[tor-talk] help us:Korean government started to fine netizen who download child pornography without child

[Lee Whitney]

Eugen do you have children?  Not attacking you based on this but I'm
curious how it affects perspective.

In my mind it's pretty easy to drawn the line, things that have victims
should usually be illegal and things that are unpopular but don't hurt
anyone usually should be legal.  No slippery slope necessary.
