I've resisted getting involved in this and suspect that this may be a misguided attempt to clarify (??) a few things, but... Bipin Gautam wrote:

This need not matter. In several (many, most and increasing) Western jurisdictions _just possessing_ certain kinds of material is a criminal offense. This is typically child pornography and/or beastiality but often includes other more or less specific things. For example, writing as I am from New Zealand right now, I would almost certainly be committing an indecency offense by including the words "golden" and "shower" run together into a single phrase in this Email. Within such jurisdictions, the issue of "knowledgable possession" or "intent to possess" are technically irrelevant to the issue of "did you breach this law", for as written, the offence is "possession" (and/or production, etc, etc) with no elaboration.
DOES THAT CHANGE ANYTHING? LOGIC MAYBE???
I guess to assess that, we have to first decide whether you know what you're talking about or not... And have you not heard of "the Trojan Horse defense"? Kinda the legal opposite of "the dog ate my homework" and already successfully used a few times.
