I enjoyed Part II, especially the part about "cosmic balances."  But, 
if, as you say, any crack-down on child porn "will not slow the demand 
one bit," then even Pete's impassioned plea via 'A Different Bomb' will 
have zero effect on stemming the tide.

Therefore, Pete will forever owe the "cosmic balance" $29.95.  The pay-
ment has been made, the money is gone.  Pedophiles will always exist &
there will always be a demand for child porn.

Whether it's eradicated from the internet or not makes no difference at 
all.

I'm playing "devil's advocate" here, but still, it's an alternate way of
looking at the matter.
