There's no denying it is illegal - that isn't in despute. I am asking the question WHY is it illegal.
It does NOT fuel those industries at all.

Do you honestly think Pedophiles are making this stuff for commercial reasons? They are making this privately usually for their own sick reasons. That is a fact.

I cite the case of the recent banning of an album cover image on wikipedia by UK officials. The image was of a naked boy (painted I believe) - totally non sexual. But it was charged as being child porn.
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that if those who viewed child porn did not view it it wouldn’t be produced and distributed.
Later they decide to share with a friend or community but regardless if that community watches it or not, its still there.
How about thinking about the kids while your debating,

Now can ANY of you honestly say that none of you would eventually get tired of watching that same movie so many times? Does it mean that eventually, the movie will be changed to something else because the previous became boaring after seeing it again and again?
So with that in mind, do any of you think that these sickos wont become board with their cartoons and as some called it..fake child porn, seeing it again and again, that they wouldnt go byond that to highten the interest even more by doing something more than just whacking or stacking from pictures and drawings behind closed doors?

Well Im glad you all are so sure that its all harmless and nothing can come from it.
If all this wasnt a bad thing, then why does it have to hide. Why do the viewers have to hide. Why not flaunt it and show it and expose it for all to see and know who view such material. Or would that ruin the false pretense put out about the real person.
Because its socially unacceptable, its sick, its a mental instability issue, and there is nothing to prove that someone out there viewing this sh.. woldnt take it to the next level.
...remember Columbine? Or have you all forgotten. Those cracker jacks based their little shooting rage on a game...and the victims of that were all "Doom"ed werent they.
Well Im not going to try to justify my opinion on this topic to any of you
simply because I dont need to.
I am voicing my point of view on the matter and if that curls your whirl...oh well. Maybe go look at some toon porn or something and that will calm you down....or would it?
Sick...no wonder this country is so screwed up. Ethics have gone down the toilet along with decency and morals.

Oh there is a huge difference between some video game and getting tired of it and actually going out and blowing someone's head off....or is ther....

Obviously the material was considered illegal. Hence illegal. I for one am glad the decision was made because none of you here can absolutely show without any doubt that it would not have gone further than it was. Nor can any of you say without any doubts that it doesnt occur. Hell I cant even stay that it does. But you know what people, I happen to avoid problems, not throw myself into the wind like most do and hope for the best. I plan ahead and if it keeps my kids safe and away from crap like what this fella had in the pc, then you know what, my kids are safe and I could care less what others would think of my decision to prevent any possible harm to them.
Enough of this nonsense.
(disgusted)
