Internet Firms to Step Up Child-Porn Fight

NEW YORK — Five leading Internet service providers will jointly build a database of child-pornography images and develop other tools to help network operators and law enforcement better prevent distribution of the images.

lol, fighting cp by building a giant database of it. now how many pedo hackers you think are gonna try to steal that database? or rather, how many pedos on the staff for this project are going to 'accidentally' leak the database? or whatever.

sounds like they checksum the images, then if they find it flowing thru the network, they forward your info to the fbi (well, the 'National Center for Missing and Exploited Children' they say)

anyway >>4 is right too, change a pixel and it won't matter.

it seems quite obvious to me tho that this will have the exact opposite effect that they intend it to have. they want to wipe out existing cp with it, but then decreased supply = increased demand, and won't that just cause more of it to be made, exploiting more children, instead of just keeping the old pix around and not exploiting any new children?

but then of course let's keep in mind that kids are increasingly cutting out the middleman and making porn of themselves, by themselves, so the rate at which that comes out will probably make this whole thing largely irrelevant in the long run
