Is catfishing (ONLINE) illegal in Australia?
my friend (14) was using her kik account to attract guys on omegle and talk to them on kik. They ended up sending her nude photos even after she told them that she's underage and she sent back nude photos she found off the internet (not of her). Her display picture is her and the information she gave was true but the photos were not. I made her block the guys and delete the account and app. could she get arrested for fraud?
Is it legal to view pirated movies online?
If by “view” you meant to say stream pirated movies online then “viewing pirated movies online” is illegal. If you meant that someone downloaded the pirated movie and or streamed the pirated movie and you were merely viewed it, that would also be illegal.Right now there is a dramatic change in the landscape of pirated movies. Fewer people are downloading pirate movies to their computers via torrents and file lockers. This is largely because there are downsides to downloading like, risks of malware and being caught. Overall the process of downloading pirated movies has become messy compared to streaming pirated movies.That said. It’s easy to see why downloading a pirated copy of a movie from a pirate website is illegal. During the process of downloading the file you replicated the entire video file and it’s stored on your computer, which you can share with anyone you want.So why is streaming a pirated movie illegal if there is no file stored on your computer?Believe it or not your computer is doing the virtually the same file replication that you’d conceptualize when downloading a pirated movie from a torrent site or file locker. The only difference between streaming a pirated movie and downloading a pirated movie is that streaming technologies allow you watch the video file as it is being downloaded.How does pirated movie streaming technology work?As you watch a pirate movie stream your computer is actually downloading segments of the full video file every second. As your computer receives these video file segments from the pirates video hosting server it compiles them in order, so you can watch the video. This process of simultaneously downloading new segments of the video while compiling the successfully downloaded segments to watch is called streaming.After watching the streamed pirated movie your computer will have downloaded a copy of the pirated movie file. The key difference between streaming a pirated movie and downloading a pirated movie is that the streamed pirated movie file doesn’t show up in your downloads folder, so it ‘feels’ less illegal. But it’s still completely illegal.The following article takes a deeper dive into my own answer:Is It Illegal to Watch Movies without Downloading? - Computer Realm
Will I get in trouble if I stream movies online illegally?
It is illegal for those websites/apps (like putlocker and others), to give access of all that content as they don’t have the license to do that. But what these companies do that, they do not offer you direct content, but give you various links of that particular content across the world.Now about your question, there has not been any case in the whole world, in which someone is sued just because they are streaming content from these websites. But downloading of content from these sites is totally illegal and you can get caught with that.I don’t recommend you to use these services as they can cause harm, both to your personal details and your systems security.My final piece of advice is that, if you are using these services, just be careful, don’t download anything from there, and don’t participate in any surveys as they can use your email for scam.In the end the choice is yours.

Why is it illegal to watch movies on YouTube?
There’s a flaw in your question because it is not illegal to view pirated movies. It’s illegal (generally speaking) to copy or distribute copyrighted movies.If someone illegally uploads a movie to YouTube, the uploader is liable for copyright infringement. The YouTube users who view that movie, however, are not.That said, if you invite a bunch of your friends over to your house to watch the pirated movie on YouTube, now you too are guilty of copyright infringement as you are distributing a copyrighted work without permission from the original copyright holder.Outside of that limited scenario (and other similar scenarios where you become more than just a passive viewer), it is not actually illegal to merely watch pirated movies on YouTube.
Copyright Infringement: Is it a crime to watch movies on Youtube?
Well, first thing you should be aware of is that copyright infringement is a violation of civil law, not criminal law. So while it is illegal, it is not a crime.But additionally, since YouTube does not download a copy of the video to you, but rather, it streams a video feed, you are not making a copy as you view the video, so you are not performing a copyright infringement. Otherwise watching any video on YouTube, or the web for that matter, would be a copyright infringement, no matter what the video was.Of course there are programs that turn a YouTube video stream into a saved video. You can see by now that this would be copyright infringement, again regardless of the movie you are copying.The above is true for nearly all countries that have signed the Berne Convention and the WIPO treaty, unifying the treatment of copyright and IP throughout most nations.
Is the view of bestiality illegal??
Can you even believe that in MA the ACT of bestiality is a serious crime and the punishment is UP TO TWENTY YEARS IN PRISON!?! Yep, sadly is is. And the law regulating this is written in the SEXUAL CONDUCT statutes and not in the ANIMAL WELFARE statutes which is where laws like this WOULD be written if they were supposed be there to "protect" animals. They are there ONLY to regulate sexual behavior which if between consenting parties SHOULD NOT be regulated! And YES an animal can consent to sex....with body language just like we do....and so if someone cares for and understands an animal the sex is a MUTUAL thing and should not be against the law. Now as far as WATCHING that type of porn? The internet is still free (thankfully), and so watching it cannot be regulated. However, as one answerer here says, CLEAR YOUR CACHE because if the police come and seize a computer (which they will often do these days if you are under investigation for ANY crime) any browsing history can and WILL be used against you if even just to say, "Look at what this guy has been looking at! See, he has a low sense of morality and so MUST have committed that crime." As far as DOWNLOADING and POSSESSING that type of porn? That depends upon your local laws and how they define what IS pornographic. It is a pretty safe bet that no matter WHERE you live in MA the local laws will in fact deem images or videos depicting bestiality as pornographic, so be sure any are kept on an encrypted drive.
