I would like to know Pestilence's opinion on that matter. Not like he has anything to do with CP, but he is a professional creator of a niche product.
How would increased piracy of his stuff affected his business?
Would his patreons just ditched him, and went for freebies? Or maybe majority would keep their support, despite that?
And also at the same time more people would learn about him. Obviously a lot of people would download his vids for free.
But I'm pretty sure there would be quite few in that group willing to pay, so he can do his thing, providing them with new cool stuff.
So there is a chance, he would actually profited from that.

Demand is bigger than supply. And I can see, how the same can goes for CP.

But...

This is similar to the soft drugs issue. Legalisation and slight government control seems to work. So maybe it is the right way for fighting CP.

But again! Porn is not the problem. The child abuse is. Don't you think free and easy access to CP could encouraged homegrown "producers" to do their own stuff and post it on the web?

As a side note, I've read somewhere, that porn industry was harmed more because of amateur porn, than illegal downloads.
