Humanity is so creative. You get jaded & cynical, you think you've seen every kind of wrong there is.

And then Lance Rushton starts glazing a knuckle to shopped photos of his family and you realise that there's a whole universe of untapped wrong out there.

Lance Rushton, you are a trailblazer. A scary, creepy trailblazer who deserves to be shunned from society.

What was he actually convicted of? The technical crime. Posting photos of people on the internet without their permission can be problematic, but hard to prosecute. Posting nude photos of others already on the net is a copyright infringement. I'm not sure if there is a law against digitally modifying photos in this way. Regardless of how reprehensible his actions may have been, I'm interested in what they actually got him on.

Libel? Slander?

Being damn freaky?

No, not really. It was 3 counts of distributing pornographic material, which is apparently a felony.

I'm wondering though what implication has on you actual pornography distributors. I've fairly certain their day to day business involves distributing pornographic material.

Maybe they have a licence.
