I think there's a non-trivial legal and ethical difference between distributing material (whether as a sale or not, or for profit or not) and a child finding material that was distributed to an adult.
The equivalence with alcohol would be finding an alcohol bottle in your parent's cabinet. It's not the same as buying alcohol while you are 10, and it's in no way an excuse to allow the sale of alcohol to minors.
No-one is selling pronography to minors. I guess your analogy lends itself more to minors walking into stores and seeing pornography magazines and DVDs for sale, which happens everywhere all the time.
The point is it can be accidentally stumbled upon in many different situations, so why focus so heavily on a draconian online law which doesnt actually stop children from seeing pornography?
