The notion of "demand creating supply" that underpins all these draconian old laws is simply not valid, because commercially produced child porn simply does not exist and hasn't for quite a few years. When somebody posts a old vid online, it's because they want other people to watch them fucking a kid. It's not because they think they're going to make money. They have no idea where it winds up, how many people see it, or any other damn thing. They just want the thrill of putting it out there. If child porn was a commercial enterprise, it would make more sense to target the consumers of it; but to argue that a child is re-victimized when somebody watches a video 10 years later, after thousands of other people have watched it, is quite simply a ridiculous bunch of nonsense.
For the record, no, I'm not a pedophile or a pedophile sympathizer, and I do not approve of videotaped child rape, so please don't waste any keystrokes accusing me of such.
