What are they talking about?? The easy answer is to do away with pedaphiles and sexual predators, not photographers. |

I guess it is a sign of the times! So I guess it means those photographers who do children portraits may not be able to post samples on their web sites! There must be a different solution...maybe as mesmeraj says? |

| That is totally insane. If the purpose of this is to ban all online kid photos to prevent pedophiles from seeing normal, fully clothed children (oh, the horror), then what's to prevent them from going to a park or beach in person and seeing the same thing? The next logical step will be to require all kids to wear burkhas. |

| Let's ban the root of all evil; cameras and the internet. And any artist able to reproduce people too, I should think. |

What bothers me about all of this is that all this fuss is being made about images that are in no way suggestive or inappropriate. I'm not sure why people care so danged much if an innocent image gets somehow appended to a less-than-innocent website. Wouldn't it make more sense, anyway, to make it illegal to post ANY recognizable image without a signed release? Not that this would be ENFORCEABLE, of course, but neither is the current proposal. I mean, jaysus... What they are saying is you can go ahead and post the images, but if they get pirated to the wrong place YOU get hit with criminal charges? At least that's what I think they're saying...

| It is my sincerest wish that the proposers of these laws are jeered as the idiotic luddites they are. |

Yer! Welcome to our free country! In our country paedophiles are paraded as the animals they are...when one is released from prison they get hounded and the press give details of where they are living everytime they move! But to stop people posting pictures of kids (normal photos) I mean even kids sports photos for god's sakes...isn't this just going way too far?

This is LAZY and dangerous thinking. Lets not bother tracking down and prosecuting the paedophiles, no, lets curtail the lives of normal law abiding citizens. What's next? Parent's being prosecuted for enticing pervs by dressing their children in provacative clothes?
Following on from the 'unbelievable' thread - will you soon need a licence to photograph your child at all? OR will images need to be vetted by the Ministry of Truth?
Why not castrate the peadophiles when they catch them or better still give them longer than six months in jail...
And What message does this send to our children? Your body is such an instrument of filth and debauchary that I can't photograph you and be careful of everyone out their in the world - they and the govt only see you as a sexual object.

Castration wouldn't put an end to pedophilia anyway.

... and I wouldn't be surprised if a number of people were wrongly convicted of pedophilia. (Thinking back to the "repressed memory" craze of the late 80s early 90s and the documentary "Capturing the Friedmans".) |

No but it might help -
" Berlin points to a well-known study conducted in Scandinavia over a 30-year period that demonstrated significant results. Among the more than 900 sex offenders in that country who underwent surgical castration, the recurrence of sexual offenses was less than 3 percent. This is a staggering figure when compared with some American studies showing that as many as 50 percent of sex offenders who are released commit similar crimes again." |

Research into this phenomenon is yielding a potentially beneficial treatment for obesity control. They've found that if they implant a memory of an unpleasant event associated with a particular favorite food, people will subsequently eat less or none of it. |
