Such legislation differs between countries or even between states. I specifically said that I was referring to material that was already public. Censorship and secrets are slightly different topics. Certainly you could go to another country and legally read it so its a pointless exercise in futility. Who said anything about distributing? I thought we were talking about the ability to view / download things. ________________________________

That is correct, however legislation is quite exact with these terms. > Censorship of already published information is never justified imo. Hm, what about stealing some database with personal names and making it public? In Slovenia we had a case, when someone published our former (communist) secret service dossiers on almost everybody in our country (more than 80% population). That was illegal and banned, and is stil illegal, even it was already published. An in some (many, actually) coutries possessing (not "just" distributing) child porn is illegal. bye, Matej
