Hahn said "Certainly if you see something flicker * across your computer monitor, then you are not in possession, but if you * go to the difficulty of downloading...then you're guilty." As you can see, this technical detail totally escapes some people. Continuing: then the Feds raid their place. Naturally, they charge you with possession of child pornography. Let's further say you have some gibberish files which might be encrypted material. The government then says if you don't plead guilty to child porn, then we'll prosecute you for the crypto-crime provision of this bill too. i.e. Cypherpunk Tim May's succinct complaint "It's wrong when I'm a felon under an ever increasing number of laws". Because government will lean on you with it: In the AA BBS case, a company delivering raunchy porn or just nude pictures, the government threat included prosecuting the person's wife too. Just like it could in the private home raid scenario above. Only now with a new club to swing. It was the main reason the husband agreed to plead guilty.
