    Acceptance? Not at all. But let's be realistic. As long as there are cameras and any degree of personal freedom, there will be child porn - if even one image. That's not to say I won't turn in someone as soon as I become aware of what they are doing. I won't tolerate it, but at the same time I won't trample everyone's freedom to rid the world of it.

    Going back to the earlier quote:
    “Of the nearly 600,000 images of graphic child pornography found online and reported to law enforcement officials, only 2,100 of these children have been identified and rescued,”
    What they are trying to do is get us to subtract 2,100 from 600,000 and recoil in horror. The problem is the numbers are images and children. Apples and oranges. There's no way of knowing what those numbers represent or how to relate them. It could represent every child. (286 computers each with the same 2,100 photos.) We're simply not told.

    Where else are private individuals expected to document anything to that detail? Oh, we collect W-2 forms to file taxes. That's nowhere near the requirement of keeping a log of all use of our WAP. I'd be more supportive if this struck a better balance between the burden and the benefit.

      As noble as the intentions are, I have no doubt that the benefits of such a bill will eventually extend to the private sector -- just like Eminent Domain. RIAA and MPAA will be pleased!

        So, Amati, how do I -- a private citizen and owner of my own home wireless network -- keep a log of not only myself but my tenants (a family of four children) in an adjoining rental unit?
