@yourservice 67 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 http://www.norwichbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.d...312/1002/NEWS17 She was using a computer in the classroom when it started spewing up page after page of hardcore porn. She said: “The pop-ups never went away. They were continuous.” She says she went to a website on hair styling and instead got page after page of porn. Ten of the students in the class claim they saw the images. To cut to the chase she was found guilty of allowing minors to view sexual images. She is now awaiting sentencing and can face up to 40 years in prison. Forty years in prison because students got a glimpse of sexual images. Only in America. A defense expert W. Herbert Homer said he did a forensic examination of the computer and claimed that Amero could have been redirected to the porn by malware which allowed the pop-ups. The brains in the prosecutors office responded that she was guilty anyway: “You made the choice to allow this situation to happen as opposed to turning it off.” So because she didn’t pull the plug on the computer was the reason she was guilty. According to the local press the police admitted “there was no search made for adware, which can generate pop-up advertisements...” Why the pop ups? As usual follow the money. Websites pay to have their sites promoted. They pay on the basis of clicks to their sites. Now they want real customers who come to the sites because they are interested in purchasing their services. So they are willing to pay for click throughs to their site. With malware a dishonest outlet can generate click throughs to the porn site that appear to originate from them thus earning them revenue. But the click throughs were imposed on unwilling people -- perhaps even teachers sitting in class! And the more spy-ware on your computer the worse it can get. “When multiple spyware programs interact, they are particularly likely to show sexually-explicit images without a user requesting any such material.” Follow this link for some technical discussions as to how individuals can be dragged into porn pop ups even when it isn’t supposed to happen. It shows how a chain of spyware can redirect viewers and who gets the money. I must keep making this point. We have insecure computers where we can't easily keep control of the content on our computers. We also have a criminal justice system that assumes images on a hard drive are sufficient evidence to send people away to prison for a very long time. This is placing millions of people at risk and justice is being perverted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35471 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Fucking hell, that's serious! I sent one of those things where you open the attachment and a thing pops up telling you that it's emptying your hard drive to this geeky Chinese lad when I worked at PwC. He fucking shat himself, dove under the desk to unplug it, then realised it was a laptop so would work on the battery, leapt back to his feet, flipped his laptop over and wrenched the battery out. Stupid twat lost everything he'd been working on that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way she'd get that, even if people are twats and charge her. The fact she could get 40 years is worrying enough tbh. the facts are: 1 - she made pornography available for view to schoolchildren. 2 - The law allows for up to 40 years in prison How is that worrying? I'm sure the 40 years is increased due to the number and age of the children, but it's the maximum, not the minimum, not the guideline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have been an accident but the fact is that it occured, even if it was through her negligence. I'm a strong opponent of mandatory minimums, but that isn't the case here, it's a statutary maximum that is being quoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 1 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I just thought 40 years was a bit draconian. Half a lifetime? And yes, I realise it's a maximum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
