So, given that a jpg is just a very large number, I infer from your framing thst you are in favor of legalizing: - leaking someone's private medical records -

  All three actions you listed can remain illegal, while owning the information(or to keep with the analogy "a very large number") should be fully legal. It's not illegal to have a case full of medical records, but stealing them or releasing them without permission is illegal, no?

    Depends on the item in question; sometimes mere possession of an item, even if obtained legally, can be illegal.

  Basically yes, I am proposing that sharing of bits be a universal right. There are other approaches you can take to solve the problems you mentioned. case 1 and 2 can be mitigated by only granting data access to those who sign a contract to keep the secret, under appropriate penalties case 3, the horseman! it's easy argue this one from emotion. some thoughts anyway: - i'm all for punishing actual child abusers - look at how many 17 year olds get criminal records or jail for sexting, which the law defines as "child porn" - "legal" and "allowed" have distinct definitions. society can affect behavior without the behavior being "illegal". try being gay in a religious fundamentalist community - my ultimate solution would be, educate every child and adult in the world, to the point where every child feels comfortable telling any stranger "Help, my guardian took pictures of me naked", have a justice system that determines the truth, and inform the community of the outcome so they can shun the evildoer
