I see your point but why would they be looking at your hard drive anyway.
Hopefully (and I say this with a modicum of trepidation) the law will be applied with a bit if common sense, a few images=could be unknown to the owner, 100's of images=gotcha ya paedo.

It's not about paedophiles, it's relating to stuff like BDSM etc

I heard about this a while back, it's basically an attempt to criminalise possesion of images of consentual acts between adults, even though the acts themselves may not be illegal.

Speaking of canada, you can be slung in prison for having *cartoons* depicting such scenes...

Thought this thread was referring to BC's famous export.

This lot sound like an interesting alternative the political parties over here.
