Essentially nobody is really profiting from CP anymore. Maybe in the early 2000s that was true to an extent, some softcore studios in Eastern Europe were making a few million dollars for selling naked pictures of several thousand kids. But they were all shut down. A year or two ago every single one of the for profit CP sites that were known to the united states law enforcement community were shut down. If anyone is still actually making profit from CP, it would be producers in limited membership underground networks. Today the majority of damage from the demand for CP comes from a distribution structure that requires participants to submit group unique material every X period of time, or have their membership revoked. This is bad as these groups quickly exhaust the supply of non-original material, and effectively start revoking the membership of those who do not molest children to meet the requirements of maintaining membership and furthering their group collection. This is very likely to encourage their members to start molesting children once they are incapable of finding premade CP that is not part of the group collection. The funny thing is that if CP possession were legal, but not paying for it or producing it....both of these distribution structures would crumble (well, for financial profit is already essentially mythical in modern times).
