Let's say there was a law -- the MAJORITY of traffic will not want to pay -- you think they will pay? -- they will just move somewhere else to get their porn -- they will either move to p2p or encrypted porn or IRC or offshore or whatever -- #1 source of traffic is WORD OF MOUTH -- you saw how quickly Napster took over -- you pull some AVS bullshit law and something new will take over. Can you imagine the AVS companies complaining to the government that they are losing business to some other new technology? Haha... That'll be the day.
And remember the laws don't mean too much... look at how pervasive: copyright infringement, password trading, warez, etc. etc.
And you guys also forgot the challenge that the law would have to once again define what is "pornography" -- because of freedom of speech they will never be able to define it.
I'm not worried in the least -- we got half of world watching teenagers fucking on MTV all day long. AVS is the least of the governments concerns.
