He refers specifically to possession, which is true. The arguments against it tend to be very similar to the arguments against piracy (they even include the whole "illegal prime" concept). He does not say that producing child pornography does not hurt anyone however.

I don't think the same logic that is applied to piracy can be applied to child pornography as possession of child pornography has the added caveat that the subject within most likely did not give informed consent to it being made.

I do not see how this changes anything.

Well by possessing Pornography of someone who didn't want it made, you have to have obtained it. By obtaining said pornography another person is now in possession of compromising material of someone that they didn't consent consent to the production of, by having more people possess the material, the issue becomes worse.
