    Scarey.

    Just did a random search on a popular business networking site, for a bloke I used to work with who was sent down for having some of the wrong sort of pr0n on his PC at home. This was some 11+ years ago.

    He was shopped by his then girlfriend. Police in checking all the office PCs, and his particularly, his PC was also confiscated.

    Vaguely remember he got 6 months inside, I may be wrong though.

    He is now writing and selling software to schools!!

    I wonder if the customers know. Do these sort of convictions expire?

    Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

    What is the wrong sort of pr0n? Are parachuting mice in gimp masks allowed?

        He would be on the register for a long time, assuming he would develop the software in his office rather than in the school playground I don't see the problem unless you are a Daily Mail reader. Give n0nces a chance!

          Is this sparklebox by any chance? If so the teachers are well aware of it and many many teachers and head teachers flat out refuse to use the stuff. (It's free though)

          He's been done recently for trying to entice parents to upload pictures of their kids to it - and apprantly its perfectly legal for the site to continue as long as it doesnt host any pictures of children (or something to that effect) sickening.

          What is shocking is his dad took over the company to keep it running and kind of hide what was going on..

          If it isn't the same site , then let tes know - they'll kick up a hullabaloo in no time.

            No its not as far as I can see and the conviction was pre 2001.

                    It is disappointing that webcams don't come with some basic grooming software. It should not be that hard to take my distinguished but mature features and remove wrinkles and stick some spots on to make me look like a teenager,
                    or take my erudite and educated comments on Wagner, say, and turn them into inarticulate teen ramblings about Justin Beiber. Gap in the market there.
