Re: for some definition of paedophile...
"looking at pictures being a crime is a step too far."
That's the same defense given against the ivory trade. "it's okay to buy it because I am not directly killing the animals". The fact is that if you stop the demand the supply will dry up. By people actively viewing the images (and a lot of the time paying for them) they are only encouraging more abuse Images to be created, meaning more children are being abused.
Of course stopping people viewing the images does not stop child abuse outright, but if the lack of advertising (which is pretty much what it is) for child abuse means that one less child is molested by someone that's a win in my book.
