Stuveltje...you are correct...if parents did what they accepted responsibility for when they had children...most problems we have in our biz would not have happened...the scrutiny just wouldnt be there...and loads of children wouldnt be exploited by parents....of course its happened since long before the internet...there used to be magazines(probably still are) that sold under the guise of natural sun living and contained hundreds of posing nude children...and Im talking under 10 yrs old...been around for at least 50 years ... and Im not saying its right cause its not. I have reported numerous cases of cp to ASACP submitted to our list and recieved back thanks many times from the FBI and other agencies...and love the support of ASACP(ok little free advertising here) cause they tend to try to clear up the differences between the scum and the people that try to make a living at this legally and they do it in big ways in major media articles etc. I always recommend even doing the paid support of them to make sure they can keep doing what they are doing.
With the advent of the internet, as well as the swapover from BBS's to web pages by alot of people there were loads of people I knew that got caught up in some problems due to not being able to discern the performers ages...and they ended up spending alot of money to protect themselves when they hadnt done anything wrong to their knowledge....now with the 2257 rules, we have pretty clear rules to follow in the US, unfortunately it doesnt apply in most other countries.
Recently there has been some movement between some of the European countries and the US to be able to prosecute people overseas and it is definitely growing.
As was mentioned here though....the people fighting cp have to draw a line, otherwise they would get overwhelmed and not be as effective as they are with the hardcore cp sites (and they do get excellent results)
sorry...fingers just kept going
