I hate to open myself up to this, but I think the whole thing actually goes far beyond the initial post, albeit a great post. I really do not think the people who wrote the new regs, or laws that make no sense, are stupid. Usually many people are involved in the development of such laws and are certainly educated. The proposals are written with many interestes in mind. The most distrubing of which is the ones that adopt the form of 'give an inch, take a mile'. We give the inch and they take the mile.
If the new regs go through, think about that. It does nothing to prevent 'actual' illegal porn, i.e. cp, it invades the privacy of models, and most importantly, it invades the privacy of at home buisiness owners. When feds can simply show up and say, we're here at your home, comply or fry, something is wrong.
Have a look at what the patriot act sneaked in. Home invaisions while your not home...hmmm...
Unrealistic demands are being placed on producers, models, and webmasters with this one. If it goes through, what's next. It's a power struggle.
I'm not really sure what the govt is doing anymore, and that has nothing to do with whoever the president happens to be. I think whatever is going on runs far, far deeper than the superficial.
I'm also really disappointed at how effective the media/propaganda machine has affected so many americans. Most simply go along with or find a reason to accept laws and policies that, deep down, they know are wrong. 1984 anyone?
