I just read this blogger ‘Anonymousxwrites‘ writing a blog post on how posting a LINK to the pictures of Edison Chen’s sex pictures may potentially be against the law.
Luckily for me, I didn’t post any pictures nor links to the pictures. I only posted link to the website which you might find said pictures.
I dont have a law degree, but I seriously don’t think posting a LINK to the pictures of celebrity sex scandals are illegal. Infact, many Chinese newspaper and magazines are publishing censored pictures of the scandal! Are they going to get into trouble with the law too?
FIRSTLY
Based on what this blogger say:
So think twice before you join the rest in spreading the links of any sex scandal photos. Because what highlighted in blue may just cover ‘publishing links which lead to obscene photos’.
(ii) on which is recorded or stored for immediate or future retrieval any information that, by the use of any computer or other electronic device, is capable of being reproduced or shown as any picture, photograph, word, statement, sign or representation,
Undesirable Publications Act (Chapter 338)
LINKING to another website which HOSTS the pictures is NOT the same as publishing. Even if the pictures are obscene, so as long as the pictures are not hosted on your own blog or website, you have no RECORDS and the picture is not STORED on your website.
