Since possession and distribution is apparently illegal, we don’t know whether any more is produced or about ancillary effects, which strike me as the important issues. I’m not sure whether 30 more people downloading child porn points to a real problem or rather signals that agency is trying to make itself look more important (and probably justify a higher budget allotment). I sure wish data like these were put in clearer context.
