true. but criminal convictions are only way to do the job.
and remember all those cases were in Los Angeles, take that Max Hardcore case to another state and it wouldn't have been a hung jury.

If they don't have much luck in the courts they can continue to have VISA do their work. American Express did it, i think if the government throws a bone VISA's way they'll be happy to cut off all processing for porn.

Then there's the IRS. Not sure how many US porners have been targeted for audits, maybe this hasn't happened yet. But it is a possibility.

They're doing the same thing with sports betting and casino sites. I think we all know how completely futile it is. Americans will continue to run porn sites, Americans will continue to lead the world in buying porn online.......and gambling........

but there will be innocent victims........we're already seeing it, notice how many people are giving up or trying to sell their small porn businesses? A $750 fee is all it took. I wonder if VISA had
made that registration fee $5,000 or $10,000 how many more would be getting out.
