You could only get that many, over time, if you stuck around waiting for them. He was guilty, and had little choice but to plead as such.

Someone could randomly send you/group an image, without warning, and you're classed as "making" it ?
The same with an email, how could you possible know what was in an attached image, until you opened it ?
