There are several problems...
First and formost is the safety of the models/performers. Now anyone who purchases content from a broker will have access to the models' personal information and location, putting her at risk (and her children, if any, whom this whole law is SUPPOSED to be protecting...I guess adult performers' children aren't entitled to the same level of protection as everyone else's in this country). All you need is a credit card to get content from a broker...there is no industry registartion for webmasters, so anyone can buy it and get that model's home address, and SSN if it is one of the IDs used.
Second is the webmasters' safety. With the exception of amateur webmasters, who are their own models and have the biggest risk of all, I don't think we are as much at risk as the models...however, that doesn't mean there isn't the possiblility of some holy-roller who decides to shoot porn peddlers rather than abortion doctors. Again, our children are at risk here. If they don't care about us and our safety, claiming that we make the choice to put ourselves in the line of fire by being pron webmasters, well, what about our kids? (Basically that arguement sounds to me like if the cops were to not persue any rape or murder of strippers or hookers because "they asked for it" by being in their field of work. Now that would cause one hell of an uproar, wouldn't it?)
I can deal with it being a pain in the ass to keep records of every url and whatnot. What really concerns me is the safety issue, and even more so, how the lawmakers involved in this decision have not an iota of thought towards the threat this proposes to adults who lawfully choose their line of work to be adult, and more importantly, their children that this law is SUPPOSED to be protecting!
Furthermore, it is hardly the amateur girl or couple who has a website and relies on promo pack exchanges for a large part of traffic that is perpetuating KP, so why are they the targets, in practice, of this law? They are the ones who are being exposed the most, and whose major traffic source is being torn apart.
I don't really have a position on gun control, but this reminds me of something I heard once about it: The law abiding citizens will suffer, because even if they follow the laws, the criminals will not.
