Somewhat off topic but, instead of saying max. 210 years in prison. Why don't they just refer to it as "life in prison" or "life sentence". I mean if someone got a 210 year sentence do they really expect the convict to leave on parole in 210 years?!

Yep, It always made me laugh when they were talking about 100s of years for the Enron crap too. Makes you wonder, would the prosecution actually fight for say, 150 years instead of 100 years? :D

I think there was an actual case when a convicted man was given a very long stretch in prison, and he protested that he was an old man.
The judge replied kindly: Well, just do as much as you can.

yes, the kind judge believes that the all life time torture is better than a quick death.

They don't execute dirtbags in the liberal state of Maryland. The older DC sniper was sentenced to death only after he was convicted of some more murders next door in Virginia.
I get rid of anything that looks like it might be kiddie porn when I see it...

A reason for this is that "life sentence" differs per different countries laws. For example in quite a few countries "life" is actually 25-30 years in prison. Do not ask my why or to what logic it is based on.

Wow, CP is a tougher sentence than murder & rape? Was he the one that made all the stuff, like he was kidnapping children and forcing them to do things they didn't want to do? It seems harsh for CP media, cause you always here of child molesters and such getting 5 years in prison and then they can't live by children. Wasn't a senator or something convicted of the same thing & they only got a fine and had to resign?

Execution is not a measured response to what this man has done in my honest opinion, and neither is 210 years in prison. I think it has been mentioned on these comments already and I can't believe it sometimes, but the people who actually do go out and harm children themselves often get very little time in jail whereas people found in possession of this material often get more harsh penalties, even though they may never have harmed a child and maybe they just never could.
It also goes against what many experts are saying. The biggest threat to your children are not the strangers on the Internet, they are actually people in your own family or who are close to your children, this is the horrifying truth in the vast majority of these cases. I think it is just easier for many people to pretend like the real threat to their children is "far away" from them under normal circumstances, not in their company regularly.
Of course, this man broke the law, he committed a crime, but there's another aspect to think about here. Personally, I just "cant" understand the need for people to look at pictures like that. Even if you put aside all the illegality and morals of it, I still just wouldn't see the point or why somebody would actually be attracted to this type of content.
The explanation for this is usually that these people had something happen to them in their lives that made them feel like "it's ok" and "it's normal", and I personally think thats a very sad thing for people who've been abused and even in their middle aged years it still has its affect on them. Like many people who experience similar problems due to their childhood experiences, they don't actually think they need help at all until the gravity of this crime under law is beat into them by a Judge.
Still though, I think using P2P networks and other services to trade this stuff is again, exploitation of technology for the very wrong reasons. I also am not a parent, but I do understand why any parent would get freaked out about this stuff. Hopefully we'll find out soon what happens in this case anyway.

P2P? Let me guess....Imesh?
Getting anything on that crappy p2p program is tantamount to suicide. Doesnt matter if its cp, mp3s or movies..you'll do hard time no matter WHAT you download using Imesh/Gnutella/Kazaa crap.
Use emule instead. Yeah its a bit harder to set up..but you'll save yourself from sharing a cell with Bubba.

I guess they plan on burying him in the prison after he becomes deceased so he can carry out the remainder of his sentence.

which is worse child pornography or the rape and murder of a child? I would say the latter, but it seems to be the judicial system is giving bigger penalties to child pornographers.
That's a good point that you made, just because he was sharing the files, doesn't necessarily mean he was making the footage.
Again it seems like someone who kidnaps and abuses a child would get off easier than if someone else took a picture of it. It's just totally fucked up.

I believe we're not complaining about this 210 years, but for how short other convictions are...
Maybe rapists dont kill people, but ruin entire lives and families as well...
Those sick people should be convicted for life!

those crazy sentences are to prevent parole cuz one must serve a certain percent of their sentence before they qualify for a parole hearing

if it makes u feel better prison guards usually turn a blind eye to the abuse of such sex offenders as exemplified through "katie's revenge"

What we (USA) needs to do is reform the damn laws.....some of this crap is absurd. People have made some very valid points, why in gods name will this guy get 2 centuries in jail (lol) for looking at pictures when the guy down my street abused his wife and kids, but is currently on parole after 6 months in a cell? So much wrong in this country with regards to laws...yeah he is a total perv and deserves to get hammered by Billy Bob in a cell, but there are more evil crimes out there that carry much less severe penalties.

Dude...???? WHAT?!! He should be given 210 years and I hope that by the time he's done 20 they come up with a way to ratard human aging so he can actually rot in jail for over 200. Child molestation is the worst sin ever. Do you know what it is to be a child and when your are supposed to be thinking in Barney or the Power Rangers you are thinking about sex, because some psycho decided to play with your stuff?
And the worst part is the war you must endure everyday with your messed-up instincts to prevent becoming what you hate most. Child pornography is a way to back up and encourage child molestation, never forget that.

Tell that to the victims of Auschwitz, or the kids onboard Flight 93, or those gunned down by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor.
