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.
