hey don't tell me you never look at porn. besides I'm not refering to anything nasty here.

I guess what I'm trying to asess is whether any government has duristiction over where you surf. the implications are quite far reaching when you consider your political views may also be deemed unsavory by your government.

The FBI knows how to use the telephone and call the RCMP

Be more specific in your post. If you are trying to say you are surfing child pornography in Canada then say so. If you are surfing regular non-illegal pornography then why aask this asinine question.

I must say the replies to this post strike me as slightly hysterical. yes perhaps I should have been less vague (my bad) and no I'm not downloading "child porn" for christ's sake. everyone knows that's illegal so why would I ask?

my question is whether or not you can be prosecuted for surfing sites with morally questionable content. I ask because the internet is rife with 'taboo' subject matter I'm often tempted to check out taboo subjects out of sheer morbid curiosity. i.e. ' seriously? with a horse? with a dead person? really?'

is it too much to ask for a useful reply that doesn't drip with judgemental self affirmation? yes we all hate the kiddie fiddlers. we all crane round to see the car wreck on the side of the road too. I'm hoping we can get past the given truths in this thread so that I can get an idea of how the law works regarding the use of the internet.

once again, sorry for not being clearer from the start.

You can surf away. If everyone surfing porn sites got busted, the internet would only have about 50 people on it left. Ok, if you want to get serious....knock yourself out....

U.S. LAW ONLY.

What is so damn hard to understand about that?

the legal boundries of an individual surfing the web

belize breeze, I am asking a quesion about US law even though I live in canada. hope that's ok with you.

trustknow1, thanks very much for the links. very interesting although they are more related to the laws pertaining to the seziour of your home computer once you have been sighted as a criminal.

I guess what I'm trying to assess is whether any web site could be viewed as criminal to visit.

eg.I once saw footage of an execution of a US soldier which was clearly terrorist propaganda. in the current climate it wouldn't suprise me if it was considered 'unpatriotic' to visit sites containing terrorist propaganda. btw (no evilwizard I'm not a terrorist )

does anyone have a link to a site that outlines/defines the legal boundries of an individual surfing the web?

I'm genuinely determined to get to the bottom of this. I think it's an important issue. thanks for your help.

OK, now this is starting to fall into the same logic catagory I file things like:

"I feel much more like I do now, than I did a little while ago."

"When I grow up, I want to be just like you...only totally different."

"If there is a giant 15' diameter open fan in a grocery store parking lot, and a clinically depressed person walks into it, could that person be charged with attempted suicide?

<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>
No,I have never heard of a list like that...lol

Try a Google search for "Illegal Porn Websites" then narrow your search to ..."Access Warning Page". Then narrow those results using ......*must contain the phrase*...."all visitors will be prosecuted by FBI"

Enter the list into the section of your web browser that blocks your computer access to the sites listed.

Wahhlllaaah, you are now as save as having a "Get out of Jail, Free" card in your wallet.

Good luck with that one.....hope it works out for ya....lol
