Still photos (like JPGs) and compressed videos don't actually take up much space, and they don't take much time to transfer. Every so often we get a case in the US of child pornography being traced to a particular person's computer, when the real criminal had simply "stolen" some unguarded bandwidth. It eventually gets sorted out, but it's a major hassle for the innocent computer owner. (And, of course, more child pornography has spread.)
