You shouldn't be able to do whatever you want. Unless you only want to do good things. Law isn't perfect but it is meant to be applied impartially.

- Semiapies 17y agoWhat about the things that aren't "good", but aren't harmful to anyone - things like lolcats and blog posts about how the whole web should be running out of home servers? Shouldn't people be able to do those?
- kelnos 17y agoWe're not talking about Italy's hatred of a lolcats video. We're talking about a video of 3 kids taunting an autistic kid. If someone put that video on their home server and showed it to the world, they'd (hopefully) be just as liable as if they put it on YouTube. If Italy is fine with lolcats on YT, presumably they'd be fine with lolcats on my home server.
- Semiapies 17y agoYour reply isn't actually to what I said, but I'll respond to you: The video is not the harm; the original taunting is. If it's a manner of protecting a minor, we can talk about pulling the video down. If the kids were selling the video and making money off it, we can talk about prosecuting them.
- kelnos 17y agoWhy is making money off of something the threshold for prosecution? Is the video (or the act itself) somehow less harmful to someone when it isn't commercially viable?

- Semiapies 17y agoAs a question, that would be a correct paraphrase of what I just asked.
