This document provides an overview of Victorian pornography and how it is defined. It discusses how pornography emerged as a distinct genre in the 18th century aimed at arousing audiences for commercial gain. Victorian pornography in particular targeted upper and middle class men as an exclusive genre. The document analyzes six Victorian pornographic novels published between 1828-1908 and discusses how they will be examined through the lenses of rape pornography, flagellation pornography, and theories of sadism. The overall argument is that Victorian pornography constructs women in complex and ambivalent ways beyond just portraying an idealized "pornotopia".
The document discusses the feminist school of criminology, which developed as a reaction against the male-dominated views of traditional criminology. It focuses on addressing the experiences of women as both victims and offenders within the criminal justice system. The summary discusses how feminist criminology examines theories of crime from a gender perspective, explores types of victimization women face and their causes. It also outlines some of the reasons for female criminality and discusses statistics on women prisoners in India. The conclusion emphasizes that while special protections are needed for women given social conditions, the movement should not ignore male victims and the goal of achieving gender equality.
Sex education provides instruction on issues relating to human sexuality including relationships, sexual anatomy, activity, reproduction, consent, health and rights. It aims to educate through comprehensive programs, parents and public health campaigns. Traditionally, such topics were taboo but progressive education led to their introduction in schools. The AIDS crisis has increased the urgency of sex education, seen as vital in Africa. Research finds comprehensive programs can be effective while abstinence-only programs are ineffective.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people are associated with certain stereotypes - conventional, formulaic generalizations, opinions, or images based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. Stereotypical perceptions may be acquired through interactions with parents, teachers, peers and the mass media, or, more generally, through a lack of firsthand familiarity, resulting in an increased reliance on generalizations
Sex education should be taught in schools to provide students with important knowledge about human development, relationships, and protection from abuse and disease. While some argue it is inappropriate, others believe that if done correctly and at an age-appropriate level, sex education can help prepare students for the realities of life by discussing topics like puberty, relationships, and reproductive health. Both schools and parents have a responsibility to educate youth on these essential topics.
This document discusses the history of swimwear fashion from the 1850s to present day and how styles have become increasingly revealing and immodest over time. It notes that early Adventists maintained high standards of modesty and did not engage in mixed swimming even when swimwear was more fully covering than modern styles. The document encourages Adventists to look back to the pioneers' example and uphold modest dress by avoiding revealing swimwear and mixed swimming. It suggests some more modest swimwear options as an improvement over typical styles but notes they still do not meet the high standards of the past.
The document provides information and guidance for parents on discussing sexuality and preventing child sexual abuse. It defines sexuality education, notes that children are exposed to more information today, and addresses common parental concerns. It emphasizes that communication is key, and outlines age-appropriate topics, signs of abuse to watch for, and tips for being an "askable parent" by listening non-judgmentally and providing fact-based information.
Sex education provides instruction on issues relating to human sexuality including anatomy, sexual activity, reproduction, safe sex practices, and abstinence. It is considered comprehensive if it covers all these topics. Sex education has traditionally been a controversial issue, with debates around appropriate ages to begin instruction and topics to include. While many see it as important for sexual health and reducing risks like teen pregnancy, others have opposed discussing sexuality in schools.
Rapes – Are Women & Children Safe in India
1. The Delhi High Court said that nobody is safe in India following the December 2012 gang rape incident.
2. Statistics show a steady increase in the number of reported rapes in India between 2003-2010, with the highest numbers reported in major cities like Delhi. However, the actual number of rapes is believed to be much higher than reported.
3. Attitudes of victim blaming expressed by some police and politicians, along with society's tolerance of such views, have contributed to the problem and discouraged reporting of crimes. Comprehensive reforms are needed across education, laws, enforcement and justice systems to address safety issues faced by women and children.
This document discusses educational and social issues faced by LGBT students in U.S. schools. It finds that LGBT students experience high rates of harassment, bullying, and physical assault based on their sexual orientation. This leads to increased absenteeism, lower academic performance, and higher dropout rates for LGBT students compared to their heterosexual peers. The document also examines what policies and school programs, such as Gay-Straight Alliances and supportive staff, have been shown to help improve the school experience and performance of LGBT students.
