Actually, if our industry goes forward and goes public and says "for all the bitching about commercial porn, there is way more porn and CP available on torrents, P2P networks, open forums, and various youtube clones that operate without regulation" we might be able to get the public's perception moved. Putting the information out there, talking it up, getting media coverage, etc... is the way that you move something from the back burner to the front burner.
Commercial porn sites have no interest in running CP. Commercial porn sites have no interest in attracting minors (they can't buy, so why bother) and Commercial porn sites are in the business of selling porn.
Yes, commercial porn site use galleries and video clips as sales material, but rarely are these clips over 20 seconds long, and rarely are there more than about 20 pictures on a page. We don't give unlimited and wide scope access to porn for free. In fact (making ASACP feel good) there is even industry moves to create proper and simple tagging that would make it easy for parents to block out commercial porn sites.
Having the FBI go out and do a 2257 records search on a tube site or a torrent tracker site in the US might really shake things up.
Bad business is as much about not caring about the repercussions of your desperate grabs for cash and traffic.
