Media identifies correct culprit in "Kids See Too Much Porn" study - amazing!

Well, as I understand it, after watching several pieces on this new study the past few days on cnn and msnbc, they identified the top two sources of kids seeing unwanted porn.

The first was filesharing programs and the ads they serve.

The second was instant messenger programs and the ads they serve.

Both p2p and IM programs are heavily marketed to minors and young people, are they not?

Shouldn't the makers of these programs have a legitimate respobsibility to not market porn to minors?

I think a reasonable argument can be made that the makers and distributors of these types of programs shouldn't be marketing porn when thy know full well that a large percentage of their downloaders and users are kids.