Pornography is widely available today due to the internet and depicts sexual acts intended to arouse. While it has existed for millennia, never has pornography been as accessible. General ill effects of the porn industry include high rates of STDs among performers and drug use to cope with treatment. Pornography promotes harmful messages like women being property and enjoying rape. It can negatively impact families through reduced intimacy and higher divorce rates, and communities through increased crime. Individuals may develop issues like objectification of women, voyeurism, and an inability to form intimate relationships. Children are especially vulnerable to early exposure online which can lead to emotional trauma, distorted views of sex, and higher risk of addiction. The Indian government acknowledges the difficulty
Incest is defined as sexual intercourse between closely blood-related individuals such as fathers and daughters, brothers and sisters. Incest between these close relatives is common and usually involves psychological factors. In India, incest itself is not a criminal offense. Incest may occur between mentally defective individuals unable to understand the taboo, when alcohol removes inhibitions, in cases of cerebral disease, or when closely related individuals are separated for long periods and reunite as strangers. Adultery, defined as sexual intercourse without consent between a man's wife and another man, is punishable by up to five years imprisonment, though the wife would not be considered an abettor.
This document provides information about an upcoming auction of photographs from the collection of Don Sanders to be held by Christie's in New York on September 29, 2014.

The document discusses various companies that have advertised on porn websites in unconventional ways. It describes how IKEA created a parody porn site called "HotMalm" that generated significant publicity. It also discusses how the clothing company Me Undies and animal rights group PETA advertised on porn sites unorthodoxly and were able to get very low advertising rates as well as media coverage. Links are provided for further reading on some of these campaigns.

Grandpa explains to his grandson about the history of music file sharing through Napster in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Napster allowed users to freely download music, which attracted millions of users but also raised legal issues around copyright infringement. This led to lawsuits from record labels and Napster's eventual shutdown in 2001. While other file sharing systems emerged, this marked a shift towards defining ownership and monetization of digital content online.
Assembly Over Algorithm: Resisting OvernarrativizationRick Prelinger
This document discusses resisting overreliance on narrative storytelling and instead focusing on documentation and assembly. It provides examples of events where archival footage is shown to audiences who discuss and make their own interpretations, without heavy-handed narration. The author acknowledges their positionality and hopes to hand over control of the historical process to local communities. They are learning that documentation itself can be compelling without needing an excessive narrative framework. Resisting algorithmic and digital forms of interaction, public assemblies allow for participatory sense-making from archival materials.
The document summarizes the key points from chapters of the book "The Beak of the Finch" by Jonathan Weiner. It discusses how the Grants studied Darwin's finches on the Galapagos Islands over many years, observing evolutionary changes such as how during a drought larger-beaked ground finches were more likely to survive by being able to crack open larger seeds. The Grants aimed to directly observe natural selection and the process of evolution in these finches.
This document discusses the ongoing conflict between content owners and the technology industry regarding intellectual property (IP) rights on the internet. It notes that content owners have a track record of opposing new technologies like cable TV, VCRs, and internet radio due to concerns over lost revenue. Meanwhile, the technology industry has also resisted content owner demands through lobbying for legislation. When these opposing track records collide over issues like internet movies and radio, the result is inevitable weaponization of IP that creates problems for the patent system, copyright length, and content owner preference for lobbying over adaptation. The document argues for IP reforms that balance creator and user interests through modernizing the patent system, shortening copyright terms, and encouraging content owners to adapt rather than lobby

Here are some potential problems that could arise in a utopian society:
- Lack of diversity of thought. A utopian society often aims for uniformity and consensus, which could stifle dissenting or innovative ideas. This lack of intellectual and ideological diversity could limit progress over time.
- Boredom or lack of purpose. If all basic needs are easily met and there are no major challenges, some people may feel unfulfilled or lack a sense of purpose. Utopian societies need to provide opportunities for self-actualization and challenge.
- Overpopulation. If the society is too perfect, population growth may outstrip resources. Utopian plans need to consider potential population pressures and how to balance population

In the 1940s, movie ticket sales reached their peak as cinema was one of the only forms of entertainment available with no television or internet. By the 1960s-1980s, ticket sales began to decline rapidly due to the rise of television ownership and VHS tapes, which allowed people to watch movies at home. However, in 1984, cinema attendance began to rise again due to the growth of multiplex cinemas providing new technology, experiences, and amenities that improved upon watching movies at home.

