I have one external hard drive labeled 2257 Info - if the DOJ wants to take it with them, I have the info backed up elsewhere; they don't need my other computers, or computers with anything other than 2257 info. Likewise, all of my 2557 is kept seperate from everything else having to do with my business - the inspections are supposed to be limited in scope and I intend to keep it that way.
I'm fully aware that there are some in the industry that like to be daredevils and moon the government at every opportunity. However, most other regulated industries have come to a point where they recognize that it is in their own best interest to organize in order to advocate for, and try and maintain what is in their best interest.
Sadly, it does not appear that we are anywhere near that yet. It's too bad if it takes several people being arrested, companies shut down, or models hurt, in order for some people to face the facts and take appropriate action to strengthen our industry's position.

You couldnt have nailed that down any better in my opinion.
The fact remains that although it may not feel like it the Online Adult Entertainment Industry is still very young, it's come a long long way from when it all began but it has a long long way to go. It's a baby growing (painfully) into adult hood, and one day when this 2257 law falls (not soon enough), and the numerous other things continue to change around us, we will all learn and continue to grow and before your know it it will be an Adult at which time even through healthy competition, disputes, bullshit and whatever else we are all consistant in being united because power is in numbers, we can be an amazing powerhouse in Numbers as in #'s not to mention as in $'s when combined to fight or deal with changes that effect everyone's well being.
