There's a pesky little thing called the U.S. Constitution which would prevent that kind of shenanigans.
I say the sooner that Pornhub and all of their sister sites, along with file share sites and bit torrents full of stolen content are BLOCKED from the U.S. porn market...the better.
Nothing will be "censored". People will just have to pay for it again.
If you took these theories that equate stopping people from stealing with "censorship" and applied them to the REAL world...then we would be arguing that making it a crime to break into your home and steal stuff is "censorship"
The only "freedom" being taken is the "freedom" to steal. And the only "censorship" is that people will have to PAY for porn again.
Doesn't matter what the thieves try to do...the U.S. market is THE most lucrative porn market in the world. Block stolen content and the whole thing changes.
And no...it doesn't matter if porn.com is full of full length porn scenes that they actually own...they will quickly find that they have slit their own throats by doing that when this law is passed because they will have devalued their library of content.
People like different stuff. And the guys who love the Naughty America sites will now PAY for it. The ones who like FTV will PAY for that. They aren't interested in Pimproll's sites...just like the guys who are interested in Pimprolls content (which is great by the way) could care less about Naughty America or FTV.
I see a lot of theories and "what if's" being discussed.
But how about what piracy has already DONE to this biz? It's time to stop it. And if it means that we lose our "freedom" to just take any goddamn thing we want on the internet for free? Then so be it.
I'd rather see you all making great money again and be able to AFFORD to pay for what you need.
