You're right, Kim. Self regulation, ala Wertham era for comic books, is probably not gonna happen due to the fact that this industry's segments compete against each other structurally. Example: it is to the TGP owner's interest to list galleries that show hardcore money shots with 20 pics since it brings the users to the tgp page. However, this acts as a disincentive to users to click on "softer" galleries' banners.
Maybe the rise and spread of TGP2 may change the situation or outside political pressure [more softcore to avoid legal issues]. The latter is definitely not a preferred option.
