      That will make it a little harder for him to destroy the entire porn industry, won't it?

      Wait a second here ... That would make it impossible! I find it hard to believe that the Liberal left on GFY could be wrong again.

                              Excuse me but did he say he was going to resign if Bush won? Um no. Did Bush say he would ask for Ashcroft's resignation if he was re-lected? Um no. Is Ashcroft's replacement MORE likely to go after porn than ANY AG candidate that President Kerry would have appointed? YES. How does if feel to be completely OWNED?

                                  I'm completely owned?

                                  In 4 years you can't point to a single reputable person who has been put out of business.

                                  The entire panic of "we're done for" is complete and utter speculation. As it turns out, John Ashcroft isn't going to be around at all.

                                  All that panic for nothing and you think I'm owned?

                                      They sued porn producers in the last 4 years. Previous 8 they didnt. Whats wrong with people.

                                      You've read it, you can't unread it.

                                          What matters is policy and enforcement; not the name behind the desk. Wait and see. This may just be putting on a fresh face, who can get away with more than Ashcroft who had burned too many bridges already.

                                          Do you think Bush will give the job to a pro-free-speech / pro-civil-liberities kinda guy? I doubt it.

                                            One guy didn't pay his taxes and got nailed for porn aswell. Lessons learned: Pay your taxes

                                            Some scat site was shutdown too. People shitting on each other and porn are not exactly the same thing.

                                            Truth is, nobody down, nobody out. Lots of people running around scared speculating though. Lots.

                                                All that panic for nothing and you think I'm owned?
                                                keep in mind, those new 2257 regulations are still waiting around the corner. will the new AG uphold the old regulations or adopt asshat's crippling new ones?

                                                    Just remember that Bush and his people appointed to office have nothing to loose. He can not run again, and very rarely will the next guy keep any from before.


                                                    Things can get much worse.

                                                      My point is that there isn't any political insider with any specific knowledge on this board. We're all political amateurs running around spouting our opinions.

                                                      "If Bush wins, Ashcroft is going to put us out of business" has come up a few times running up to election. I just wanted to smuggly point out, it's not possible.

                                                      Can somebody else be tougher on porn? Sure. Has the Bush Administration REALLY damaged the industry? No.

                                                        In 4 years you can't point to a single reputable person who has been put out of business.

                                                        The entire panic of "we're done for" is complete and utter speculation. As it turns out, John Ashcroft isn't going to be around at all.

                                                        All that panic for nothing and you think I'm owned?

When asked by someone that these new 2257 rules could cause a stalker to very easliy get the real name and adress of a model and put her in danger of being raped and killed a DOJ spokesman said and I quote "We don't care". Yep is all about the models "safety" isn't it.

I think if he had announced it people would say "there are more important issues" The further from 9-11 we get the more easily he could do his crackdown. It's a FACT if there was never a 9-11 Ashcroft WOULD have had his huge porn crackdown and anyone out there that thinks Ashcroft didn't have intentions of trying to get rid of porn is an IDIOT too the Nth degree.

It's just has hasn't. Despite what we might like to think, Porn is not the center of the universe. The Justice Department has been busy, like some have pointed out. They'll continue to be busy for the next 4 years too.

                                                                          It just strikes be as absurd when people run around making blanket statments like "we're all going to be put out of business" when nothing really backs this up. It's about as silly as all you guys posting about John Kerry being a shoe-in. How'd that work for all the speculative political analysts we have here?

In 2009, if there is/was no assault, then go ahead and gloat about GFY being wrong. But if even 1 person goes to jail (or is bankrupted fighting in court) because of entertainment based on sexual activity between naked consenting adults, then that's an unforgiveable assault on civil liberties. The porn industry is never going to go away, but the state may persecute individual scapegoats to satisfy the religious right, and that troubles me because I don't like my government putting american citizens on trial for offending the church.

In 2009, if there is/was no assault, then go ahead and gloat about GFY being wrong. But if even 1 person goes to jail (or is bankrupted fighting in court) because of entertainment based on sexual activity between naked consenting adults, then that's an unforgiveable assault on civil liberties. The porn industry is never going to go away, but the state may persecute individual scapegoats to satisfy the religious right, and that troubles me because I don't like my government putting american citizens on trial for offending the church.

I'm not a lawyer, I don't have a political background and I'm not a lobbyist. It MIGHT happen just the way people are saying. Maybe so. It is possible, I'll even admit it. I'm just trying to get people to really think through their situations instead of relying on all this speculation one way or another.

                                                                                          There's being prepared for something, and then there's just being in a panic. One is healthy, one not so much.

People begin posting in a panic asking if they're compliant, what they should do and how much it sucks. Before posting in a state of panic about 2257, how many of those people actually read through the proposed changes? Based on a number of posts I read, not too many.
