Re: Amazing!

"CHILD PORN NEEDS TO BE STOPPED." - This was not the point of the article. The point is that there is a federal crackdown on the file sharers. That notwithstanding, I do agree child porn should be stopped. I'd guess that the gratuitous mention of the RIAA in the article was done to produce lots of talkback.

Now, as to your "facts"
1. "Recording Industry Association of America executives--who have long sought to close file-swapping networks for copyright infringement--also began citing the dangers of child pornography on networks such as Kazaa." The RIAA is trying to stop file sharing because it CAN be used to share copyrighted materials. Note from the sentence, they are trying to shut down the networks themselves, thus stopping ALL file sharing, not just copyrighted materials or child porn.
2. Agreed, but kinda obvious.
