Some like it because it's illegal, some because it's children, some like the abuse aspect of it.

CP is illegal because mass media has spent years discrediting and lying about it. It's that simple. If we dispel the myths (such as economic funding of abuse, kidnapped children necessarily suffering in basements, CP inspiring to pedophilia or abuse, etc.) no real logical arguments remain to support the ban other than simple persecution of pedophiles. Other bans soon followed in some countries, declaring SM porn illegal in the same way. You've got a select few media owners who want everyone on the planet to jerk off to the same thing that he/she jerks off to, and he/she has the ignorant stupid masses for backup.
