One can always try to overcome the principle of strict liability by arguing exceptional circumstances. May not always work, though. Nice to know there's one virus one can blame if one gets caught with porno on the system. I'll have to remember that one. For any clients who might need it, of course. Not for me personally. I have always wondered, though, what would happen if I got a client who was accused of collecting kiddie porn and in order to defend her I put the images she was accused of having on my computer to view them and prepare the defense. Would I be in violation? Would that be protected attorney-client communication? Interesting question! And what about the cops who have it on their computers as what they claim to be part of their investigation. Wonder how much investigation they're doing from that laptop hooked up to the big screen TV in their bedroom. <g>
