The answer to that is perfectly obvious. Text based porn involving minors is easily detectable and is actually being much more self-regulated now by sites than it used to be before the PROTECT act. And you are right that drawn child porn has already been declared to be under the first amendment by the US supreme court. So why is drawn porn so prevalant and impossible to stop? that is actually the easiest question in the world to answer. and the answer is another question that I am supprised you didn't ask:
How, the fuck, can you determine the age of a person drawn??? I mean seriously. When it comes to a drawing I age is just an arbitrary number. I mean what can I really base my assumption on. Yes in written porn you will quite often outright say the age of the people in order to set the right image. but with a drawing it means nothing. Yes you can start to say that some stuff is obvious child drawings, but in order to press charges you need irrefutable proof beyond a shadow of a doubt that the person was underage at the time the drawing was made. I mean can you really wrap your mind around the task of setting exact standards for determining the age of a drawing, painting, computer generated image, ect? Put bluntly if anyone can really come up with a way to do it I will fully support the law that includes it. I say this because it is impossible, not because I believe the drawings should be illegal.
Dojin is something of a different matter. Often tiemes it directly states the age of the child involved. Often times it uses already established characters from a known serise. While I can't answer the first part the second is easy enough. Who is to say that the porn takes place at the same time as the series, could be 20 years afterwards and the character wouldn't be a minor anymore. Then you can have a character like Sasami Masaki Jurai(Tenchi Muyo)-900 years old with the body of a 9 year old. Last i checked 900 was well past the age of consent. So this all gets really hard to do as well. Canada, and the UK have done it, however their laws are abstract enough that if you have a drawing of porn, anyone just has to say that it looks underage to them and you can get fully charged.
>>20 I meant to mention this in
>>22 but if you look at this
8) “child pornography” means any visual depiction, including any photograph, film, video, picture, or computer or computer-generated image or picture, whether made or produced by electronic, mechanical, or other means, of sexually explicit conduct, where—

It specifically includes doctored images of real children. This means all those old fake Olsen Twins photos, and the newer popular fakes of Emily Watson are all totally illegal. More child porn.
