The problem here is that the assumption is being made that such virtual porn is a complement to real life activities.
With violent porn at least, the research seems to show that it is a substitute for real life activity.
Thus closing down Wonderland, if paedophilia is like violent porn (a reasonable assumption) is to increase the danger to children in the real world.

Dear Martin,
Please forgive the intrusion, I tried to send this to you privately, but it returned on me.
I’ve been following your blog for some time and wonder if you would mind answering a few questions. I’m a PhD student from the University of Aberdeen and I’m doing some research on online news work, particularly the social forces that are reshaping the public’s relationship to news media, the opportunities that the web has provided for innovation and new news management, and the ways in which news work and news-workers are affected by technological change. Would be fantastic if you (or anyone else reading!) could contact me at b.gotts@abdn.ac.uk
thanks again,
Ben
