Before you laugh and say there is no such thing as surfer paranoia, I've got a couple of friends who have said they aren't going to be joining any new porn sites for awhile because of fear of their name being found out and getting back to their wives. They said they would wait to see if Bush & company get smacked back down or if the right wing gets even more powerful.

I'm not at all saying this is a BIG factor now. It isn't. What I am saying is that it's something we need to be aware of. No matter how much we want to dismiss the ability to "frighten" people, the religous right is growing in it's power and abilities to do just that.

Sure..the "chronic masterbators" are always going to sign up. Those that still are leary of the net and especially identity theft/loss of privacy are now being given more reasons to be cautious.
I think it's got FAR more to do with identity theft and privacy concerns with the site operators themselves stealing their shit than the government. It's such a strange concept unless your friends are part of the tinfoil brigade or by close association with you are more knowledgeable about the govt's movements and therefore more educated than the average surfer. The other consideration could be the types of sites they personally enjoy. If i was a max hardcore fan i might think a little more about legalities of signing up than to playboy.com.

I just really don't think your friends are representative of your average surfer. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm sure the govt is a tiny tiny factor somewhere, as im sure el nino is. i just don't think it's going to affect signups until they start locking joe surfer up for surfing a porn site.. which isn't ever going to happen unless something so drastic happens that this conversation will be the least of our concerns - ie meteors destroy all blue states and every ACLU member and a fanatical doomsday christian cult takes over.

And even then they will be so repressed they will all have year long subs to euro sites.

Where have you been the govt has been making worse threats then they are now, they have always been threating... so according to you the perception should have always been there. Just because your two friends are getting freaked out about signingup to sites now doesn't mean anything about the rest of the industry. Don't you think perception would have been greater when they arested extreme ass. Don't you think the perception was greater when bush got elected ? everyone was just waiting for the hammer to fall. this is no different. this is business as usual.

And again, your friends logic is flawed...

they already signed up to adult sites, do they think the govt will not look back over the last 3,6, 12 months.... ????? so if they were logical people, which they are not, why stop now, their name is already out there. so either way they are fucked according to their beliefs... so why stop signing up ???