This document discusses the challenges of defining and identifying plagiarism in programming coursework submissions. It notes that software engineering best practices like code reuse and standard algorithms/patterns can conflict with academic definitions of plagiarism. It also examines ethics issues around methods for identifying plagiarism in code, and recommends as good practice notifying students of potential mini-vivas in advance and giving them access to annotated transcripts before misconduct hearings. The overall aim is to have a fair and balanced approach that considers the complexities of programming assignments and students' perspectives.
Accessibility Support with the ACCESS FrameworkMichael Heron
The ACCESS Framework aims to improve accessibility support by making it more accessible itself. It uses plug-ins to identify usability issues and automatically make corrections to address them. Users provide feedback to reinforce helpful changes. Evaluation found the framework improved performance on mouse tasks and users understood and accepted its approach after using it. Future work focuses on additional input methods, cross-platform support, and community involvement.
ACCESS: A Technical Framework for Adaptive Accessibility SupportMichael Heron
The document describes ACCESS, an open source framework that aims to provide accessibility support for older and less experienced computer users by automatically configuring the operating system based on a user's interactions. The framework uses plugins that monitor user behavior and can make changes like increasing mouse click thresholds. Experimental results found users found the tool beneficial and non-intrusive. Future work includes adding real-time correction and addressing security/trust issues before broader deployment.
This document discusses authorship and collaboration in multiplayer online text-based games (MUDs). It notes that MUDs have no single author and evolve continuously through contributions from many developers and players over long periods of time. Determining authorial intent is difficult as control and direction change hands frequently. The code infrastructure is built and maintained by many, influencing but not dictating the narrative elements added by others. Players also influence the game's direction through feedback and invested time. Thus MUDs frustrate traditional notions of a fixed work with a single author.
This document discusses object inheritance in systems analysis and design. It covers key concepts like inheritance, composition, aggregation, and the relationships between classes. It explains how inheritance allows classes to inherit attributes and behaviors from parent classes, and how child classes can specialize or extend parent classes through overriding and adding new functionality. The document also discusses the differences between single and multiple inheritance and how inheritance is implemented in languages like Java and .NET.
Rendering involves several steps: identifying visible surfaces, projecting surfaces onto the viewing plane, shading surfaces appropriately, and rasterizing. Rendering can be real-time, as in games, or non-real-time, as in movies. Real-time rendering requires tradeoffs between photorealism and speed, while non-real-time rendering can spend more time per frame. Lighting is an important part of rendering, as the interaction of light with surfaces through illumination, reflection, shading, and shadows affects realism.

Introduction
In many ways, technology adoption is driven by pornography.
Sex sells
Sex sells particularly well to the demographic most likely to adopt
new technology.
Young men
You know who you are.
Pornographers adopting VHS is cited sometimes as the reason
the format survived over the Betamax.
Adoption of DVDs killed off the video tape in part because of the
easy ability to skip to ‘favourite scenes’
The internet is a vast reservoir of porn and smut.
A 2001 review found 80,000 major adult websites on the internet.
3. +
Pornography
But, what is pornography?
The line varies from person to person.
‘I know it when I see it’ as Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart said in 1964
Not all nudity is porn.
Some of it is art.
Not all sex scenes are porn.
Some of them are art.
Not all pornography is visual.
Sex novels, ‘porn for the blind’
Adult, mature dramas often include full frontal nudity and are not
considered pornographic.
By most.
4. +
Pornography
Many definitions exist, but the usual rule is ‘explicit section
material delivered with the primary intention of provoking a
sexualised reaction’
A spectrum exists between ‘erotica’ and ‘porn’
Pornographic material covers a wide range of niche fetishes
and topics.
And manifests itself in a huge variety of formats and styles.
http://www.onlinemba.com/blog/stats-on-internet-pornography/
outlines some interesting stats on the prevalence of
pornography online.

Lady Chatterley’s Lover
Written by D.H. Lawrence 1928
Printed privately in Florence in 1928, it was not printed in the United
Kingdom until 1960 (other than in an underground edition issued by Inky
Stephensen's Mandrake Press in 1929
Frequent use of the graphically sexual terminology.
1960, the trial of the publishers, Penguin Books, under the Obscene
Publications Act of 1959
Found ‘Not Guilty’
‘Is this the kind of book you’d want your wife or servant to read?’ – Mervyn Griffith
Jones, Chief Prosecutor.
Prosecution was lambasted for being out of touch with social norms.

Pornography Stats
12% of the websites on the internet are pornographic.
Every second, $3,075 is spent on porn, and 28,258 internet
users are watching it.
