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?

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.

I still don't see why that should be illegal. Chances are if someone wants to make child pornography, they will anyways. Plus I can't see anyone having to pay for porn anymore anyways, what with the internet and all. 99.9% of websites are porn, and the rest are made by stalkers. And then on to the other part of the post, why is it wrong to create a market in which regular pornography is profitable?
