Here's an article from 2007 that might interest you
Maybe it's just me, but if I was in the industry I wouldn't find any of that laughable.
It is laughable because Democrats do the same kind of ****. Neither side supports porn, but neither side really does anything about it either.
Your article also states this "Internal FBI guidelines also encourage agents to focus on the most egregious violations -- material that depicts ****, defecation or sex with *******"
I can't think of anyone in porn that would support ****, defecation or sex with *******. Clearly when you don't work in the industry you have no idea what we do and don't support.
Wednesday, a group of congressional Democrats pounced on the issue, introducing a bill that would require Internet porn sites to verify the age of anyone trying to gain access and imposing a 25 percent tax on purchases made on porn sites.
"I think we've given them plenty of time and plenty of chances to clean up their act," says Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark. "And they haven’t done it. And my impression is they're not going to do it. There's too much money at stake."
But critics say the Democrats' bill would have little effect. They note that there are an estimated 420 million porn Web pages, making enforcement of the age verification requirement impossible. And since many porn Web sites are also based overseas, they're largely beyond U.S. control.
Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., the chief sponsor of the Democrats' bill and a ****** of 9-year-old twins, concedes the bill won't solve the problem and says anything government can do is secondary.
"Parents," says Lincoln, "are without a doubt the best line of defense for their ******** in trying to make sure they monitor what their ******** are watching and participating in."
But she says anything government can do to make parents aware of the danger is worth doing.
Porn Tax Opposed by RepublicansPosted on May 13th, 2008 by Blogerian
At the outset I would admire Republicans protecting sex toys, stripers, and adult movies, but it’s more to do with opposing taxes. California Assembly Democrats are mounting up against the porn industry. Like it or not the industry of sin brings in millions of dollars to California, it has a big employee base, and already collects revenue from taxpaying home owners. The argument against Assembly Bill 2914 is that it will drive the porn industry out of California, along with all its tax payers. Adult entertainment star Kayden Cross will be testifying against the bill.
I believe Legislatures in Sacramento are going to end up hurting rather than helping the dismal California budget crisis. Rather than bilking businesses, legislatures must stop the hemorrhaging of all the ****** tax dollars. Let’s see a massive overhaul in government waste, more accountability, and less punishment in the form of excessive unwanted tax.Maybe the “Bible thumpers” will enjoy the ****** on this industry, but maybe the religious industry had its tax breaks long enough, how about a prayer tax?
During the 1992 presidential campaign, Bill Clinton stated in a letter, “Be assured that aggressive enforcement of federal obscenity laws by the Justice Department…will be a priority in a Clinton-Gore administration.” Janet Reno, his choice for Attorney General, however, did not share his concern about obscenity (i.e., it was not one of her “priorities”); and by 1994 enforcement of federal obscenity laws against commercial distributors of hardcore pornography had for the most part come to an end.
