You are not guilty of owning CSA material until it's found on your computer.
You do not own that cat picture unless you have some documentation that transfers copyright from the author to you (like a receipt, a contract, or similar). An entry on a blockchain is not that.
- sandworm101 5y agoCan I own something without possessing it? Clearly one can own a copyright over something without possessing a copy. So while it is illegal to possess CSA, is it illegal to own rights over it? This issue came up a few years ago with those stolen iphone images of celebs, some of which were underage. If the photos are illegal, then DMCA takedowns might not work if one cannot own the copyright to an illegal image.
