Maybe I should have been more specific. My post was not about the discussion between you and Joe but that it seems to be unavoidable that CP pops up in such discussions like nazi comparisons pop up in political discussions (Godwins Law) and about obscenity laws. Maybe it was kind of OT.
When it comes to law I am definitely a fundamentalist. Laws must be universal or they are just arbitrariness. Unfortunately that arbitrariness is that common that we accept it as natural.
There is a worldwide consent (something rather rare) on banning real CP simply because it is based on a real crime and there is a victim, not because it is disgusting, pervert, sick, immoral, whatever. Of course those basically reasonable laws developed into full blown hysteria and insanity with time.
When it comes to porn ?obscenity? allows the majority (or even a minority) of people to limit the speech of a other group based on taste or personal moral opinions, and that is censorship. Imagine the situation would be the same with religion or politics.
Regarding the initial topic of this thread the only question is: Was the creation of that content itself a crime, did a crime happen on that set? If yes the content, as a result of that crime, is illegal also. If not: If you don't like it don't look at it.
