All sites will be subject to producing documents that comply with US law 2257.
To get a license cost what it costs to run and enforce the licensing system. License cost will relate to the size of the site and the sites will be reviewed.
Some companies like Manwin would lap it up and join right away, along with all the other big guys. Because everyone who can't afford or get a license, loses the traffic. Also free porn becomes a thing of the past, affiliates won't be able to afford the costs.
And they can add what ever other stipulation to getting a license they wish to.
The German law is a joke, Germans surf sites in other countries.

Exactly.... So many options, already tested and in place, all over the world.
If a state here tried to force it, it would go before the supreme court, which has already said porn is protected under free speech. Limiting that free speech has already been tested.....and lost, which .xxx would do the minute filtering was added. Then we have the copy and trademark issues, which would bind this up in the courts for decades.
More reasons why .xxx will never be forced.
We have a much bigger chance of being forced into a rating system, like movies and music use. Something that is already in place, used widely, and accepted by the public.
