Hi all

A story from MSNBC which is sort of self-explanatory in the title.

Global crackdown needed 
 
G8 ministers call for major fight against Internet crime 
 
Justice and interior ministers from the world’s leading
industrialized nations are urging a global crackdown against crime
and child pornography on the Internet. 

THE GROUP OF EIGHT ministers said while the Internet had brought many
benefits, the rise of hi-tech crime was worrying.
       “We urge that a solution be found to locate and identify
criminals who use network communications for illegal purposes,” said
a final statement after their meeting in Milan.
       “We stress in particular the alarming expansion of child
sexual exploitation...online,” the statement said.
       Japanese parliamentarians say their country is among the
largest markets for child pornography, with a large chunk of Internet
pornography produced there.
