You would still have downloaded the images into your memory, in any case. Unless you are a very competent remote viewer, that is.
Under Section 1 (4) Protection of Children Act 1978 the defendant may suggest that he was looking at adult pornography sites, or even sites not connected with pornography at all, when child pornography sites popped up on the screen uninvited. Although this is possible, in order to refute such a defence your expert witness can show how often the defendant visited such sites and whether he saved the indecent images.
The Jolly Roger is flying at half-mast across Sweden today, after the country’s Pirate Party failed to secure enough popular support to enter parliament.
The party, which supports copyright reform, free speech and opposes state surveillance, polled just one percent of the total vote. That falls far short of the seven percent that the party secured in 2009’s European Parliament elections, and also short of the four percent threshold required to enter parliament...
IKEA founder 'was Nazi recruiter'
IKEA's billionaire founder Ingvar Kamprad was a member of the Swedish Nazi party and was such a concern to secret service they opened a file on him, according to a new book.

Ikea founder Ingvar Kamprad
The 1943 file, revealed in a book published on Wednesday by Swedish journalist Elisabeth Åsbrink, will revive the long-standing controversy over the far right sympathies of the 85-year-old businessman.
It proves for the first time that Mr Kamprad was an active member of Svensk Socialistisk Samling – the successor to the Swedish Nationalist Socialist Workers Party – even detailing his membership number, 4013.
It quotes letters intercepted from Mr Kamprad, then 17, in which he enthuses about recruiting new members and says that he "misses no opportunity to work for the movement".
The secret service concluded that, as Mr Kamprad received the party's youth newspaper, he must have held "some sort of official position within the organisation".
Ms Åsbrink accused Mr Kamprad of failing to come clean about the full extent of his Nazi past.
"He said in 1998 that he would get everything up on the table and that there would be nothing hidden. Why then didn't he tell us that he was a member of the worst Nazi party, and that the police found it serious enough to create a file on him?" she said.
Mr Kamprad has long fought to escape the stain of his involvement with the far right New Swedish Movement, revelations of which first surfaced with the publication of the letters of the group's leader, Per Engdahl, in 1994.
Those letters showed that Mr Kamprad gave money and recruited members, and that Mr Engdahl had been one of a select few invited to Mr Kamprad's wedding.
Ms Åsbrink said Mr Kamprad's feelings about Mr Engdahl remained mixed even today. "Per Engdahl was a great man, this I will maintain for as long as I live," he told her last year in a two-hour interview recorded for her book.
In 1998, Mr Kamprad said he could not remember whether he had been a member of Nordic Youth, Sweden's equivalent of the Hitler Youth, when faced by further revelations.
But he has never admitted to membership of the more radical Svensk Socialistisk Samling, which was so close to the German Nazi party that it had dropped the Swastika symbol only a few years before Mr Kamprad joined.
Ms Åsbrink's book, And in Wienerwald the trees remain, details Mr Kamprad's long friendship with a young Jewish refugee who came to work on his family farm and then played a key role in the team that launched IKEA.
"He came from a background where it was normal to speak badly about Jews, but when he met Otto, they became the closest friends," she said.
A spokesman for Mr Kamprad downplayed the revelations as "old news".
"Ingvar Kamprad gave a detailed account back in 1994 about what he describes as his 'youthful sins' and the 'biggest mistake of his life', apologising and asking for forgiveness from all parties involved. The IKEA he created is based on democratic principles and embraces a multicultural society."
Ikea 'used political prisoners in GDR as slave labour'
Swedish retail giant Ikea used political prisoners in East Germany as “slave labour” to make furniture, secret police files unearthed by a German broadcaster appear to show.

Quoted in a Stasi file, Ingvar Kamprad, Ikea's founder, said while he had no official
knowledge of the use of prison labour, if it did indeed exist 'in the opinion of Ikea it would be in society's interests'
Ikea developed strong links with the communist state in the 1970s, opening a number of manufacturing facilities, one of which, according to Stasi records discovered by German television company WDR, used political prisoners to construct sofas.
The factory in Waldheim stood next to a prison, and inmates were used as unpaid labour, it is claimed. Gaols in the Democratic Republic housed significant numbers of political prisoners, with some estimates indicating they made up at least 20 per cent of the entire prison population.
Quoted in a Stasi file, Ingvar Kamprad, Ikea’s founder, said while he had no official knowledge of the use of prison labour, if it did indeed exist “in the opinion of Ikea it would be in society’s interests”.
Hans Otto Klare, who had been sent to Waldheim prison for trying to escape to West Germany, described conditions in the factory as harsh.
“Our labour team lived on the upper floor of the factory with the windows covered,” he told WDR about his time making hinges and other components for Ikea furniture. “The machines were on the lower floor, and you had little rest. On the factory floor you had no proper seating, no ear protection: no gloves. Conditions were even more primitive there then in the rest of the GDR. It was slave labour.”
Another former prisoner said he recognised some of the parts he has made when he went shopping in Ikea after the fall of communism.
In the documentary Sabine Nold, an Ikea spokesman, made no comment on the revelations other than to point out business practices had changed over the past 25 years. An Ikea statement issued later said the company had no knowledge of the use of prison labour, but was sorry if it had occurred.
Kamprad founded Ikea in 1943, aged 17. In 1994 it was disclosed that he had briefly joined Sweden’s pro-fascist New Swedish Movement in 1942.

In that context, it is worth noting that Sweden was home to more Bormann front companies (233) than any of the other neutral nations in which the brilliant Reichsleiter set up the entities which were to serve as repositories for the stolen wealth of the Third Reich, as well as the economic rebirth of the “new” Germany.

I had no idea of the depths of THAT particular rabbit hole, and right next door to boot. He has a free PDF book out (according to Dammegård, no publisher would publish it despite private encouragement). I'm reading it in Swedish, but it seems there's an English edition out. I recommend checking it out, it seems pretty great (although I've only gotten as far as the opening minute-by-minute account of the murder night which reads like a thriller).
http://www.donationto.com/TheAssassinationOfOlofPalmeFor many years I have been trying to get my book “Coup d’etat in Slow motion” published, something that has turned out to be a very important but dangerous task.
Not only has it put myself a great risk as times, the un-covering of the real facts behind the assissination of the Swedish Prime minister Olof Palme has also cost the lives of two dear friends.
“Coup d’etat in Slowmotion” / "Statskupp i Slowmotion" is not just any book, but an impeccable study of one of the biggest murder investigations in modern history (with more than 800 pages with lots of photos, documents, detailled maps and images).
What is still claimed to be the deed of madman has turned out to have its roots within the international military complex and world finances at the very highest level, all sanctioned locally from behind impenetrable veils.
We are talking about an international conspiracy the size of the one behind the JFK-assassination. The fact is that it is actually the same Power Elite behind both of them.
My research has led me into a world of international assassinations, arms smuggling, acts of terrorism, weird suicides, as well as a tangled skein of paedophiles and freemasonic rituals.
Agents, mercenaries, right-wing nazi police officers, professional assassins and innocent scapegoats turn up on the pages of this astounding and explosive book that shows a picture of Sweden rarely seen before and which will change the image of this nation for ever.
For the first time, the so-called Police connection, the South Africa connection and the Bofors connection shown to not exclude each other – they make up an interconnected web. Interlinked are also connections across the world with strong connections to the CIA and some South American dictators.
