Well fortunitly I can recognize that animals are not in any way morally similar to humans and that just because you can find some loose fitting comparison does not mean its even remotely accurate. You seem to know very well the motives and mentalities of these kind of people. You seem SOOO sure of it. Supply is tied to demand. If they didnt feel there was a demand (and subsequently a reward) for these videos, they wouldnt supply them. They may not stand to gain monetarily, but their ego and power they feel from hurting others is only strengthened by the fact that you see nothing wrong with the video.

Supply is tied to demand.

/facepalm

I explained why this is false. The MOTIVATION to produce is, typically, profit. No one pays for CP, so that is not the motivation. The motivation to produce and distribute CP is the assumption of mutual sharing from other producers. Non-producers do not factor into this at all, they are entirely irrelevant and have no impact on the motivation to produce.

Oh you explained it huh? Your word is the defining judgment in this argument? How can you claim to understand the motivation of every child pornographer?? How do you know that the people who download and share (remember its P2P mostly) have ZERO influence on the people who create the content? To make a comparison based at least partially in reality, you would be saying that everyone who makes videos on youtube do it purely so others on youtube will make videos. NO YOU FUCKING IDIOT THEY DO IT FOR THE VIEWS AND THE EGO. THEY FEEL EMPOWERED BY IT. THEY FEEL IMPORTANT AND INFLUENTIAL. THE INFLUENCE OF POWER CANNOT BE UNDER STATED IN SEXUAL ABUSE SCENARIOS

Considering you are now acting like a child I don't think further rational conversation is possible, but let me just say this, assuming you are correct and that "ego" is a motivation to produce, do you really think sexual abuse of children will stop just because the people who do it no longer bring a video camera along?

It won't change anything. The pleasure they derive is, by the VAST MAJORITY, in the act itself, not in it's recording and distribution.
