Do you have an example of a company being prosecuted for distributing CDs, or providing access over the internet which contains such content, to minors? I have to admit that I wasn't very successful finding examples of website owners being prosecuted for distributing pornogrophy. I'm guessing I wasn't looking in the right places or perhaps they just tend to be threatened since I know there have been changes in that industry (click-through age statements and whatnot) over the past couple years.
