Child Porn is a Symptom and Not a Root Cause of Child Rape, Sex, Murder. In other words, looking at the images is not directly or specifically or exactly equivalent to trafficking and killing kids. Not all crimes are created equal. Bigger crimes should have a higher priority and penalty over smaller crimes. Long story short, the mere viewing of Child Porn does not create a time machine to go back in time to create the actual porn in the first place. The bigger crime is the source of the video. In other words, the actual making of a bad video is ten times worse than streaming the bad video. Now, yes, distributing bad videos is worse than just viewing the bad videos. So, there are three levels to it, the making of it, the distributing of it, and then the watching of it. Each level is worse than the next and should be treated as such.