1 in 3 porn viewers are women.
70% of men aged 18-24 visit porn sites in a typical month.
The worldwide porn industry is worth $4.9 billion
2.5 billion emails every day are pornographic (8% of all emails)
25% of all search engine requests are pornographic.
7. +
Pornography Stats
35% of all internet downloads are pornographic.
20% of men admit to watching porn online at work.
Compared to 13% of women.
The average porn site visit lasts 6 minutes and 29 seconds.
Interpret that figure in any way you see fit.
The average age at which a child first sees porn online is 11.
There are 116,000 searches for “child pornography” every day.
8. +
Pornography
Pornography is a huge industry.
And beyond the obvious titillation factors it’s difficult to have a serious
conversation about it.
Technology has greatly changed the business and dynamics of
pornography.
Salaries have plummeted as a response to free porn online.
The original tern meant ‘writing about prostitutes’
From the greek ‘prone’ and ‘graphine’
The term itself is a made up word coined in England around 1850.
It quickly expanded to encompass writing about anything with an
explicitly sexual content.
9. +
Pornography in Pompeii
Archaeologists of Pompeii began uncovering it in the 18th century
1820s, certain objects were exhibited in a public museum, but they were quickly
whisked away after King Francis I found it embarrassing to view them with his
wife and daughter.
That led to the creation of a Private Room of Obscene Objects, open only (as an
official edict said) to "persons of a mature age and a well-known morality." This, of
course, greatly enhanced the collection's reputation.
Giuseppe Garibaldi's government in the 1860s let the public see it, but when
power passed to the Savoy kings, they buried the collection again. It was largely
hidden during the period of Benito Mussolini, from 1922 to 1943. Even in the late
1940s, anyone wishing to see it needed written permission from a government
official.
Pompeii' erotica has led some to suggest that it was another Sodom whose
wickedness brought down the wrath of God
10. +
Pornography in Chaucer
Chaucer’s ‘Canterbury Tales’ were considered to be pornographic
at the time.
Similarly Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron.
In the 14th century, the landed elite of England spoke as much
French as they did German.
The Italian language was a melting pot of Latin derived languages that
varied from city state to city state.
Both of these books were passed in manuscript form from hand to
hand and then read aloud to a largely illiterate populace.
They are credited with being instrumental in creating national languages
in both countries.

Photography
We owe the name “photography” to Sir John Herschel who first
used the term in 1839.
The word is derived from the Greek works for light and writing.
The first successful picture was produced in June/July 1827 by
Niépce, using material that hardened on exposure to light. This
picture required an exposure of eight hours.
19 August 1839, developing photographic plates to make images
permanent, Daguerre named it the Daguerreotype.
1839 Fox Talbot produces Calotype process which allows
unlimited copies to be made of a negative
The first picture was taken in Lacock Abbey in England.
12. +
Photography
Almost instantly, photographs turned to produce pornography.
Such as the incredibly popular ‘what the butler saw’ penny arcade
machines.
These mostly took the form of a series of photographs that were viewed
as a slideshow.
They are almost impossibly tame by modern standards of indecency,
During the American Civil War, soldiers demanded more than
letters from home.
They wanted porn, including books and photographs.
Modern sensibilities towards depictions of sex have of course
changed tremendously over the years.
But with photography, they drove widespread adoption.
13. +
Other Technological Marvels
Cable television
First came channels like HBO and Showtime, which pioneered pay per
access models.
One of the first truly successful uses of pay per access were hardcore
pornography channels.
Video was developed originally by Sony as Betamax, and they
predicted that the thing most people would do would be
‘timeshifting’
Recording something at the time and then watching it later.
The Betamax tape was designed with a one hour playing time.
Pre-recorded movies became the surprise hit, allowing VHS to
dominate.
Guess what most of their movies were.
14. +
Other Technological Marvels
The telephone network.
Driven by phone sex lines.
CD-ROMs and Laser Discs
Large capacities, high quality images, used for… well, I’m sure you
can guess.
Minitel, the french national network.
Sexting
Pornography follows the path of maximum access with
minimum resistance.
It thus thrives in new areas with high attention and minimum
regulation.
15. +
Digital Images – Ranger VII
The first digital images were used by NASA in the 1960s for
receiving telemetry from spacecraft and sending back pictures
from the moon and Mars and Venus.
