The current assault on the Freedom of Expression is such that the defense of that Freedom is equated with the defense of Child Pornography which very few people are inclined to do. Particularly with 15 years in the slammer for mere possession of tainted imagery. Few commercial firms are willing to run the risk of pre-emptive seizure of their assets under RICO (the federal law intended to strip drug dealers of assets). Few commercial firms or prominent citizens are going to risk the wrath of the Righteous Right, the Politically Correct, and the Anti-Globalization crowd over such an issue. There are private citizens who are hacking into other private citizen's PCs with programs that seek out CP and transmit copies of such to law enforcement agencies. I don't see this site or any of the major firms going out on a limb in the name of perversity against the forces of decency.
