I see this one more as fear mongering. Lots of these bills have been attempted before.
That said I do not sell adult products I am strictly in the martial aid business.

Martial aid? Like guns and flashlights or something?

I am more than happy to live anywhere else in the world than here.

I love how Sen. Lincoln said that the cost of protecting children shouldn't fall on the government but on pornographers because we produce porn... as if we were the ones producing CP. It is amazing how stupid people are.

Why pay taxes?

This is the point when the ACLU, Free Speech Coalition, et al, should start lobbying, not reacting only after it's made into a law. This industry needs to be more pro-active or we can expect other such assaults since it is currently politically expedient.

I would recommend that as a part of some of the webmaster and adult video industry events, in between the drinking and self-congratulatory celebrations, that people meet and discuss ways to build a cohesive and unified response to the current trend.

For example, we might consider asking people to add a voluntary $1 fee to their web Membership to go to the FSC or some new industry group. Other options would be for sites to voluntarily put $1 from every Membership aside for an industry Political Action Committee.

We should provide educational info to the surfers and Members about how we have come under seige, and then provide ways and means for them to get active or to support our efforts. A one page statement would be enough.

Likewise, the video industry could insert a 1-minute video along with publicizing a web site and/or snail mail address which could serve as a resource center for the public about what's going on and what they can do to support us.

These are just some suggestions. I'm sure some of you can come up with even better ideas if you put your mind to it. It's time to pull our heads out of the sand and stand up and meet the challenges that are confronting us, otherwise the attacks will not stop, but will only increase.
