> Where's the crime? I never understood child pornography laws anyways. It seems that you can get in trouble just for *looking* at it. How is that wrong? You haven't caused the child to be in the pictures or videos or anything, and it's not like you've hurt it in any way. I can understand filming it being illegal, but looking at it?

The same think that's wrong about regular pornography, with the additional lack-of-real-consent. If you are looking at it, you probably paid for it, or someone else did; in doing so, you created a market for which it is feasible for someone to create such pornography. No, You did not force the child; but you are helping to make it reasonable and profitable for someone else to.
