    This, plus the IANA turning into the U.N. will make any form of research and prosecution null and void.. unless there's an election somewhere. ;)

              I doubt anyone is sweating it. They have a hard time getting accused murderers extradited.

                But if you did, the US now has a right to go after you and have your country do all the investigating and prosecution.

                  Not true.

                  Law enforcement officials in a particular nation would be forced under this treaty to cooperate with investigations of behavior that is illegal in another country but perfectly legal within their borders.

                              I don't know if Sweden is part of the treaty. They may not be.

                              As for where I got that information from:

                              http://news.google.com/news?sourceid...22&sa=N&tab=wn

                              There are about 200 articles that detail what this treaty does.

                                Wars have been fought over much smaller things than this. Chances are good the first instance of enforcement will cause a HUGE public backlash in whatever country it occurs, further fueling anti American sentiments. It was interesting to note they set the age limit on 'child pornography' at under 16.

                                2 For the purpose of paragraph 1 above, the term "child pornography" shall include pornographic material that visually depicts:

                                a a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct;

                                b a person appearing to be a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct;

                                c realistic images representing a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

                                3 For the purpose of paragraph 2 above, the term "minor" shall include all persons under 18 years of age. A Party may, however, require a lower age-limit, which shall be not less than 16 years.

                                4 Each Party may reserve the right not to apply, in whole or in part, paragraphs 1, sub-paragraphs d. and e, and 2, sub-paragraphs b. and c.
                                It's amazing that the same rhetoric that is being used to take away civil rights in the U.S. is now attempted to be applied abroad. The SAME hot button, catch-all phrases. Fighting terrorism and child pornography. But at the end of the day, this is just another press release. And a huge waste of money to divert attention from real problems. Incredible.

                                    The convention had been signed by 38 European nations plus the United States, Canada, Japan and South Africa.

                                      You can find the full text of Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime here.

                                      And the section that might inspire nervousness, as it pertains to the adult internet, is Article 9.2.b.

                                      Article 9 = "Offences related to child pornography"

                                      and section 2 defines the term "child pornography"

                                      2. For the purpose of paragraph 1 above, the term "child pornography" shall include pornographic material that visually depicts...

                                      b. a person appearing to be a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

                                      (emphasis added)

                                      That's a little vague for my taste... but the crucial question is 'how would this section of the Convention be employed and enforced?"

                                      I have no idea what the answer to that question is, and I'm betting a lot of the world's law enforcement agencies that would have to abide by this thing don't, either.

                                          Just one example on how this couldn't work, the new US 2257 law is illegal in EU. And if there is some law the same in both US and some other country, the people from the other country has to follow it anyway.

                                                No problem pk. US internet laws don't apply internationally.

                                                Serious crimes - child abuse, money laundering blah - were always crimes where international law enforcement had cooperation. Little has changed in that respect.

                                                The fact that the US Senate has ratified the Convention on Cybercrime does not mean US domestic laws apply to other countries (apart from cooperation on serious issues).

                                                BTW... On the subject of ratifying treaties - the US remains the only country to have not given US children rights under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, has not ratified the Convention to Eliminate Racial Discrimination, has ratified the Convention Against Torture, but failed to comply in pratice and the spirit of the Convention - while placing obstacles to providing US citizens access to protection under almost all treaties re human rights which it has ratified.

                                                ?We talk the talk, but we don?t walk the walk? may be appropriate - same applies to the relevance and priority given to the Convention on Cybercrime.

These little things eventually get used when we least expect it. Just think that they have been able to legally spy on us with no warrant because of some little loophole that was put in place nearly 30 years ago with the FISA court.

                                                            You'd just hate to see in 10 years this little treaty being invoked to crush more freedoms.

                                                                the shitty part about all this is it has absolutley NOTHING to do with protection and nothing to do with other countriies

                                                                This is all about u.s.a. being able to spy on its own citizens without a warrant or probable cause, they simply ask france to ask us to check on someone, they are obliged to follow up and investigate if another country asks..

                                                                So basically before they couldnt do anything without a warrant or probable cause ( or so we are told ) now they can simply ask another country to ask them to investigate..

                                                                example hey france , ask us to investigate "insert name" and we will ask you to investigate someone you have no basis to spy on but want to spy on anyways

                                                                    This is all about u.s.a. being able to spy on its own citizens without a warrant or probable cause, they simply ask france to ask us to check on someone, they are obliged to follow up and investigate if another country asks..

                                                                    So basically before they couldnt do anything without a warrant or probable cause ( or so we are told ) now they can simply ask another country to ask them to investigate..

                                                                    example hey france , ask us to investigate "insert name" and we will ask you to investigate someone you have no basis to spy on but want to spy on anyways

                                                                    There have been a number of "incidents" where the US lied to other countries in order to get what they wanted. Come a court hearing - there was never any of these alleged offenses mentioned, but simple US domestic law stuff.

                                                                    In one instance, - they even (after several tries) stated one target was a pedo and drug dealer. When law agencies in other countries turned up to monitor the court hearing - they were amazed and realized they had just been conned when the only subject of the case was US taxation.
