"Child pornography is great," the man said enthusiastically. "Politicians do not understand file sharing, but they understand child pornography, and they want to filter that to score points with the public. Once we get them to filter child pornography, we can get them to extend the block to file sharing."

The date was May 27, 2007, and the man was Johan Schlüter, head of the Danish Anti-Piracy Group (Antipiratgruppen).

"We must associate file sharing with child pornography. Because that's something the politicians understand, and something they want to filter off the Internet."

The copyright industry lobby is actively trying to hide egregious crimes against children, obviously not because they care about the children, but because the resulting censorship mechanism can be a benefit to their business if they manage to broaden the censorship in the next stage.

Well, looks like somebody thinks of the children; but only as a tool for financial benefits. By doing so, the lobbyists of the entertainment industry are actively profiting from child abuse; they even seem to be happy that it exists because it gives them a sledgehammer argument: if you hate it, you need to support censorship. If you are against this censorship, you obviously are a sicko.
