I. Introduction [1] Matthew David Spencer was charged in an indictment which read: MATTHEW DAVID SPENCER, of the City of Saskatoon, in the Province of Saskatchewan, stands charged that between the 31st day of August, A.D. 2007 and the 20th day of September, A.D. 2007 at or near Saskatoon in the Province of Saskatchewan did: 1) have in his possession child pornography to wit: images of children under the age of 18 engaged in explicit sexual activity, contrary to 2011 SKCA 144 (CanLII) Section 163.1(4) of the Criminal Code. 2) make available child pornography, when he did make images of children under the age of 18 engaged in explicit sexual activity available to other persons through the Internet, contrary to Section 163.1(3) of the Criminal Code. [2] Mr. Spencer appealed from his conviction on the first count of the indictment and the Crown appealed from Mr. Spencer’s acquittal on the second count of the indictment. [3] Following a brief recitation of the facts, I will address each appeal in turn. In sum, I would dismiss Mr. Spencer’s appeal from his conviction on the count of possession of child pornography and allow the Crown’s appeal from Mr. Spencer’s acquittal on the count of making available child pornography. II. Background Facts [4] Like the offender in R. v. Trapp, 2011 SKCA 143 (released concurrently with these reasons), Mr. Spencer obtained a number of computer files containing child pornography, both pictures and video, from others over the internet through his use of file-sharing software. Mr. Spencer used the Page 2 file-sharing software known as “LimeWire”. He retained the files he had downloaded in a “shared” folder on his personal computer and others were able to view and download his collection of child pornography using the same or similar file-sharing software. [5] It is important to understand how file-sharing programs like LimeWire function. A file-sharing program can search the shared folders of all of the computers which are running the same or a similar program and which happen 2011 SKCA 144 (CanLII) to be connected to the internet at the time of the search. The shared folder(s) on each of these node computers serves as a separate repository of files which other users can access using file-sharing software and from which other users may view and download files of their choosing. A file-sharing program usually accesses only the shared folder(s) and no other part of a node computer. A file-sharing program searches the aggregated shared folders of these node computers only for files which correspond to the search request input by a user. It is the file-sharing program which creates the shared folder on the user’s computer and which then saves downloaded files to that folder, usually without overt input from the user. However, when such a program is installed on a computer, the user can typically adjust a number of program settings, such as download speed, the order of presentation of search results, etc. With LimeWire at least, these settings include whether or not to share files; however, the default is set to share files (i.e., LimeWire will share the user’s files unless the user tells it not to do so, either at installation or some later time). Page 3 [6] At 12:46 p.m. on August 31, 2007, by using file-sharing software similar to that employed by Mr. Spencer and other publicly available software, Constable Darren Parisien (now a Detective Sergeant), of the Saskatoon Police Service Criminal Intelligence Section – Vice Unit, discovered files containing child pornography in the shared folder of a computer which was using internet protocol address 70.64.12.102 (the “IP Address”) to connect to the internet; however, Constable Parisien did not know who owned the computer or where it was located. Using yet other software and a database 2011 SKCA 144 (CanLII) compiled by another police service, Constable Parisien determined the IP Address was one of many assigned to Shaw Communications (“Shaw”) for use in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. [7] On the basis of this information, Sergeant Deb Altrogge, also of the Criminal Intelligence Section – Vice Unit, wrote to Shaw: Constable Darren Parisien … is investigating a criminal code offence pertaining to child pornography and the internet. We have opened [sic] file investigation in relation to this investigation. Pursuant to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), we request the disclosure of customer identifying information including but not limited to name, internet service provider records, address of service, current service status and phone number relevant to the following: 1.
