scandals on the net

bakit pinapayagan ang scandals sa internet

Hi bpljr. Pornography is not only morally wrong but also legally prohibited. although we have some laws punishing cyberporn and pornography spread on the Net, I guess these are not enough

here are some important notes

There are several laws that govern pornography. The general law applicable to cybersex or video sex scandals is the Revised Penal Code (RPC). Under the RPC are other laws on porn, including Article 200 on grave scandal; Article 201 on immoral and obscene publications and exhibitions; Article 202 on prostitution; Article 341 on the white slavery trade; and Article 340 on corruption of minors.

Special laws also apply to pornography: Republic Act 7610 or the Special Protection of Children Against Child Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act, and Republic Act 9208, or the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003.

Sex scandals propagated through DVDs, CDs or MMS clips are punishable by law. The persons liable are those who made the recording, those who spread the material and those who are the subject of the sexually explicit acts, provided they willingly participated in the act. Minors who are the subject of such acts are, however, exempted from legal sanctions.

Legal remedies are available to the innocent party. A person whose sexual acts, no matter how scandalous or explicit, were unlawfully recorded and taped for distribution, has no criminal liability and can file criminal charges against the guilty party.

The innocent party whose sex clips are leaked through MMS, CDs or DVDs, is entitled to damages since his or her right to dignity and privacy was violated. Article 100 of the RPC states that a person who is criminally liable is also civilly liable.

Independent civil action is allowed. Even if an offended party opts not to file criminal charges, he or she is allowed under the New Civil Code (NCC) to file a suit to recover damages from the criminal act. Article 26 and Article 32 of the NCC provide for relief on violations of one’s dignity, personality, privacy and peace of mind.

The distribution of a person’s private sex life through MMS, CDs and DVDs could fall under any or all of the following civil violations: (a) prying into the privacy of another’s residence; (b) meddling with or disturbing the private life or family relations of another; (c) intriguing to cause another to be alienated from his friends; (d) vexing or humiliating another on account of his religious beliefs, lowly station in life, place of birth, physical defect, or other personal conditions .

SMS are now considered evidence under the Law on Electronic Evidence. The Electronic Commerce Act or Republic Act 8792 was passed on June 14, 2000 to make electronic data message part of the rules of evidence. This law now allows text messages to be admitted as evidence.

legal po ba ang maglagay ng
scandals sa mga cellphone nila,

While i agree that propagating private videos of an individual might be an actionable wrong under our civil law, is it really criminally actionable to possess it? To my mind, possession per se of such materials does not make one criminally liable; the elements of grave scandal and other laws governing decorum and decency is not quite satisfied.

therefore kung napasahan ka lang ng 'sccandals', halimbawa, may kung sinong nagpasa sa cellphone mo ng scandal
or sabihin nating bumili ka ng dvd sa bangketa kung saan sangkatutak ang scandals,
pwede ka na bang kasuhan?
may nagsabi kc na bawal daw 'magdala', meaning ok lang daw pag sa bahay ka manuod pero bawal daw dalin sa labas
and mayron pa raw batas na inihain ang isang bacolod congressman na magbabawal maging ng possession ng ganitong scandals
madalas naming pagtalunan ng mga friends ko, kung maipasa ang batas na magbabawal sa possession ng scandals, hindi ba against sa privacy ng individual if the law will allow someone's computer files to be searched
pwede na bang halughugin ang bahay mo looking for dvds containing scandals
yan po sana ang gusto naming malinawan, posible bang dumating ang ganitong scenario, halughugin ang bahay at computer files ng isang private individual just to see if may scandals syang itinatago? eh pano kung ang scandal nyang nakatago ay sex between himself and his wife,eh di mapapanuod pa ito ng mga pulis na naghahalughog

anti-fencing law.... DVD pirates

hehehe hayaan nyo na yan. just be responsible.

wag ng ikalat. pag may nagsend ng sex video/scandal via bluetooth... just watch it and erase it after and condemn those who are passing it.... wag nating ipahiya ang mga taong nakita nating nakikipagsex sa phone lalo na kung alam naman natin na hindi sila prostitute. They did it for LOVe etc... who knows... hindi ba...

I hope the law will not be passed otherwise even the arresting officers are equally guilty

mere possession is not a crime because there is still no law punishing the act. this is in consonance with the latin maxim "Nullum crimen, nulla poena sine praevia lege poenali" (Latin, lit. "No crime, no punishment without a previous penal law"). It's a different story if you maliciously take, distribute or upload the videos. You may be criminally or civilly liable in accordance with the laws I enumerated above as long as the elements are present
