Chris Langham - you decide

[Diver]

You're a total wind up merchant Diver - I believe you are actually Duder's creator and this is your new "character"!

A bouncer style vigalanti grandad with a chess playing child prodigy in the family, is a bit too much of a stretch as an IT Contractor!

I will however, continue to pretend to believe you (much like I did with Duder).

1. el duder insulted and abused (even you) I don't
2. I am not solely in the IT business Ref: Diving & Marine Civil's

Besides you have my express permission to ask SP to confirm or deny your suspicions.

I know SP

PS. See my posts for last week or so in TPD

Didn't Pete Townsend from The Who get caught doing something similar with dodgey pics and got cautioned for offering the same defence of research? I'm confused about the consistency in the way the law deals with this.

Ok, Langham also had indecent assault charges against him which clearly had to be put before a jury. But he was acquitted of those leaving just the possession of these pics. Which leads me back to the original question; how come Pete Townsend gets a lighter response than Langham for essentially the same thing?

Or have I missed out an essential caveatte here?

Yes. Wasn't PT supposed to have been researching (that now elderly, wizened chestnut) for his autoboigraphy? Come on Pete, where's the book, then? Or is Garry Glitter still proofreading it?

DogYog:

I suppose it's about proof. The offence is "making images". In copyright law, and I assume it's the same here, that includes "making" an image appear on your screen, from a file. Very hard to prove in court that that happened, if there weren't any files on the beast's computer. If PT had refused the caution in the first place, it would probably never have gone to court.
