Uh WoF, I don't think they would advertise on a page wide ad saying in big bold red letters that they are looking for people who want to see child porn or whatever. It's prolly more along the lines of "Looking for people for an experiment" and they'll hear what it's about when they signed up and they can always decide to go away. A small background check is run on whoever is left and anyone with a history of child abuse is scrapped off the list (if only to make the results more accurate) and any other people who don't match the criteria.

Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it can't be used to do research or whatever. Where do you think The Coca-Cola Company gets their spent coca leaves? There's only one place in America that's allowed to handle Coca leaves and the cocaine that's extracted from it. It's illegal anywhere else but they have gotten an exception.

Exceptions can be made for all sorts of stuff as long as the proper paperwork is filled in.
This is what I was trying to say in the first place. Except I have a tendency to get angry too easily when people say stuff that is obviously wrong, e.g. "You can't use CP for research into CP because it's illegal".

@WoF: Please quote to me the policies that you refer to. And a sane experimenter wouldn't include a description of the experiment in the ad.
