news laws, when rushed in can claim unexpected victims who get labelled as criminals as this story tells.

Just watching a vido of a child being inapproprietly swung about has landed this guy with charges and a thorough going over from an anti-pedophile squad.

It's already a crime to posess stories about child sex abuse but where will this stop ?..what if someone related a story to you..will it be a crime to hear an abuse story and what if you are shown a video and not told beforehand the subject matter ?
Having watched the video you could now have committed a criminal act with no going back, no way of undoing what has happened.

Surely no-one is against the prevention of child abuse in all forms...sexual, mental, physical or by neglect,but it seems authorities are determined to go as far as they can...

Police defend baby swinging video charge

Queensland Police say it is a crime for anyone to even watch a viral video of a man swinging a baby around a room.
Chris Illingworth, 60, a father of four from Maroochydore, was charged after he posted the video, which he stumbled across on YouTube, on an internet site.
The video, which shows the man swinging the baby by the arms, was broadcast on US television and has been viewed by hundreds of thousands of people online.
Illingworth's home was raided after he posted the clip on Liveleak. He was charged with using the internet to access and publish child-abuse material.
The charge has proven controversial because the baby - reportedly part of a Russian circus family - is shown laughing and smiling at the end of the clip.

Online rights activists and academics say the case has far-reaching implications for individuals sharing content online, as it is now clear they can be held just as liable as traditional publishers.

Online users' lobby group Electronic Frontiers Australia (EFA) has contacted Illingworth to provide him with help in fighting his case.

I had seen this story doing the rounds of the Conspiracy sites. Very shocking.

There is a pattern emerging.

In countries where MURDOCH has many media assets those countries get fed a diet of PAEDO stories to the point where the COURIER paper in Australia is now reporting that parents are trying to stop a housing developmen next to a primary school because PAEDOS might buy top floor flats and identify their next victims using binoculars. ( Seriously !!! )

For instance : Murdoch's SUN is the ONLY newspaper to lead on AL FAYED file being passed to the CPS yesterday.

My question is this : WHY ?

Is MURDOCH a PAEDOPHILE ? who has an unhealthy interest in these stories - because ALL his papers devote huge amounts of energy to publishing paedo scares.

or

Is MURDOCH trying to undermine society by encouraging people to accept his theory that EVERYONE is a PAEDO or TERROR suspect. By doing so his media assets divide society.

It is noticable that in the USA politics has been very divided since Murdoch controlled the press over there - and in the UK his papers CLAIM to choose who is Prime Minister.

I believe that one person should not be allowed to own more than ONE media outlet. It is undemocratic and it has led to this "Fear" agenda undermining society in the USA - UK and Australia.
