No, not "everything below 18 is considered as CP." Only stuff meeting this definition:

"(A) the production of such visual depiction involves the use of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct;
(B) such visual depiction is, or appears to be, of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct; "

So, a tasteful nude of a child (e.g., a cherub on a cathedral ceiling, or the famous Coppertone bare butt girl ad, or a David Hamilton photo, or a simple figure study) is not CP, because of the lack of "sexually explicit conduct."

This is why the non-nude teen sites get by. Unfortunately, a lot of those sites appeal to the wrong crowd. As usual, when you believe in the First Amendment and freedom of speech and expression, you have to tolerate speech and expression you don't like. The alternative is to give the government permission to trample on rights you cherish. It's always been that way. It's why we permit the American Nazi Party and The KKK to march and hold rallies. Without the assurance that anyone can exert those rights, we can't be sure that the Libertarians, the Sierra Club, and even the Democrats and Republicans are assured the right to exist and practice.
