Let's say for instance some knucklehead posted a naked picture of a child on Twitter and before Twitter got around to removing it, it was downloaded by 30,000 people.
Should we ran-sack the homes of 30,000 people and haul them all in for pedophilia and put them all on the pedophile list?
Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? That's just one example of why just 'having' something 'bad' on your own private computer shouldn't be a crime just in itself.
I can give an easy example.
