If you don’t see a direct connection between on-line adult services and crimes like this (sexual, drug fueled slavery of children), then you are willfully blind.
Do you not know that most porn sites traffic off of under-aged children? And those that don’t are in fact feeding on and supporting the illegal sexual abuse of minors?
Any pro-porn proponent should take their nasty sticky fingers over to DU and click with those types.
While not a proponent of this industry, I believe you are factually incorrect in your first statement. Some sites do this, but I believe it is a distinct minority. The penalties if caught are severe, and you can make plenty of money in porn legally.
Or you used to be able to, before free sites started giving it away.
As far as your second comment, there are lots of "barely legal" sites that would certainly qualify to make your point.
Or so I'm told.
Need links so we can study up. Otherwise this is hand waving so links to other hand waving sites don't cut it. We're very objective.
Seems like law enforcement would have the porn sites shut down in a flash if they can be tied to child actors. Even if overseas. If RIAA can do it over copyright infringement, why can't the FBI?
