For what it's worth, I LOVED the bit about watching the video and "having a wank".
I feel like the whole of your argument was pointing out that the Emperor (or in this case, the legislation) Has No Clothes. It's claiming to be one thing but actually something completely different.
I'm also very leery about the whole "possession" angle, as you say. God knows how much porn goes into my spam filter - I use a text-only email program so I don't look at it. There could be any number of illegal images on my computer. I certainly didn't put them there.
