there are a few smut peddlers that will be lightning rods and will probably take a bust.
and 99.9% of purveryors will continue as usual.
the reason for this is clear. ordinary people (who sit on juries) want porn, and they make their secret vote with dollars.
in the USA there is something called due process. certainly the attorney general can take an advocacy position---but ordinary people will determine the law, NOT the attorney general.
everyone can agree that if you walk into a bank with a gun, and walk out with money this isn't years you have committed a crime.
now, what about when two adults are fucking, and you make a movie of it, and sell it---is this a crime? some say yes, and MANY in 2005 will say no. TOUGH to get an obscenity conviction in USA---very fuckin' tough, no matter what jerry falwell says...because in america no matter how hard the government tries, it will be very hard to put a jury together of 100% undeducated bible toters.
very hard to get a jury without at least one college graduate, very hard.
and another thing. there SHOULD be some controls on "porn" because it is good for BUSINESS. most of you will not understand this.
