Are you really stupid enough to think that this would reduce forcible rape? Do you know what a booming industry this would become in some smaller countries? These people do not have Facebook or yearbooks. They do not even have access to computers.

Please explain to me how legalizing kidde porn would reduce the amount of kidde porn?

If that became a problem, the U.S. could simply eliminate copyright protection for child pornography. Thai producers could not turn a profit when faced with Mountain View pirates.

Im pretty sure possession of child porn is illegal. You don't need to mess with copyright protection at all. And widespread piracy doesn't stop the commercial enterprises, after all, Hollywood is the most pirated and massively profitable

There is virtually no piracy of Hollywood movies, at least in the U.S., thanks to their strenuous enforcement of copyright. If piracy were rampant, you could buy the latest blockbuster for $0.50 at Wal-Mart on opening day. (Hint: the actual price is jacked up one or two orders of magnitude by the MPAA's jack booted thugs.)
