Unless there are many consumer -- only consumer too mind you -- complaints about how a product is being advertised and sold, the FTC does NOTHING.

You don't think consumers would complain? That's exactly why there would be trouble> It doesn't matter if the practice is legal or not - what matters id that consumers would feel they are getting ripped off. And you're right, a settlement would probably result and the adult industry would take another hit EVEN IF what was going on did not violate any laws. A recent example was Cybererotica having to decrease the monthly price for Mr. Skin because Mr.Skin wouldn't increase the monthly price on his main site. Consumers started complaining because they paid an extra $15 joining through Cybererotica and not directly through Mr. Skin (and of course the content was the same, just represented differently). This model is only asking for trouble - that's all I'm saying.
