As long as you aren't distributing it, uploading it or saving it to your harddrive you're not really breaking the law.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28673702 Oregon has an interesting opinion on that: [ link to www.oregonlive.com] " The Oregon Supreme Court: (standing from left to right) Rives Kistler, Martha Lee Walters, Virginia Linder; (standing from left to right) Michael Gillette, Paul De Muniz, Robert Durham and Thomas Balmer.
The Oregon Supreme Court ruled today that it’s not a crime to look at child pornography while surfing the Internet if none of the images are purposefully downloaded, printed out or paid for.
The high court said that while some states have specifically outlawed “viewing” child pornography, Oregon lawmakers only did so if someone pays for it. What’s more, the court ruled that simply looking at photos on a website does not mean a person “possessed” the photos.
“Looking for something on the Internet is like walking into a museum to look at pictures — the pictures are where the person expected them to be, and he can look at them, but that does not in any sense give him possession of them,” wrote Justice Michael Gillette, after reviewing a case of a Eugene man."
