Man Convicted In UK For Possession Of Computer-Generated Pornography

Everyone seems to agree that the conviction Friday (or Saturday, I can't tell) of 32-year-old Robul Hoque was a first of its kind, seeing as it involved computer-generated imagery that the courts deemed qualified as illegal. How we're supposed to feel about it seems to be up in the air. I think the thing that is slightly terrifying is that those happy with the decision seem to be using the this-leads-to-that justification, which is such a slippery slope that all slippery slopes should have to pay royalties to that specific construction of logic. What comes through for me isn't even a real belief in that slope, a genuine desire to snuff out the activity at the outer edges as what some folks see as one set of actions, but instead a desire to prosecute the imagery and this is the way that they're able to do so.