17. +
Digital Porn
Low storage capacities and limited bandwidth for digital transfer
put limits to how digital pornography could originally be
represented.
Much original ‘porn’ was in the form of ASCII art.
More traditionally sexually explicit stories transferred via BBS and
FTP.
Hard to view most of this as anything other than desperate:
http://www.asciipr0n.com/pr0n/pinups/pinup17.txt
Technological progress brought about a change in digital
pornography.
18. +
The Bits of Images
Original images broken down into two categories.
Bitmaps
Literally, a map of bits
Vectors
Drawing instructions.
Pictures presented at a particular resolution.
Dimensions of the screen.
A certain number of bits used to represent colours at each pixel.
Pixel – Picture Element
2 bit colour provided four colours.
8 bit colour provided 256
16 bit colour provided 65.536
19. +
Properties of an Image
More pixels = better resolution
More resolution equals a clearer image
Expressed in dots per inch.
Colours stored (usually) in terms of additive colour in the RGB
model.
The brain interprets different merging of values as distinct colours.
Other models include the HSB model
Hue, saturation and brightness.
20. +
Early images
Home computers had tremendously limited memory and
storage.
Thus, there was a technical limit to how detailed pornography could
be.
Not very detailed at al.
Many sexually explicit computer games were developed to
incorporate ‘interactivity’
Laughable within the constraints of the technology.
As computers became more spacious and image technology
increased, it became possible to both transmit and process
sexual imagery directly on the computer.
Via compression, for example.
21. +
Computer Pornography and the Law
The possession of pornographic images for private use is permitted in the
UK.
Except, of course, for child pornography.
However, the UK government has a classification for ‘extreme
pornography’, possession of which carries a three year sentence.
defined as an image "of such a nature that it must reasonably be assumed to
have been produced solely or principally for the purpose of sexual arousal") which
is "grossly offensive, disgusting or otherwise of an obscene character" and
portrays "in an explicit and realistic way" any of the following:
An act threatening a person’s life
An act which results (or is likely to result) in serious injury to a person’s anus,
breasts or genitals
An act which involves (or appears to involve) sexual interference with a human
corpse
A person performing (or appearing to perform) an act of intercourse (or oral
sex) with an animal (whether dead or alive)
22. +
Computer Pornography and the Law
Whether an image is pornographic is up to the discretion of
magistrates, judges and juries in individual cases.
Context also matters.
What is illegal in one context may not be illegal in another.
Pseudo-photographs are also covered by the law.
“an image, whether made by computer-graphics or otherwise
howsoever, which appears to be a photograph”.
Specifically in relation to children for the purposes of the law.
Indecency in the case of indecent material for children is
interpreted by a jury, but apply ‘recognised standards of
propriety’
23. +
Legal defences
Accused has not seen the photograph and has no reason to know it was
indecent.
An unread message in an email
A file in an unopened archive
Legitimate reason for possession of material.
Training aids for police officers.
Material held for categorisation.
If the image is of a under-age individual legally married or living with the
defendant.
And if the defendant consented.
Specific defences available to the security services and GCHQ.
Created for the purposes of criminal proceedings.
24. +
Determining Legality
A semi-objective scale of reference exists for categorising
‘extreme’ or child pornography.
The Copine Scale.
‘All images are bad, some are worse than others’
The scale was originally developed for psychological purposes.
As a tool to differentiate between ‘child erotica’ and ‘child pornography.
Child erotica concerns non or semi-nude pictures of children in
suggestive poses.
Significance of this distinction is to emphasise the potential sexual
qualities of a whole range of kinds of photographs (and other
material as well) not all of which may meet obscenity criteria.
25. +
Copine Scale
Level Category Examples
1 Indicative Non-erotic and non-sexualised pictures showing
children in their underwear, swimming costumes
from either commercial sources or family
albums. Pictures of children playing in normal
settings, in which the context or organisation of
pictures by the collector indicates
inappropriateness.
2 Nudist Pictures of naked or semi-naked children in
appropriate nudist settings, and from legitimate
sources.
3 Erotica Surreptitiously taken photographs of children in
play areas or other safe environments showing
either underwear or varying degrees of
nakedness.
26. +
Copine Scale
Level Category Examples
4 Posing Deliberately posed pictures of children fully
clothed, partially clothed or naked (where
the amount, context and organisation
suggests sexual interest).
