    why doesn't anyone want to address this?

    How serious is this Pornography crackdown?
    I mean they are talking about fetish being obscene and almost every other genre being obscene or having ramnifications of million years in prison.

    How serious do people in adult believe this is or are the lawyers just loving the fearfactor they are able to place in us by writing these heavy articles?

    Are we in deep shit ?

    Please give your serious replies with no B.S.
    as this is a serious matter for the thousands of people on these boards.

              Very serious matters.
              I would not personally invest any more money or time in adult sites.

              Between visa and goverment pressure I do not see the small / medium sized guys being able to make money in the game

              It will come down to offshore ( but can you get processing) and the vivids ( hotel pay per view) syle porn that is available in the us

                  I welcome a government crackdown.

                  I'll make even more money.

                  I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                  I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                      They have to prosecute obscenity in your local city/state. How are they going to win in places like Vegas, LA, NY, etc?

                                  Very true but if you cant get a site approved by visa/processor what does a obscenity charge matter?

                                      It doesn't really matter because there are archives and unfortunetely they can go back for many years and prosecute you for things you have done ten years back.

                                      I think this country is very unfair for letting you do whatever you want for as long as you want then they come start screwing with you whenever they feel is time especially when they don't give you solid rules to follow..

                                              Fortunately for us those things that the government attempts to criminalize become all the more appealing for the consumer. All we have to do is find the alternate billing sources and perhaps out of country servers if and when the government should ever make porn illegal.

                                                      Also,there is no running,if they want you,they will get you.They went all the way to Australia to raid the owners homes of Kazaa.

                                                                                              Come to think of it, weren't you the same guy who was talking to the boys down at Vivid, saying something like, "The era of X rated movies has come and past us, we should start looking into something a little more mainstream."

                                                                                              Until Christ himself comes to rule the Earth you are going to have porn bro. Not only will you have porn, but it will be more and more pervasive. 5 years ago we were jailing women for wearing G-String bathing suits in Santa Monica, now you'd look like your grandma wearing anything more than that.

                                                                                              If you want to leave then go ahead. But don't go yelling fire when there isn't one and no one else is getting up. You look like a jackass.

                                                                                                      Everything goes directly to the bank for deposit or wires and you have a visa debit card to take out your money and the company pays you as a consultant so you are claiming taxes.

                                                                                                      Simple really.

                                                                                                          If you don't own the site and someone else owns it offshore then that person needs to run the company and recieve all the benefits not you. That person should not employ you in the U.S. either.

                                                                                                          Like I said"No affiliation whatsover" if you want it to work.

                                                                                                          Another words it is what it is basically,either you are truthfully out of the country or your not and I would highly recommend against trying to build a sham to shield yourself because it would only make matters worse for you because now that becomes a conspiracy,avoiding taxesd and the whole nine yards.

                                                                                                          If you don't want U.S. laws to apply to you then you really need to go and become a citizen of wherever you feel comfortable doing busines.

                                                                                                          Like I said "it is what it is" you are either here or your not,you can't bullshit the government.Especially with this new law that Ashhahahahaha came up with,they can snoop in your emails and everything else and they probably allready are.Unfortunetely they say its for terrorism but they are using it against thier own people.This country was beautiful,its starting to get a little on the scary side now.We are loosing our freakin free country status in my opinion.
                                                                                                          SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
