Others for no reason are scared it will be regulated to such a level they would ban porn. Just like that banned porn in the US, UK, EU, AU, Japan, NZ and so many other countries. Maybe they are just scared their company would not survive. Porn on the Internet would though.
Thing is, THIS generation/government might not want to ban porn, but what if the next one does, whether it's 5, 10, 15, or 20 years down the line? Regulating what people are choosing to see is different from getting rid of the scammers & thieves, and I don't see how allowing a gov't to choose what free-thinking individuals CHOOSE to see, because it doesn't fit in with their views, is going to help us as an industry fight the scammers/thieves.
