The big problem is legally if you start prosecuting images of young girls where they have clothes on you have to go after the brick and mortar world that gets away with it as well.
There was a big case against the major book store chains about this very issue a couple years ago where they tried to prosecute Barnes & Noble, if I recall, for selling CP, because they had nude photography books featuring pre-teen and teen girls totally nude.
Barnes and Noble prevailed.
Then you have all the mail order catalogs, ad flyers and magazines that feature very young girls in bathing suits.
And of course you have the art world to deal with. Nude figurines, paintings, etc.
Then you have the legitimate young teen modeling agencies that have to shoot the girls in provactive poses for their portfolio sheets.
Then you have all those little girls pretending to be beauty pageant models that they've done shows and reports on.
Its a fine line and where do you draw the line? This is the problem with this issue.
