Two lines of interest to me and the one that will kill it.

On the other side of the battle, the adult industry has about zero clout in Washington and is an easy target.

Welp that is very true.

Many porn sites ask visitors if they're over 18 or 21, but there's nothing to stop people from lying. Nor is there a system to make sure that children aren't simply using their own credit cards -- or their parents' -- to gain access to pay sites.

Funny how the people at Wired understand this, yet so many webmasters do not seem to.

You cannot have that (porn) tax anymore than you can have a special tax, on, for example, Methodists," said Marilyn Ireland, professor of law at California Western School of Law. The precedent goes back to the 1930s and the Huey Long era when Louisiana tried to muzzle pesky journalists by levying special taxes on larger newspapers. The Supreme Court told the state to forget it.

And lastly the nail in the coffin regarding this. Nice try but no special tax for us.