5 Erotic Posing Deliberately posed pictures of fully, partially
clothed or naked children in sexualised or
provocative poses
6 Explicit Erotic
Posing
Pictures emphasising genital areas, where
the child is either naked, partially clothed or
fully clothed.
7 Explicit Sexual
Activity
Pictures that depict touching, mutual and
self-masturbation, oral sex and intercourse
by a child, not involving an adult.
27. +
The Copine Scale
Level Category Examples
8 Assault Pictures of children being subject to a sexual
assault, involving digital touching, involving an
adult.
9 Gross Assault Grossly obscene pictures of sexual assault,
involving penetrative sex, masturbation or oral
sex, involving an adult.
10 Sadistic
Bestiality
a. Pictures showing a child being tied, bound,
beaten, whipped or otherwise subject to
something that implies pain.
b.
b. Pictures where an animal is involved in
some form of sexual behaviour with a child.
28. +
SAP Scale
The SAP (Sentence Advisory Panel) scale is much simpler, and
adapted from Copine.
1 Nudity or erotic posing with no sexual activity
2 Sexual activity between children, or solo
masturbation by a child
3 Non-penetrative sexual activity between adult(s)
and child(ren)
4 Penetrative sexual activity between child(ren) and
adult(s)
5 Sadism or bestiality
29. +
Operation Cathedral
Led by the British National Crime Squad.
In collaboration with 13 other forces around the world.
UK, USA, Australia, Belgium, Finland, Germany, France, Norway,
Italy, Portugal and Sweden.
75,000 pictures and 1800 movies seized.
100 men detained.
12 arrests in the UK – 9 resulted in charges.
8 were sentenced to prison terms of between 12 and 30 months.
One committed suicide before sentencing.
30. +
Operation Avalanche
Conducted in Texas, 1999
Dallas police traces a website advertising child pornography to a company
called Landslide Inc, which acted as a credit card clearing company for access
to over 5,700 pornographic websites.
Police seized a list of 45,000 subscribers (including people from the UK and
Canada).
Eventually 250,000 subscribers were identified.
Thomas and Janice Reedy operated Landslide Inc, and were offered reduced
terms of 20 and 5 years for cooperating with police.
They refused. Thomas Reedy was sentenced to 1335 years in prison.
Reduced to 180 on appeal.
Janice sentenced to 14 years.
Business turnover was $1.4 million a month.
31. +
Operation Ore
Operation Ore was the UK investigation, using information
gathered by the USA as part of operation avalanche.
3774 arrests were made under the Protection of Children Act
1978.
In comparison to only 100 arrests made in the USA.
Most found not guilty.
They were victims of credit card theft and identity fraud.
In the end, 1451 were convicted, and 140 children were removed
from suspected dangerous environments.
33 people committed suicide rather than face the consequences.
33. +
Escalation of Technology
Much of the child pornography still in circulation is old.
Efforts are made to trace the children in the images and prosecute
those involved in its production.
The investigation into the production and distribution of such
images has led to an ‘arms race’ between investigators and
producers.
Encryption is used to protect files to keep them safe.
It is now illegal for an individual to withhold the provision of an
encryption key from law enforcement.
Steganography is used to hide data inside other kinds of files.
Nobody would know they were there on a casual inspection.
34. +
Escalation of Technology
The distribution of child pornography is not a computing era
phenomenon.
Like most crimes computers simply scale up what was already possible.
Social networks like Facebook allow for easy sharing of images
within closed social groups.
And thus are aggressively policed.
Modern algorithms allow for automatic classification of obscene
images.
But there are ethical problems here too.
Ease of access to virtual worlds and chat channels has created
new opportunities for individuals to exploit children and trade
obscene material.
35. +
Porn and the Digital Economy
A scenario outlined in http://www.zdnet.com/digital-economy-
act-what-will-granny-think-4010026508/
A kid visits his grandparents and downloads some porn over
the internet.
Grandparents get a Copyright Infringement Report (CIR).
Let’s assume that the report spells out what files are being
accessed.
What is the choice of the grandparents?
Shop little Jimmy?
Accept an allegation of ‘pirating’ pornography?
36. +
Conclusion
Pornography drives technological adaption.
Original pornography seems very tame by modern standards.
A consequence of the mores at the time and the increased
sexualisation of contemporary society.
Technological limits influenced development of pornography.
Storage, memory and bandwidth
However, the technology soon expanded and brought with it
increased opportunities for abusive images and child
pornographers.
