Well, my main problem with this is that I don't like being "guilty by default". But aside from that, shit could happen quite easily. Just imagine the following scenario:
Your computer breaks down. You send it to be repaired. The repair guy watches what you have on your hd, sees some (legal) teen porn, thinks it may be underage (Tawnee Stone?), reports it to the police.
Now, the police doesn't just check your resident porn collection, they also check your IE cache and your deleted files. So, they could very well find some illegal stuff that you knew nothing about.
Obviously, a few accidentally downloaded files won't get you life in prison (although they are - rightfully - planning to increase sentences for CP), but it will get you a criminal record, as well as make you a registered "pedophile".
Now, it isn't at all unlikely that in the future lists of sex offenders, pedophiles, etc will be released to the public for safety. That happens in several countries already, and a number of political parties over here are in favor of doing that here as well.
So, in a worst case scenario, your life could be ruined just because you see a lot of porn. Unlikely, ofcourse, but a scary thought - and a real one - nonetheless.
