This stuff? It is for mainstream. It is for the movie and music producers who are on them. No matter what you might think or what they might "hint" at it is most certainly not for the adult industry. They don't give a shit about us unless it is to prevent our sites from coming up in non-adult keywords or to get rid of the "spammers". And often we are considered the "spammers" rightly or wrongly.
The movie and music industry actually has large trade groups which lobby the government and threatens to sue. In adult the people at the top are the pirates. It is not hard to see. Why would Google save the industry when we [collectively] don't seem to give a damn ourselves?

I agree completely. When it comes to lobbying the Gov't, if I had the resources (like a PussyCash or a Reality Kings) I would setup my own damn lobbying 'group' in Washington D.C. and claim I represent 'the Industry' (me) and lobby the fuck out of the most Conservative Bible-belt Congressmen. I would also partner with a Parents Group and lobby Congress from that angle with the slogan "No More Porn At The Dinner Table!" I'm talking PSA's, mainstream advertising, the whole shebang.
The Adult Industry should forget "piracy" and instead focus on becoming the Leaders of Eradicating Child Pornography and sex slavery/illegal prostitution around the world. And to accomplish these things (the lobbyists would say) the way is more control over access to porn. The 'pirates' would be swept up in this and be a secondary casualty (even though they are really the primary target).
The 'winners' would be content producers. Tube sites would have to abandon their 'user upload' policies and go content providers only. Oh - and what about sites that won't comply with US law? Time to figure out a way to BLOCK that website from within the US. The US does own the fucking Internet, after all, and we know you can block entire countries.
