I don't know - does supply imply receipt?

But let's suppose that while they are making it available, they are not 
illegally supplying it if the minor doesn't drink any.

Like supplying alcohol to minors, it's illegal to supply content.

But unlike alcohol, it is also illegal simply to make content available, 
as stated in ss.2(2)(a).
