Makes me wonder if browser companies/authors couldn't be dragged into any
such conflicts. If Person A inadvertently stumbles across Pedophiles 'R' Us
on the net, and quickly moves on, I have yet to see a browser that lets
him/her say "quick - delete that last cacheing operation", thus *making*
him/her 'guilty' of criminal possession.

Legal opinions?
