Child porn.. dangerous territory. But, as Wings of Fire said, you can't build a legal system on ethical niceties. As long as nobody is harmed, it isn't prosecutable. You may not agree with it, but as long as nobody is actually being abused, there's shouldn't be anything legally wrong with it.

Drawing the line on a person's personal interests is never a fair thing, because it means legally imposing a person's opinionated point of view on another person, which in my book is persecution.

Also, the idea that it fosters more of the same behavior can be countered by saying that it provides the viewer a form of release. Cancelled out, yes indeed.
