Extreme pornographers should be punished under the same philosophy as drug dealers.
Drugs too are a 'no victim' crime... until you look at the correlations between crime and drug usage. Do some research and you'll find that pornography usage is strikingly correlated with serious felonies (domestic abuse, rape, incest, murder...) as well as correlated with the development of many phsycological pathologies.
While I don't claim to know what is and isn't protected as a freedom of speech, there is certainly enough sociological evidence to show the addictive cycle of pornography parallels the addictive cycle of druge usage, all of which leads to criminal behavior.
So who are these pornographers compared to other 'clearly criminal' offenders? They are drug dealers--only a different kind of drug that is release in our mind instead of swallowed.
