We may be largely agreeing, to be honest, but there are two main points : porn *is* restricted in the same way as knives. Children can neither buy a new knife or porn.
The amount of effort to open a drawer and find a knife is little different from typing 'porny preference of my choice' into google - both require deliberate action.
The copyright angle is clearly specious and driven by the porn producers, because prosecution for obtaining copyrighted porn without paying for it is very difficult. It's specious because much of the free porn is produced by the porn providers themselves - the fact that it's thirty seconds long instead of five minutes, and possibly lower quality does not stop it being porn.
