The purpose of the upcoming regulation is very simple and obvious:
Their goal is to get the adult industry out of US. By "criminalize" part of, and actors (prim and secondary producers), in the industry, they force administration that many can't handle or afford.
I'm european affiliate, but know it will affect us all. As non-us affiliate, what will happen? We will probably avoid US adult programs, since the requirements to affiliates about all this documentation shit, and the work and time spent on it, will not be worth it...compared to income. No matter how selective the paysites are, about their affiliates, they may loose many good ones = less money. And of course 1st priority is to protect the models privacy, which means less promotion content will be offered.
CC companies and US billing processor companies might bend over for the new regulations, forced to be more strict about their partners. This may shut down many programs, especially smaller ones who can't manage their own processor system. Will we also see lots of payout holdbacks in the end of this year, as a result?
The US server hosts, have to become more strict, and they may loose customers to oversea hosters. Freehosts may be 100 % out of business, and TGPs will be filled with the same "safe" hosted galleries from some major big paysites. And who wanna trade traffic with a site that is identical?
And the worst part of all;
The same people they now will target, are mostly the same people who "fight" CP, by bringing legal content to surfers. By "criminalize" those webmasters, they open a new market, in "illegal" countries.
It's the same story again and again...let's dump the trash elsewhere. In the name of God, let's seduce the people and gain some votes
