There are countless arguments that can be made against this comparison. Among others:
>commercial cp production has been dead for decades, it's all made by the children themselves or by 'hobbyists'
>nobody actually pays for it in the digital era, this stuff gets shared for free online (anything asking for payment is a honeypot)
>the kid is getting raped either way whether there's a camera or not, despite what hollywood claims there's no children getting abducted for production of this shit, just recordings of children already being abused
>consumption actually reduces abuse rates, just like how normal porn reduces 'normal' rape
>modern cp busts never lead to producers being arrested
>data can be reproduced infinitely, meaning a tiny supply can sate the demand of a huge audience, hindered only by distribution troubles (entirely caused by law enforcement)
>removing supply without reducing demand causes a need to create new material (in the same way drugs have incredible financial value precisely because they're illegal and thus hard to get)
>none of the claims apply to various alternatives (petite porn, ai-generated stuff, 3d models, drawings, stories) yet they're still all gradually getting outlawed everywhere
Sexual abuse is already illegal, and we don't blame people watching gore videos for violence happening.

Criminalization of images and videos isn't about protecting the children, it's about control. Other laws criminalize acts; these laws simply require being in a certain situation (e.g. having stuff planted on you) and not knowing about being in that situation is not a valid legal defense. Basically, you are committing a felony when police searching your home decide you're committing a felony by finding the USB stick they brought.
