'There is no commercial child porn industry'

[You cannot physically abuse children on the internet. But you can look
at pictures or movies of child abuse and trade them. "Of course
paedophiles use the internet to trade child porn," says lawyer Udo
Vetter, who has acted as a defense lawyer in hundreds of child porn
cases. "But there is no such thing as a commercial market." ... There
is no effective system of money transfer for the distribution of
illegal pictures and movies. According to Vetter, "you simply can't
receive millions of dollars online anonymously." Money flow is
monitored by the authorities of many states, including the USA. ...

According to Vetter, none of his clients ever paid for pictures or
movies. 80 to 90 percent of the files found by the police are
identical. "Some of these pictures are 30 to 40 years old." In contrast
to the claims made to justify net censorship the amount of child porn
available on the internet is rising extremely slowly. None of these
pictures and movies have been produced professionally (the only
exceptions being movies with teenage victims which may have been legal
when they were produced). ...]

Kinder kann man im Internet physisch nicht missbrauchen. Man kann
allerdings Aufnahmen von Kindesmissbrauch anschauen und tauschen.
"Natürlich bedienen sich Pädophile des Internets, um Kinderpornographie
auszutauschen", sagt Rechtsanwalt Udo Vetter, der in mehreren hundert
Kinderpornographie-Fällen vor Gericht verteidigt hat. "Es gibt aber
keinen kommerziellen Markt." [...] Vertriebssysteme für die illegalen
Aufnahmen würden bereits an einem effektiven Geld-Transfer-System
scheitern. "Man kann nicht anonym online Millionenbeträge empfangen",
sagt Vetter. Geldströme würden von Behörden vieler Staaten, darunter
die USA, geprüft. [...]

Kein einziger seiner Mandanten habe je für die Aufnahmen bezahlt, sagt
Vetter. Die Dateien, die bei unterschiedlichen Hausdurchsuchungen
gefunden würden, seien stets zu 80 bis 90 Prozent identisch. "Teilweise
sind das 30 bis 40 Jahre alte Bilder." Anders als in der Debatte um
Netzsperren suggeriert wird, erhöht sich die Anzahl
kinderpornographischer Aufnahmen im Netz also nur äußerst langsam. Und
dabei seien die Aufnahmen mit singulären Ausnahmen, bei denen die Opfer
im Teenageralter waren und die möglicherweise legal entstanden sind,
nie professionell produziert worden, sagte Vetter. [...]
