Feds trying to regulate porn....
 

I wasn't sure whether to put this here or in Tilted Politics, but here it is.....

On one hand, I can see WHY the feds would do this, but on the other, I think it's a bit unrealistic to assume that ALL the names and identities can be established. And what about web sites that feature amateurs? How do you keep up with all that?

So here's the question, is this just yet another way for the gubment to keep certain parts of society in check, and what will the end result be for the porn industry and it's end users?

This is more of a way for someone to try to legislate their morality upon someone else "for the sake of the children" than an attempt at federal mind control. Stick Adam Walsh Child Safety and Protection Act to it and what politician will speak up and say "what a fucking waste of time and effort".

BTW, what the fuck happened to Jena Jameson in that picture?

This is one of the most stupid thing I've ever heard of. I'm not a big fan of pornography, but this level of ignorance is astounding. I hope they fight this in order to protect the amateur market (a lot of my friends in college did the webcam thing to pay for school, which I fully support). If they break the law and don't keep their content from minors, then they can go after them. Pornography is not illegal.

I'm thinking the same thing. I strongly suspect that the Feds' intent is to make it more difficult, if not impossible to legally produce porn by making the regulations as burdensome as possible. I also suspect, strongly, that it's motivated in someone else's idea of sexual morality.

I don't really trust the NY Post to correctly identify anything, so I'm checking elsewhere.

My first choice for this sort of info is Fleshbot.
So, perhaps this is just the same old 2257 stuff?
OK, let's try Violet Blue:
Again, no evidence that this is something new.

Searching The Library of Congress (THOMAS), I can't find anything currently proposed aside from something having to do with Indian reservation voting dates.

I therefore consider this to be alarmist bullshit from the Post. Please feel free to cite something different, I'm all ears.

That's what a career in porn does to pretty girls: turn them into siliconized blow-up dolls.

I was thinking it was more because of extreme weight loss brought on by a combination of drugs and anorexia. Throughout her prime she always had a hot body.

The reason for doing that is because it WOULD be unrealistic. The way governments try to close businesses they just can't outlaw is to create restrictions & requirements that are either impossible to meet or make it impossible for the business to earn a profit. An example would be strip clubs. A city can say, yes you can open a strip club, but it has to be more than 1000 feet from any school, park or church. But when you look at a map, there may be no place in the city that is more than 1000 feet from any school, park or church.

As for the effectiveness, more porn would be on off-shore servers, where the law is unenforceable. Unfortunately, if the server is in a location where laws against child porn are not enforced, there's nothing to stop them from adding links or promoting CP from non-CP sites Americans would be looking at.

No, she had a lot of "work" done. It was a big point of controversy a while back.

Yea, that was then....this is now. Her mouth looks like it could flap in a breeze...

Anyway...
I recall one of the tv magazines covering how the feds check out porn. One scene actually had me laughing-about 5 or 6 nerdy little agents sitting in front of their computers scanning porn sites. That's all their job was.
They don't have the 'pinkos' to go after, they're still trolling for terrorists somewhat and the 'war on drugs' is a farce...gotta keep the boys working somehow, right? It's McCarthyism-lite. Porn's been around for hundreds of years, it ain't going away. Civilization hasn't gone down the crapper as a result, yet these federale's would swear it is....

In part because there are large groups of people who cece taking responsiblilty for their actions, their thoughts, to the nanny state.

we do not seem to do that here. :thumbsup:

It doesn't make me feel any better that they have been wasting their time and our tax dollars with it instead of just now starting.

And not doing anything but drawing a check from Uncle Sam's tit. If shit like this were able to reduce young children from getting into porn, it would be one thing. But it isn't going going to do dick because there is little if anything they can do to enforce this.

She needs a refund.

When there is no more porn in the US... I will just have to beat off on the federal documentation banning it.

It will never go away....We will not let it.
