Schwartz and Thompson

In the first article by Schwartz, I think that the Supreme Court decision about virtual reality child pornography was the right decision from a legal standpoint; but in my opinion even though this form of pornography does not directly hurt children it may in the long run. If the Supreme Court says that this virtual experience is okay, then child predators may be worse than they were before there was a form of legal child pornography. The main point of this article is to point out the importance of drawing a clear line between what is a virtual experience and what is reality.

In the second article by Thompson, I thought that the hacker, Kevin Mitnick was very interesting, he seemed to want to obey what the courts ordered him to do but it was clear that he was only doing it to get by, it seemed to me that he wont stop hacking, because he seemed to like the attention. This was apparent by the examples of the inmate paying him 5 million cash for hacking, the Alias guest appearance, and the story he told of how exactly he could get your email password.
