Interesting Twist: Magnotta case

[Wickabee]

I wasn't going to start a new thread, but the other one I started about Magnotta got sent to archive (while https://www.sportscardforum.com/threa...-as-Terrorists stayed...) so I had to. Anyway, a new charge have been brought against someone else in this case. It seems the dismemberment video Magnotta shot as he took his victim's body apart was posted on a website. Now the owner of that website has been arrested and charged with "corrupting morals"

The story is here: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/gore-owner-...183307651.html

thought on said laws?

I've been to that website a few times...really messed up stuff but it's still free speech. They have a page where they warn you what is there and you can leave if you want. Not sure how he would know what is going on exactly in that video...

I also frequent that site, purely to see how the fsa is treating innocent civilians. Supposedly the video was sent to Mark from Magnotta. It's a very disturbing video to say the least. Idk how Canadian laws are but is Mark going to to face charges for involuntary involvement for a case? In the video, you can't really tell who the perp is.

Not sure if I've ever been to that site. Not something I'm against but not something I'm really into either (though in high school, I loved sites like that). I've read a bunch of stories on this and, from what I gather, Magnotta sent him the video, as many, many people do, and he put it up. The moment he learned Magnotta was arrested for murder, he took the site down. This is not something I ever have to deal with, so I'm ignorant of the law but from what's happened here, I gather either in Alberta or, more likely, Canada, you can't actually film and show a murder as entertainment under the moral corruption laws. I would imagine the same laws cover real rape filmed and sold as entertainment. I think the crux of this case will be:
A - Did he take it down as soon as he knew it was real, as he says?
B - Was it illegal under this law to be still showing the video at the same time Magnotta was under investigation, which he admits doing?
I don't know really anything about this law and, as much as it screams "freedom of speech case" I don't think it will be. I do believe this incident was gruesome enough and very, very real that we may've found where freedom of speech and expression truly ends.

I agree that freedom of speech should only go so far. I don't believe it was taken down because after I heard of it, I found it on his site. Idk how mark will do with this one. It's not the first time he has caught flak either. I do have to say that his better judgement should've came through though. The video is of complete disrespect towards the victim and his family.
