2257 is the federal government's attempt to use burdensome regulation to kill the industry, and is similar in intent to complicated zone laws used to keep adult movie theaters, book stores, and strip clubs out of certain cities. They can't say "no adult businesses", but they can sure make it almost impossible for meet up with the zoning requirements to get a business permit.

I see your points but these are elected officials the pressure gets great because free porn has grown 100x from what it is today. Trust me it will be gone, they wont end porn.They will just end porn on the net, it will go back to brick and mortar, cable TV where it can be controlled by adults.
I wont give examples but I can think of two very easy ways off the top of my head, without much effort.
