6. The law has to be written in a way that doesn't target innocents
I don't think there are many people who think that child porn is okay. Lots of families take pictures of naked babies, it's sort of a tradition-something to show their prospective spouses and humiliate them when they are adults. At least that's why my parents did it.

The law needs to address the differences between pornography and pictures of naked children. They are not the same thing. Unfortunately, what determines the difference frequnetly is the intent of the viewer, not necessarily the intent of the photographer. It's difficult to write a law that addresses that.
