AlienQ invented the profit model...
On a more serious note, I would love for the industry to set up an organization that seriously goes after copyright infringers. It would be in the interest of all of us in the online world, particularly the smaller ones, since I don't have time to send out DMCA notices, but would gladly contribute to an organization that would do this on behalf of Member sites (think ASCAP).
Also, FSC and the adult industry at large should consider making improvements to the laws instead of simply fighting them piecemeal - we'll always be on the defensive that way. Let's take some pro-active positions instead that will benefit us all.
For example, have the government devise an acceptable 2257 form, so that it is standard for everyone, instead of everyone coming up with their own forms, which may or may not satisfy the government.
Also, since the government says that we have to use only their governenment approved IDs now (and they are the one issuing the documents), and few if any of us are forged documents experts, why not have a system where talent registers with the government, and the Government maintains an online database of the ID pictures (with redacted personal info - i.e, address marked out). Registered agents and producers could log-in, and check the ID presented to them by the talent against what the government has online.
There would be no need for inspections then, since everyone would be satisfied that the talent working in the legitimate adult biz is over 18 (other ways to look at it are, how much do 16 teams of 6 FBI agents cost, and no one goes to jail over clerical errors or forged documents).
It is fairly clear that there will be a 2257 law of some sort, so why not see to it that the law protects our rights, instead of leaving us open for prosecution because the law is so hard to interpret. This is what other industries do. We may not get what we want 100% of the time, but it would be an improvement, and the government would realize that we are as interested as they are in keeping CP out of the legitimate adult industry.
