Not only is humans using animals sexually not BDSM, it's not "fun" either. It's non-consensual abuse. I take the points made about use of the law in this case, but I did baulk at the word "fun". | |||

Makes you wonder what the "PC Repair" person was doing opening movie or image files on the clients computer. I know enough about computers to know whatever the problem you're having with your PC it won't be fixed by snooping around in someones photos or movie files. | |||

You need to assume that PC Repair shops will automatically check the contents of your hard drive. I think there was a post on here a while back stating that some do so as a matter of policy, or even that there is government pressure to do so.

I also wonder if any policy they have has changed to account for this law, or whether they reported the images to the police not being aware of changes in the law?
Of course, Windows by default makes this rather easy - imagine if the images were just in My Pictures, with the View set to Thumbnails. I don't know if they would actively going scanning through all the images. But I agree with Baron_Morgan, it's probably best not to assume they won't. Remember to use encryption Sign the statement against criminalisation of possession "extreme" images. Petition against plans to criminalise sexual cartoons appearing to depict anyone under 18.

"Judge Lomax said he would not have to sign the Sex Offenders Register, concluding: “Hopefully supervision will make you realise that it is possible that by looking at such images, whether it is out of curiosity, can result in a criminal conviction.” I thought the offence was possession, rather than looking. At least that's what Martin Saltmine etc always maintained. | |||

Why do people do it then? o_0
What men in all the world have shown such daring? | |||

Because they can't distinguish between fantasy and reality, they also have no self control or they wouldn't do it as there is no mutual consent at all.

Sounds like they're having fun then... I doubt they're there going "Ahhhh! Oh god this is terrible, I hate this!" and probably more like "Oh yes, this is great!" What men in all the world have shown such daring? |
(Whether or not they might be illegal; if you have personal private photos, do you want them looking even if they're certainly legal?)
