Who cares? Seriously, even if they are, who cares? The biggest problem with child pornography is that customers drive production of it which drives creation of it. But if some guy is using an anonymous ISP to anonymously download a file for free what possible impact can that have?

You might say that some people would get off on creating it and putting it up on the internet for free, but what's stopping them from doing everything but that last step now?

I don't think torrenting has an effect on it either way, but if you do please provide your argument.
