R v Fellows and Arnold
In R v Fellows and Arnold (1997) 1 CAR 244, the Court
of Appeal had held that a computer file containing data that represented
the original photograph in another form was "a copy of a photograph" as
per section 7(2) of the 1978 Act.
Therefore, downloading an indecent photograph from the internet was
"making a copy of an indecent photograph" since a copy of that
photograph had been caused to exist on the computer to which it had been
downloaded.
