Here's an interesting news item:
A Wyomissing man was charged with possessing pornography when taking his computer to Circuit City to install a new DVD drive. How did the technicians find out? They were looking for videos that were already on his hard drive so they could tell if the drive is working, and it just so happens they stumbled onto a porn video.
Here's the best part: According to court documents, there is "something called code X" that must be installed in order for certain videos to play properly.
(They actually meant codecs.)

Is this true?, can you actually go to jail for having porn in your computer.
NO WAY!!!
Is this for real?
I mean... were they really that stupid? I find it hard to believe that someone could mistake codecs for something like that... come on... :|
Yep, it is true. Here's the court document:
File
Do a search for "code x" in that file :)
Code x, codec... same difference. lol
That's really funny man. Love the court report! lol Code xxx? :O)
Be careful with yours Code-"X-Files" ! lol )))
That´s funny, what were they thinking?
Yeah right, that was stupid and funny, Was it a mistake or what? Is it for real? I didn't know that you could go to jail for saving XXX on your computer. How about that codec thing? That code x made me laugh again...

I'd like to see the actual news story before I believe this. I don't think you can be charged just for "possessing pornography". I think it needs to be something actually illegal, like child porn. Sounds made up to me.
LOL at the Code X thing. I'm not sure how legal of a charge that is though. I don't believe it is illegal as long is it is not underage.
Interesting point of view. I really liked your article about this funny products names.
Those XXX can really confuse a person and get him in trouble!
Is this true?, can you actually go to jail for having porn in your computer.
Code x, codec... same difference
Haha...well that's a good one but my question is where in the hell do those guys learn to snoop around another person's private data....even if it is porn or not.
anyway funny stuff
it was child porn. WTF would be dumb enough to send their computer full of child porn in for a check up. they should know big brother is watching
well thanks to his stupidity he got caught.
I don't believe it too that is illegal as long is it is not underage.
And they say working at Circuit City is not a good job???
