FBI has launched a nationwide probe into child porn trafficking over the P2P networks in the United States and so far FBI has investigated over 1,000 cases and have arrested already more than 65 people.
FBI's actions indicate that pedophiles have moved from Net's chat rooms, discussion forums and private web servers to the seemignly anonymous P2P networks. Seemingly because none of the P2P networks have managed to create truly anonymous file sharing service as of yet, which is easy to prove by investigating the lists of individuals who have been sued previously by the RIAA.
The probe, which is a co-operation between various American law enforcement agencies, has resulted to arrests related to distribution of child porn and in some cases sexual abuse of children.
"No one should be able to avoid prosecution for contributing to the abuse and exploitation of the nation’s children," Attorney General John Ashcroft said.
