My personal opinion is that I hope they crack the fucking whip and knock the the slackers and 1/2 assess out of business and only the strong and organized will survive. You will know who these people are by the ones who respond to my post by telling me to fuck off. If your shit is together, you have nothing to worry about.

I agree with everything you wrote except the second paragraph there.
The LAST thing our industry needs is for the government to succeed and plaster the headlines all over the place about how many pornographers were caught "Breaking the law", and how the new regulations to "Protect the children" are working...even though not ONE child will have been saved from the big bad pornographers. That's how it will be spun in the media, and we'll all look worse because of it. The public isn't going to look any further and see that the laws that were broken were only clerical errors...only that the government is succeeding in it's mission to save the children by prosecuting scumbag pornographers.
Online adult marketers are so closely associated with cp distributors by the general public that many of them simply don't differentiate anymore. It's been drilled into their heads that we're all one in the same. While there will always be opponents to pornography, if the government and media made a clear distinction (a direct conflict to their agenda mind you), I believe there'd be much fewer people opposing us, because they'd realize what WE'RE doing ISN'T illegal, and the government would have a much tougher time passing laws like this without actual justification.
