You have a valid point.There was a video posted on the Internet a while back of a man being
beheaded. Do you believe that the police should seek out all the
people who downloaded and watched that video, or would you be
concerned only with bringing the people who created it to justice?

Kiddie porn is big bui$ne$ - attack demand and diminish the potential for
profits while at the same time gathering intelligence that may eventually
lead back to the perpetrators.
So we are perpetually told - but without a shred of evidence toprofits while at the same time gathering intelligence that may eventually
lead back to the perpetrators.
support it. I know of only two cases in the past 15 years of people
who were convicted of creating child pornography for profit, and they
were caught PDQ. There is also the famous Landslide site that made
money out of recycling all types of pornography, child porn included -
but nobody associated with that site actually created the porn and so
the money was not an incentive to abuse children.
Think about it for a minute, and it is obvious that there *cannot* be
any significant Internet-based child porn industry any more than
heroin could be sold on ebay. The creation of child pornography is
illegal in every country in the World, and no matter how anyone
arranges to be paid, the money-trail is easily traced, and so nobody
could avoid being caught fairly quickly. Additionally, anyone selling
anything on the Internet must advertise their wares in some way or
another, and police officers can find child porn sites just as easily
as paedophiles (easier in fact).
Child pornography on the Internet *must* therefore be offered free of
charge, because that is the only possible way that the people offering
it have any chance of remaining anonymous.

Cynic
already
existing picture "has made a picture" is blatantly dishonest.All
they have done
is reproduce what exists already.
These pictures exist in many parts of the internet and rareley
is money requested.
The authorities are, whether we like it or not, prosecuting what
can only be labelled as
thought crime. There is no child under the control of the
accused except that which is depicted
and therefore no crime against a child by the viewer.All that
exists as a result of pushing the button
are newly provoked thoughts.If child pornography is illegal then
let those charged with such illegality
be prosecuted in an honest manner.
