He says it was research. Whether it was or not, it's a crime and my guess is that he may end up doing time.

 Yes.. I download (legal!) porn for research purposes as well I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

 alright that may be so but what has that got to with him watching pron sites..The Who star said he had never entered chat rooms on the internet to converse with children.
 
 
 it's like asking someone who drove 20km/h too fast if that person has driven over a pedestrian or so...

 He said he had been shocked and angry about the explosion of advertised paedophilic images on the internet Yes, I'm shocked and angry there is gambling going on here, now cut the damn deck and deal! Maybe he finds being shocked and angered...umm...stimulating... Yeah, that's the ticket, he was doing research on what it's like to be shocked and angry and could find no other way to shock and anger himself.

 I can't agree. When systematic abuse and torture of children becomes a profitable industry, those buying the products are just helping propagate evil.Originally posted by GP
 Let him be. As long as he didn't physically hurt a child, I don't think it is an evil action. Same thing with bestiality.

 Question though:
 There are many groups out there that monitor internet child pornography. How is it that they can acquire their "research" materials legally, whereas Townshend, who appears to be an outspoken critic of child exploitation, cannot acquire said "research" materials?"People sit in chairs!" - Bobby Baccalieri

 If the guy apparently found his way to a child-porn site so easily, how come that site even existed anymore? 
 Or do they all have google-ads these days too?

 Hang him from the towers of the vatican along w/ all those child molesting priests.
 
 I wonder if it was a pay site. If it was he was definately contributing to the whole sick business.Long time member @ Apolyton
