This is a slightly different issue because stuff like cp is not that safe to buy and you need to be pretty desperate to do a monetary transaction and lose anonymity. Sure there will be people who just want to support creators but this is kinda dangerous.

In any case, when you are fully satisfied with enough content there is not much desire to buy something new
this is the more likely reason why the porn industry is dying, they just do not have any new ideas to produce as we already have more content than we could ever consume in multiple lives.

Amateur porn is moving into niche areas since nobody will ever buy plain sex today.

If CP downloading and hosting was legalized we just had no more need to make new content because there is enough already. I guess it may be shifting to the niche areas as well, with more extreme acts.

If we think about homegrown products being posted on the web this is actually a good thing because you get a better understanding of what is going on and also why anyone would object criminal posting evidence of his crime online? What it is good for is same stuff happens behind closed doors and nobody ever finds out about that? Even if you don't find the criminal you at least get some statistic.
Imagine if rapists or robbers started posting their videos online, that would make police work much easier. I would even slash the prison time in half for those who were nice enough to post evidence on their own initiative LOL
