"Underage pictures" are not illegal. You can take, view and share pictures of young people engaged in many, many activities. What is illegal is pictures of underage sexual activity. The reasons for this are varied. * One is that the participants can not have given fully informed consent to the activity, or to the publication of the pictures. * Another is that, in probably every country, the activities photographed are illegal. * Another is that these pictures debase all involved - from the participants through the photographer and the distributor to the 'consumer'.... and they help to ensure that more photographs are taken. The pornography industry is very, very, market-driven. If people stopped paying to see this material, the supply would dry up very quickly. Every time someone, somewhere, subscribes to an underage site they encourage the abuse of a whole new set of victims.
