I've helped the FBI get child pornographers arrested and I would do it
again.

But to answer your question the concern is for the children, they are
being sexually abused.

Consumers of child pornography are creating a market for it thus
encouraging more production which requires more children be sexually
abused.

There's really no way around that.

Splitting the hair of whether the actual perp paid for the material is
irrelevant, they can let their lawyer argue that in court if they like
but it's a weak defense (e.g., ad supported, same as paying,
whatever.)
