Random thought on child pornagraphy

Let's say you're real kinky and you started out young. Let's say you're 14 and you get it on with your sig fig. You want to be a grown-up, so you whip out your parents' tripod and JVC camera to film it. You have fun doing your thing. Afterwards, you hide the little video in a box labeled "Math Stuff". You forget about it and move on with your life.

Years later you move back into your parents' house because life didn't pan out as you thought it would. You're laying in bed, looking at the glow-in-the-dark constellations on your ceiling, remembering "the good old days" which, in fact, sucked. You decide to look for your old Stretch Armstrong. While you're rummaging through your closet, a box tips over and out spills your old VHS tape. 

Ah, this is interesting. Should I watch it? Sure, why not? You pop that sucker in and watch the 20 second tape from long ago. Then you repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Is this legal? You're in the video, so I'd think yes. But so is another child, so I'd think no. 

I know you can't own child porn under any circumstance (a famed journalist learned that the hard way. He was watching it as "inspiration" for the story he was writing).

I also know that it is illegal for a kid to take a naked photo of herself and send it to her boyfriend. The law is cracking down on that. 

So I'd have to assume that it would be illegal to have this tape. But what if, in this person's time, it wasn't illegal for them to film it? I don't think the law can  go back in time.

Either way, it's probably more than a little creepy to be thinking about this.
