The statute says "knowingly transfer".  I'm no lawyer but I think this means they have to intend the content be delivered directly to someone under the age of 16.  Just posting it here, while wrong, probably doesn't meet the requirements of the code. Also, I'd consult with a criminal lawyer before posting threats of legal action. [[User:Jrssr5|Jrssr5]] 11:04, 14 March 2007 (EDT)

: "Knowingly" imports a criminal ''mens rea'' requirement of recklessness or higher, so I don't know if posting here would support a conviction.  Andy's the lawyer though, so I'd love to know if I'm wrong on the ''mens rea'' thing.  It'd help me on exams ;-)--[[User:AmesG|AmesG]] 11:13, 14 March 2007 (EDT)
