I applaud what you are doing though - it might be a good desicion in the short run.
Very simple:

1. "Click here to see her get fucked in the ass in hardcore anal videos!" while showing a nice firm ass. No pink needed. A good text link does wonders. We advertise, not provide free goods. Traffic will be less but actual sales will be no different.

2. Traffic won't die off if you know how to gain new traffic.

You, surely of all people should know these things. You're an effective advertiser. Put your ad skills to work and gain those sales. If you show softcore content you can just about sell to anything if you work your ads well.

Foreigners won't have any advantage over US TGP webmasters. If they want to do business they will have to comply as well or face the possibility of being cut off by their sponsors, billing companies and/or cut off at the pipe.

I honnestly see this part of many TGP's switching to non explicit a good thing. It's something we needed for a long time to even the playing field and get back to what our job is, selling. It's just too bad they are doghousing us all into it. Should have been done on our own terms, not the government's.

US webmasters will survive just fine. Rework your biz model and make the best of it. There will always be money to be made, even if your traffic drops 50%... you'll still get the same sales... maybe even more because it's not solely the content that sells, it's also the ads. Just tell them what they will find, they click, they land at the paysite tour that shows the hardcore stuff.. "woohoo, fucking! About time!" and they join...
