HR4136 is a bad bill because it states that simply knowingly accessing child pornography on the internet constitutes possession even if the content is not downloaded. This is outrageous. Anyone should be able to look at anything on the internet without fear of prosecution. This law would set a precedent for further laws restricting free access to use of the internet. Child pornography laws should prosecute only those who sell child pornography or who buy child pornography. Where there is no victim, there is no crime. No one should be prosecuted for simply looking at a picture. This is a travesty of justice and a violtion of individual rights.

Who in the world should have right to even look at it Mr. Woods??!!There is a victim. You are sick!

They need to stop the source. Stop the pictures from being put on the internet.. My friends daughter and 4 other cheerleaders were sexually molested by a man it went to court they did nothing to him... how can you convict a hard working person because they thought they were on adult porn and the feds take your life away from you and try to put you away for 5 years when they can't prove that the pic was even a child just a possiblity it could be a child no positive identification. So I think the law should protect kids but it also should have the facts and prove it was a child before you convict someone who has never had any prior convictions no porn no cds no anything. Im so angry because it makes no sense..
