My phone rang and I sort of lost my train of thought half-way through so may be a bit like rambling nonsense

The LAST thing you want is to go to court over downloading a movie featuring a guy getting ass fucked by a tranny. lol
Get in trouble for downloading the new Foo Fighters song? Okay. But get BUSTED downloading stolen porn?
That can get your life destroyed.

That relies on a large percentage of the downloaders being your specific "normal" guy.
Active in church? Church attendance has been dropping for years.
Youth leader? Already looked at suspiciously by a lot of people anyway for having a desire to work with kids.
Then needing them to have downloaded something extreme.
What is taboo constantly changes.
20 years ago my cousin got divorced and my grandparents never spoke to her again. To my parents generation divorce is just a bit unfortunate. To my generation it doesn't matter at all.
15 years ago me having a load of points on my driving licence was a job restricting rarity. Now there are more people with points for speeding than without. Nobody gives a shit.
10 years ago Napster helped make sharing the acceptable way to amass a huge un-paid-for music collection. Those initial everything-for-free addicts now have kids of their own brought up with an equal expectation of getting things without paying for them.
To people who are exposed to the internet a lot porn is becoming something that is just there for entertainment with less and less feeling of a need to hide it.
It may be quite easy
now to get a settlement on someone downloading the guy getting ass fucked by a tranny but less simple to get a settlement on fairly ordinary boy/girl stuff. Wait too long and the fairly ordinary boy/girl stuff won't be enough to scare people into automatically paying up to keep quiet at all.
