Following some of the links in that article, I read that one expert is concerned that the photos may have already been posted to pedo sites & groups. This worries me on two fronts: first that some very sick people are perving over a real, live minor and could be motivated to do more than just fantasize and second, that artists might be considered "accessories" or "enablers" or whatever the legal term is if their work found its way into some child molester's collection. Say for example Dirty Old Man X goes thru someone's Rendo gallery, downloads a ton of naked Aiko fairies or Hiro elves or what-have-you -- heck, maybe even fully clothed renders of Matt & Maddie at the Annual Poser Picnic -- and uploads it to KiddyF***ers Dot Whatever. All without that person's knowledge and certainly without their permission, mind you. Some time later Artist Y gets dragged out of bed in the middle of the night by the cops, who proceed to search his house and seize his computers because suddenly he's a felon. Probably even got his name in the Sex Offenders registry too, from which it will likely never be removed. Guilty in the Press and the Court of Public Opinion even if a judge & jury should find him innocent.

All because of a stolen piece of art that a pervert used for porn.
