I had brought up a point in another thread about how TwistedSmile.com, and some other websites, went offline almost immediately after 18 U.S.C. 2257 was expanded upon. The vague legalese made producers and models alike afraid of their personal info being released to anyone who asked, so they shut down to prevent as much fallout as possible. Other sites vanished, or were restructured, due to the DOJ's anti-obscenity initiative during the Bush administration (basically, the FBI was tasked to go witch hunting).
What I would like to see are countries like the U.S. and England putting those resources into finding child porn and slave trafficking organizations, rather than attacking those that follow the letter of the law. And I'm sure some people would say "Well, they're already doing that!". True, but not to the same, or even more extreme, extent. Why go after criminals that can hide in plain sight when it's far easier (and maybe more profitable) to hit the people that are visible?
I agree...when it comes to children being endangered I'm ashamed at the UK's lax legislation. Shameful. And they try to say they're taking action...what a load of codswallop.
