What if you click on a link [or your browser clicks on one for you, as often happens] and it takes you to a child porn site and doesn't let you close the window, and then somebody happens to be walking by at that moment? Or what if you visit a site that secretly downloads material onto your hard drive without your knowledge? Sure, one might be acquitted in the above cases, but you could still be bankrupted by legal fees, lose your job, and be permanently tarred for life.
Or if your cat steps on your keyboard and downloads 10,000 images!
An innocent person's life could be ruined by big government. I'm against that.
