I've heard the argument that 'most women secretly want to be raped' therefore it shouldn't be a crime. Pretty extreme, but it does happen. I’m sure there are lunatics, idiots and psychopaths in the world, but I don’t hang around with them, nor have I witnessed many rape trails. Even so, I find it hard to believe that in this century, on this planet there are lawyers defending their clients with the argument that “the rape wasn’t a crime because no one was killed.” That was the wacky addendum to the bent analogy that flung “rape” into this argument like a simian dung projectile. Anyway, back to your claim that no one is harmed in people downloading images, first, you have no way of asserting that as a fact. It's only a speculation, and speculations aren't good enough for making laws. Anyone who puts an image up online has agreed that it can be downloaded whether they realize it or not. If there is any harm, I maintain that it was self-inflicted. To argue that the “intent” of the down loader to retain the image is what constitutes a “crime” when in fact the image is automatically retained anyway is a magical, voodoo-style concept that has no place in modern law and rational discourse.
