Market thesis
From BoyWiki
The market thesis is the notion that child pornography consumers increase the market for child pornography production.
Deirdre von Dornum writes, "Because child pornography is free, widely available and easy to produce, it is not subject to the normal laws of supply and demand."[1][2] A 2012 U.S. Sentencing Commission report found, "Critics have contended that recent changes in Internet technology have undercut the ability of the criminal laws to affect the “market.”"[3]
A Senate report on child pornography observed: “the overwhelming majority of child pornography seized in arrests made in the United States has not been produced or distributed for profit.”[4][5]
