This is wrong and an example of how the government is trying to thought police everyone. Regardless of the real crimes he was convicted of, convicting him for owning cartoon porn that has kids in it isn't right because it's not a crime. It doesn't hurt anyone.
You can determine how right this is by extending it to things closer to home. Drinking under the age of 18 is illegal, but we've all seen scores of movies depicting underage drinking. Marijuana is illegal, but scores of films and television shows depict its usage. By the same logic as the law being discussed here; anyone that owns a film like half baked should get convicted because the material depicts an illegal activity.
These pedophilia cartoons depict an illegal activity, and this man was convicted for it (regardless of the other convictions in addition to)
