I absolutely loathe the entire apologist view of "They never directly harmed a child, they just had 45tb of pictures of children being harmed"
Buying/trading CSAM material IS directly harming children, because your activities are actively creating and furthering a demand for children to be molested and raped, Which very much means your hand is actively causing the harm, whether its directly against the child, or every other activity that creates the market that encourages molestation and rape. everyone participating in it is actively and directly harming children.
I don't disagree.
I was merely stating it as a fact of the case in why he, potentially, only received a light fine and no jail time. That's on the Japanese court system.
The American system is nearly as bad (arguably worse) so long as you are wealthy and/or have political power.
Because yes, everyone involved, both directly and indirectly, create the climate in which exploitation thrives.
i get your argument, but who says they paid for it?
I'm not the person you're talking to, but in today's attention economy-centric society, there are more currencies supporting "content" markets than just money.
hmm yeah ok
No one? I assume you are assuming so due to me using the word market.
While it paying for it certainly exists, there is also trading. He could have easily traded for it.
Besides,the why or what he exchanged for it is irrelevant to the point that he was a fucking pedophile that had a metric fuckton of CSAM.
