An unhappy American!
Not every porn niche has complete global saturation. Sure, the guys that are into twinks will have plenty of non-US options. But the guys that want to see husky men are gonna be pretty pissed if huskyhunks.com disappears. Multiply that by 1000 under-represented niches and you will have millions of pissed off people that can't find what they want.Quote:

Wow! I didn't mean to start a feud with my comment. All I meant by my observation was that if someone doesn't understand the niche, they will never make a site that will fool the true fetish lover. I'd like to see someone from one of those former USSR countries attempt a husky bear site. It would be hilarious. ;)
You're right.. and the black market would be run overseas for sureQuote:

This whole 2257 thing has sure brought out some bizarre undercurrents from people. When I first read the news I would not have thought that people would be presenting so many conspiratorial theories as to who benefits and who suffers.
The 2257 law is something that Congress passed in 1989, and via the horribly inefficient and unweildy federal legal process it is only, sixteen years later, being presented as an enforcable rule. (first i think that speaks well to the efficiency of the federal gov't) I would say that it is impossible to know now who will ultimately benefit from just the announcement of the new 2257 regs.
My point was that even if the government tries to stop a commerical activity where there is a demand, the black market economy will appear to meet the demand. Even in the United States. I'd say that plenty of people in the US make money from internet gambling.... it's just all off the books.
If the government raised the minimum wage to $10/hour - people would still be paying others to work for them for $6.50/hr --- it would be under the table. Government can exercise moral decisions by passing laws to stop porn or enforce workplace standards or living wages, but the amoral market always prevails.

just read the title if you want to see how the news media treats you. this story, btw, was on yahoo and several others news sites. it sure makes us look bad - as usual.
has anyone ever considered that what we really need is to band together and hire a publicist?
"Porn Industry Sues To Prevent New Child Porn Rules
Regulations Require Pornographers To Keep Records Of Performers
POSTED: 11:20 am MDT June 17, 2005
UPDATED: 11:42 am MDT June 17, 2005
DENVER -- A coalition representing the porn industry asked a federal court Thursday to block new regulations requiring pornographers and distributors to maintain records of their performers, arguing the rules could stop the distribution of material produced since 1992.
The regulations, which were approved by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales in May, requires producers to keep detailed information that verify the identify and age of their performers, including their date of birth, legal name, and copy of a picture identification card. The rules were approved in an effort to stop child pornography and ensure the performers are not minors.
Producers have 30 days to comply with the changes, which take effect June 23, or face up to 5 years in prison for the first offense and 10 years for each subsequent violation.
The Free Speech Coalition, its chapter in Colorado, a pornography distributor, and adult film producer filed the lawsuit seeking an injunction in U.S. District Court. According to court documents, the plaintiffs argue that the guidelines are unconstitutional and would do little to protect children. An enormous burden would be placed on producers and distributors, they said, to maintain unnecessary records of adult material dating back to July 3, 1995.
The regulations could stop distribution of adult material such as films, pictures, books, and magazines that were made since 1992, the plaintiffs argued.
It was unclear why the lawsuit was filed in Denver.
Jeff Dorschner, spokesman U.S. Attorney's Office, said he has not seen the case since it was filed late on Thursday.
"After we review it, we will file a response in due course with the court," he said.
An after-hours message left at the California-based coalition was not immediately returned.
The California-based Free Speech Coalition represents more than 600 businesses and individuals in the adult industry. The producer and distributor involved in the case are also from California."

Yahoo is so fucked. They still advertise adult in the non US market. What a bunch of losers !
Well I can see the media hyping it that way, what I don't understand is why the FSC didn't respond to set the record straight... so much for protecting the industry in my mind... that is simply irresponsible to allow an opportunity like that go by ignored... after hours or not.
just my opinion though
Ian
I'm a member of the Free Speech Coalition. I believe I spoke my mind against Yahoo as a member of the Free Speech Coalition. Isn't that what it's all about. Free speech and the first amendment.
Ian, you said we shouldn't "think" we know Canada. What makes you such an expert on the U.S. ?
So you were the one they left a message for?Quote:

Suxian - this is not a yahoo story. it is an AP story, and it was released in most major news sites and papers. i also read it will be printed in forbes.
