Well that is part of the issue.
If not then they are in violation of laws other than running a "non-nude" site.

And on a subjective note, the article reads, "including some as young as 8 or 9 ? wearing revealing attire and striking suggestive poses." If you have to look at 8 year old girls to get off there's something wrong.. and a 12 year old girl in fishnets isn't art.

I've already answered this in my post. CP does not = nude.
You can photograph a fully clothed minor but if you focus and zoom in on the genitals you can be charged and convicted for producing cp, it's all about context.
If the guys were taking photographs that are judged to be gratuitous in nature they will get the punishment they deserve.
Now regarding art your example of a 12 year old in fishnets is a bit one sided.
We all know the implied sexual overtones of any female in fishnets.
Now if you have a completely nude girl even younger than 18 in an environment that does not scream sex, that might be considered art. We can judge on an individual basis that it is not art, but it will be up to the supreme court to judge on a constitutionality basis and they have already done so.

I said it before and I'll say it again, as in many walks of life, there is a terrible understanding of the law in the adult industry. Misconception and misunderstanding can lead to a lot of trouble.

Yep there is a terrible misunderstanding of law in this industry and this does not exclude you.
