As the government monitors the Net closer, they will spot tens of
thousands of these people. They've already arrested hundreds of them.

* FBI sting nets over 200 arrests for child pornography
* 6/97 stat: 94 convictions, 104 "pending" convictions

It's not hard to spot them, and may I point out that it happens despite
free uncrackable encryption (PGP) being available worldwide for years.

Yeah, I know, it's heresy to try and suggest there's a category called
"child pornography light". Here are some sample cases of the broad base
of people involved:

* The New York Times, 3/6/97
* Minister Gets Probation in Pornography Case
*
* A Baptist minister who copied child pornography images off the
* Internet received three years' probation in exchange for his
* guilty plea to a reduced charge.
*
* He must pay a $1,000 fine, forfeit his home computer, not have
* any unsupervised contact with children under 17 and undergo
* counseling.
*
* The minister, 47, was arrested in January.
*
* Computer technicians at a repair shop had found 30 pornographic
* images of children in his computer and notified the state police.
*
* The minister pleaded guilty on Monday in village court to a
* reduced obscenity count, a misdemeanor.

Of course, the Feds are not prosecuting these as misdemeanor cases.

* The New York Times, 5/10/97
* Ex-Prosecutor Indicted on Pornography Charges
*
* A former deputy district attorney who has prosecuted sex crimes has
* been indicted on child pornography charges. Peter Harned was charged
* with transporting, receiving and possessing child pornography from
* July 1995 to July 1996.
*
* Mr. Harned worked at the District Attorney's office for 11 years,
* where he handled child pornography as well as homicide cases. He
* was dismissed last summer after he was arrested on state charges
* involving child
