Questão jurídica principal
Whether pornographic files stored in an internet cache can amount to possession of hard pornography under Art. 197 Ziff. 3bis StGB.
Decisão extraída
Cache-stored files may constitute possession when the user knows of the automatic storage and deliberately leaves the files there, showing control and will to retain them.
Fundamentação extraída
Possession of electronic data has objective control and subjective will elements. Automatic caching alone is not enough, but conscious retention of known illicit files in the cache is punishable. The prior practice excluding cache data categorically was abandoned.
