Here's a novel approach. Just be compliant. Jesus Christ people. Every industry has rules and regulations imposed by them from the government, especially industries that can affect children. (alcohol, tobacco, television, film) Please spare me the free speech soapbox. This isnt an issue of free speech. Distributing a DP scene on a tgp is not free speech. Im curious how many of you free speech warriors are mebers of the ACLU? There's a reason why real civil liberty groups such as this one have not taken up the 2257 cause and left it up to the "FSC". This industry has proven to not be able to regulate itself and now its paying the price for that, much like other industries (tobacco) in the past.
If you're an affiliate, either pony up the bucks and purchase you're own content and keep the required documents or show only softcore.
If you're a content producer, you'll have an even larger potential customer base of people needing new exclusive content.
If you're a site and are worried about losing affiliates who cant comply, how about actually doing the work yourself and stop depending on affiliates to get signups. Get rid of the middleman. If you're a smaller program and cant afford to do this. Tough. Deal with a smaller members area or buh bye.
As someone previously said, this is survival of the fittest. This industry is 5 years past due for a massive overhaul that is needed. Affiliates, stop depending on $50+ payouts for distributing weak old content. Program owners, stop depending on charging $40 a month for shit content. I find it laughable that the people who are donating money to the FSC and then say they are fighting for the industry, but at the same time delivering an inferior product at unreasonable prices to the end consumer.
Sorry for the rant and maybe this wasnt the thread for it, just sick and tired of people in this industry screaming "free speech" while they package and sell shit to the consumer and then bitch when the government starts to regulate.
