Is our industry ripe for an attack?
Here is a list of things that concern me when in comes to our industry.
We have a insane amount of blatant copyright infrindgements going on by a vast number of the companies.
We have a constant supply of lotteries and contests that ignore all state contest rule requirements.
Just about nobody goes through the trouble of validating who is signing up as an affiliate, from age to real social security number.
Aside from a few weak organizations, and thanks a lot to assorted squables and industry politics we have no representation or organization what so ever.
At times it seems that we almost promote the idea of using assorted payment methods and the like to avoid taxation.
Many seem to think they are either untouchable or that nobody will ever really come after them and most do not remember history at all.
Many of our programs and the way we do business could very easily be tied up in a RICO style case in the event that something does happen, just due to our normal business models.
We do very little to self police ourselves.
Many keep trying to push boundries even further than what many of even us consider out there, and to top it off they often publicly flaunt it and taunt certain organizations and groups.
And those are just a few of my concerns. There are of course many more, and no this is not some the sky is falling type of post. Just some topics that I wanted to address.

I can not recall a day when Adult Entertainment was not under attack from not only the GOV but our own.
