I don’t want to seem like a monster, but I do have to take issue with this article in which a student was arrested for posession of child pornography….
A resident assistant said another student was looking around their network for music files and stumbled across the child pornogrpahy, told the RA and the RA called the cops.
This student that was looking for music files (and we’ll assume that’s true — though it’s very likely that the student was looking for pornography — the directory was undoubtedly labeled “PORN” and .jpg files are very different from .mp3 files….) was about to commit a crime anyway. Here’s a kid snooping through shared directories for ripped music, telling on someone for something they’re doing wrong.
(YES, I know child pornography is a MUCH worse crime than stealing music. It’s despicable and disgusting….. The point is….well, the point is that you can figure out the real circumstances, and see that the whole story is kind of a big crock…..)
The Daily Evergreen is a bastion of good journalism. Just take a look at this article and you can see what I mean….
