To come after the industry over recordkeeping is just a political right wing appeasement tactic. I don't think any producer in their right mind would hire someone to be in a porn movie or do a photo shoot without getting all their ID's, etc. So I don't see it being very beneficial for the DOJ, because adult prosecutions are notoriously very difficult and time consuming to prosecute.

I think the guys creating extremely hardcore stuff shouldn't be doing that shit. It just creates more problems for the whole industry.

I think the chatroom perverts that show up at kids houses, like they've been showing and nabbing on NBC's perverted justice investigative series need to be put away for a long time. Those fucks have serious problems and most have jobs with access to kids so they are especially dangerous. This is where the DOJ should be focused right now, not out chasing records.

Bottom line result of this new effort will be to weed out a lot of small webmasters.

I think adult will always be a solid industry, but more and more regulations lie ahead and the cost and risks of doing business will continue to increase.

Personally, mainstream is where everyone should be investing anyways. There are lots more opportunities, a much wider audience to sell to, no hassles, and if you get lucky you can really get some great scores.
