it like going after you guys for selling porn to minors when little ohnny steals his fathers credit card and uses it to signup for the site.

would you support extending the law to that extreme

how about whenn your perfectly legal porn is superimposed on the picture of a preteen to make virtual kiddie porn, should you be held liable for assisting


the copyright laws require a "wilful" aspect for the liability
and the copyright act has this thing called fair use that turns what would otherwise be illegal into perfectly legal actions.

you can't get away with extending the law in that way without stomping all over those rights.
