The shitstorm scenario of 2257

Paul, here's the thing. Documents are easy enough to forge, requiring them to be broadcast all over the world will likely lead to more of the same. There isn't anything that is being done that is going to prevent it. If the primary producer wants to be a dick and break the law, there is little that is stopping him or her.

Providing copies of documents isn't going to change that one bit.

It wouldn't be different if the primary prodcers were required to send a certification of the model. It wouldn't be different if they have to provide 1 copy of ID. All the cross referencing and indexing in the world isn't going to stop 1 instance of child porn. It's pointless.

Forcing people to reveal personal info isn't going to stop one instance of CP.

The stated intent of the law and it's actual effects are not at all related.

I agree RA.

but because a car can be stolen does not mean we should leave it with the doors open, engine running and the keys in the ignition.

Of course it does to some people, but the more sensible see the benefit of fitting an alarm and locking the vehicle.
