Definitely, and that’s why hard/strict laws or rules can be dangerous. Much like the famous “I know it when I see it” judgment on obscenity.

Another hard hitter was “Game of Tones”. It’s in the seventh season, so a bit later on. But the mom/son relationship hits hard.

The biggest issue with this line of thinking is, how do you prove it’s CP without a victim. I suppose at a certain threshold it becomes obvious, but that can be a very blurry line (there was a famous case where a porn star had to be flown to a court case to prove the video wasn’t CP, but can’t find the link right now).

So your left with a crime that was committed with no victim and no proof, which can be really easy to abuse.

Edit: This is the case I was thinking of - https://nypost.com/2010/04/24/a-trial-star-is-porn/

Oh yeah, definitely.

Refactoring a code base is kinda like general maintenance for the application. Over time deprecated features, temp fixes, etc. start to be a lot of the code base. By cleaning things up you can make it more maintainable, efficient, etc.

That being said, for systems this large you usually fix up parts of it and iterate over time. Trying to do the whole code base is hard cause it’s like replacing the engine while the car is in motion.
