.
Ive seen post recently about the liberal fascist agenda, and if so I couldn't see a faster way to inact policy to censor and regulate the Internet than by making it a haven for CP.

no, in fact its the other way...many pedophiles actually commited the act because of watching cp in the internet and the knowing of a community that is on the same side...
