Is distributing kiddy porn okay in a good cause?

[Argus]

The punishment of pedophiles is based on society thinking their fantasies are disgusting and not for any actual harm they cause. I agree, from what I understand they have no choice as to what the're 'aroused' by.  While I'm on board with severe punishment for actually causing harm to children, the fact we even criminalize them writing down their fantasies/stories, or drawing pictures or cartoons of naked children from the imagination makes it clear that it is what they think about that we despise, not any practical protection of children.

I agree with you here Argus. I learned that besides the word, "entrapment", there is a term called, "honeypot", in computer hacking that is a form of website redirection to places that you THINK is the legitimate site but is not. Governments and businesses (and others likely) use these tactics to not only entrap but to attempt to alter people's thinking. I'm not sure if it is completely avoidable. But regardless, governments doing this are more at fault given we live still in what we believe are 'democracies'. 

I wrote into CBC when a recent reporter went on a sting (with cameras) in Toronto to stop, "Trafficking", our new legal term to refer to "prostitution" that is purposely misleading. 

I can't really add more than what you guys already spoke of here. I understand that we need certain means to curb abuses but the prevalence that is claimed to exist does not. This MAY be just a phase due to the technology and we may overcome the hysteria. (I hope). But I speak up on these without hesitation even if it doesn't appeal to other's perspective of me. 

Images, such as porn represents, is a kind of 'thought' or 'art', even if we don't approve. While the ones who directly abuse others (regardless of who they abuse) should be attended to, many take a protective stance of women and children in the kind of way that Muhammad is considered wrong to represent. I believe that if we could have a time machine so that we can repeat exact events over again to measure, that we'd be able to likely prove that ANYONE is susceptible to being ENTRAPPED or lead into any behavior.
