The treatment of Sex Entertainment, by both
Morality and by the
Law, is a function and a reflection of the prevailing treatment given (by both) to Sex itself.
It seems unlikely that Morality will cease to opine on Sex any time soon.
And, insofar as the Law has yet to demonstrate itself lucid and rational enough to depart from the Moral baseline of the moment (in matters of Sex) -- even when the intellectual argument for doing so is very strong, I would say the Law will remain an instrument of Morality, as regards both Sex and Sex Entertainment.
To consider your hypothetical scenario, one would have to also know whether the change had arisen from a shift in the governing Morality, or whether the Law had broken free of (popular) Morality, in order to assert a HIGHER GOOD -- as with the abolition of slavery and accompanying civil rights advances.
If the Law
were leading, and I agreed with the direction of the change, I would support the Movement, as a
movement, in my personal life -- via communication of the Ideas and the Argument, to anyone who'd listen.
As a marketer, however, I would have to (separately) consider the commercial viability of whatever it had suddenly BECOME LEGAL to sell.
If the Law had leapt too far ahead of
popular demand, it might not make sense to offer NEWLY LEGAL products for which no market yet existed -- unless, of course, you were not accountable to conventional business principles, and were free to use your products as vehicles of propaganda, unconcerned for revenue, profit, etc.
IF/WHEN I EVER find myself in a position to offer a product, LEGALLY, to a receptive market -- I will, until the cows come home.
Ultimately, all that remains, for any of us, is to answer the question: Can I live with myself? The answer to THAT question decides everything I do.
