It's safe til January the 20-something Oggy...
After then... hmmmm... where are the servers that host the pics? If they're in the UK, then presumably the owners of the servers would be the ones to get in trouble as they'd be the ones in possession of said pics
It's just an extreme example to illustrate how daft and ill-conceived this legislation is, so no need to line up yer brief in preparation just yet...
Even looking at an image in situ can be legally risky, if the computer caches it away in a temporary file that can be construed as downloading. It's a minefield and could make our learned friends very rich (or even richer) with a few test cases
Quality!
*ponders*
I reckon the rubbing itself will be OK, just store it with your rubbings from medieval churches and stuff... just don't take any photos of when you're applying the hot melted wax...?
*cough*
well that's why I got out of the dump they call the UK! Here in Holland almost nothing is illegal lol. You can download films and music from the internet, as long as you don't upload! haha seriously. And nevermind having bad porn pics, you can legally go shopping for a prostitute (not that I would, I'm just saying lol).
Just goes to show what kind of place the UK is, in times like this where we are all in serious crisis - the UK government have nothing better to do clearly.
Oh - and our servers are in the US and Netherlands, so theres no worries for us. We're safe hosting TC's pictures for now.
this country aint a dump! ive never had it so good it's fine by me!! you can stick yer clog's n tulip's where the sun don't shine !your names bin taken an on file at the BNP hq's! [if they make it ilegal to pay fer sex then well yes it's a dump!]
The Government introducing ridiculous laws for the sake of it? You lot must be paranoid....

Tsk tsk... well that's just obvious isn't it?
You don't count yer chickens before they're hatched, right? Wilfully going round disturbing eggs is just plain sabotage!
Hang 'em high, I say!
Where's me pitchfork...
S'pose the intention was to stop people vandalising clutches of wild dodo eggs, but the prospect of being hauled away by PC Plod and his cohorts simply for opening a pack of eggs in Tesco just to see if one is broken is one that somehow fails to frighten me. I might just try it to see what happens. Can I rely on you lot for bail?
