- Viewing child pornography online isn't a crime, the New York Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday in the case of a college professor whose work computer was found to have stored more than a hundred illegal images in its Web cache.
...
In other words, "the purposeful viewing of child pornography on the internet is now legal in New York," Judge Victoria A. Graffeo wrote in one of two concurring opinions that agreed with the result but not with the majority's reasoning. Strange. |

| If you read the detail of the ruling as quoted at length in that article, the reasoning for this is simply that whomever drafted the legislation did a crappy and/or shortsighted job. Blame the politicians and public servants, not the judges. |
