but it is in fact an organized industry! Did you perhaps not know this?
But child pornography laws make no distinction between photos from some organized industry and photos of some 17 year old taken of themselves. Just as they make no distinction between those who are paying for the material and those who are not. Given your theory, that would be an important distinction, no?
It's not just the lone man taking photos at home.
Russian and Ukrainian criminals are unfortunately involved in most forms of exploitation and abuse of women and children.
Sounds like those people need to be arrested and punished.
There is a clear link, as proven by research, between trafficking and abuse.
Wait, you say there is a link between evidence of a crime and the crime itself?!? I'm shocked! We should make it highly illegal to possess evidence of any crime! There's a clear link!
I did some studies of this in Law school here in Europe, perhaps you don't read the same research materials and law journals as me?
Apparently not. Just based on that statement alone, I'd say you are an expert in the child pornography field.
It is in fact all about the money because there's a market for it all over the world. From deviant Japanese to Americans/Europeans.
Sure. Of course there's no way we could ever verify this, because it's all so highly illegal. I guess we'll just have to take the authorities' word for it.
The Internet created a new and larger market due to the anonymity.
Anonymity involved with payments on the internet? Do you have any idea how rare that is? The percentage of CP busts at this point that involve financial transactions are minuscule. Most of these jackasses are caught through p2p progams and email attachments.
