When will laws finally catch up with technology?

Mathematics is pure.

>tuning you're optical receptors to receive EM radiation in the 430–770 THz band reflected from a little girls panties while out in public will get you arrested
fuck sake lol, I knew my argument wouldn't be taken seriously.
>certain combinations of ones and zeroes can make you commit suicide immediately after perceiving them
But I'm just saving a copy to memory. Nobody was hurt in the process so why should it be illegal?
certain combinations of atoms make more intelligent arguments than other combinations of atoms
astonishing!

OP here. I know that my argument was phrased somewhat ridiculously.
Digital information doesn't affect the physical world directly. Rather than persecuting people for the transfer or possesion of digital information, they should only be persecuted for their illicit actions in the physical world.
say for example an employee steals some sensitive documents and uploads them to the Internet.
Those documents will be on the Internet forever - nothing can be done to remove them. Instead of punishing the people who have copies of this now digital information, the employee who uploaded them in the first place is the one who should be punished.
>information doesn't affect the physical world directly
Acting obtuse won't get you very far in life.
correct me if im wrong, but i believe that in the most obvious case for the "ones and zeros" being illegal, the image existing is not what is illegal. it is the production, distrobution, storage, and viewing of the image that are forbidden. cp can exsist, as long as you dont make it, share it, store it, or view it. And the only reason this is the case is that it encourages the abuse of children. were a pornographic image of a child to occur naturally in the wild, it wouldnt be an issue. if that makes sense.
dude binary lmao
>Rather than persecuting people for the transfer or possesion of digital information, they should only be persecuted for their illicit actions in the physical world.
If you have cheese pizza on your computer you're essentially encouraging child abuse and molestation even though "technically you don't have anything to do with who took the picture"
But eh yes licensed software and media is still very much on a different level of importance compared to raping little humans
>sending 1's and 0's, which their given combination form a type of non existing yet usable currency for which good ans services could potentially be exchanged, in exchange for a yet different combination of 1's and 0's that was produced by the recipient of the firstly mentioned 1's and 0's, and a girl whomst age also is a 1 and 0, can be perceived by some juridical entities as affecting the physical world directly

I wasn't necessarily saying CP, but I know this argument is commonly used for it.
Data should not be illicit to store if it's obfuscated behind encryption. Theoretically any data can be decrypted to be something illicit with the right private key. And you can't necessarily prove that wasn't the original data in the first place.
>there's a parallel universe where all-natural, ethical, free-range child porn freely roams in the wild
Everybody seems to be assuming I'm arguing for illicit imagery here. I'm not. I'm arguing for the freedom to store data.
Distributed storage systems are being held back by these laws because pretty much any node can be prosecuted if a client stores illicit data. Of course, these laws don't apply to the big cloud storage guys.
but yeah, thanks for reminding me Jow Forums is not capable of any kind of constructive argument.
Me neither. The girl and the man was making software that other guy needed to shut down the power in a hospital and or steal someones personal files
>something happens and someone designs it as prohibited
this entire thread
Illicit imagery is used as an example because it's the one thing the majority of the populace would unanimously object to rather than some sensitive government information that so few will even know what to do with or understand. You're trying to justify it by saying "Oh well, too many people have the information now so lets just give up and accept it as the norm, we can't stop it". That wouldn't happen in the case of CP since most people owns moral defenses would prevent it from spreading, like an antibody attacking cancer. You wouldn't need to try and stop, it'd stop by itself and the ones that do spread it are easier to stop because there's so few of them. So yes, certain combinations of "ones and zeros" are illegal, enforced by societies current stance on the content.
But we are on this universe, see

why do you pathetic piece of shit want to beat it off to little children being raped?
why should society tolerate degenerates that want to watch childporn?
do you truly want to be that edgy?
it's good that it's illegal, there already is enough degeneracy to be found online.
Do you want cp threads on /gif/? you know that once it's legal it would be easier for people that exploit and rape these innocent children to make money off of it.
Think for a second autist. Not all information comes from a good source, when that source is exploit, rape and other bad stuff it shouldn't spread nor watched, otherwise it would mean you're complaisant towards that act
>Do you want cp threads on /gif/?
>Distributed storage systems are being held back by these laws
Is that not an acceptable trade off to ensure videos of children being abused are not easily accessible?
your combinations of atoms should commit yourself to complete entropy immediately
> it is illegal to put your atoms inside of younger arrangements of atoms
There are only two ways you got that very specific sequence of 1s and 0s.
>You were the one who produced it
so if it was CP you would have taken the photos.
>You duplicated it
so if it was a DVD that was produced by a movie studio, you decrypted the data and made a copy.
It's impossible that you would have generated anything meaningful by accident. No "w-w-w-w-w-well I COULD have generated it" isn't an argument. You COULD have just had a USB drive pop into existence with the data on it, that's entirely possible thanks to quantum mechanics. That's not going to happen though.
Learn a bit about information.
>some combinations of quarks and gluons make up OP, the colossal faggot
Of course it wouldn't be taken seriously, faggot. You can't expect to be reductionist in one point of the law and not expect that other points won't be reduced to their bare minimums as well.
try me
>certain combination of letters of the alphabet can be trademarked
wow., truly mindblowing op
No, it won't.
In a sense all images are real, recorded or not. So the existence of any human means there is also existence of them nude
