The simple fact is that those that offer click and watch porn clips with sex and still photos with sex should be deemed illegal. If the violator continues then the hosting company should be forced to shut them off or that site blocked. (they block sites in China I’m sure we can do it here) This would be a strange way for the Feds to actually enforce existing copyright infringement laws (even though they don’t want to do that especially for our dirty industry). Without some sort of major move I am afraid that the sand in the hour glass is running out and those were the (great)days of our lives.

Dude, the subject line alone should give a moment of pause. When’s the last time Congress did anything to help anybody that wasn’t paying richly for it? I don’t really know much about the porn industry, but could there be another motive behind this? (Granted, we know it’s not really about protecting children). Doesn’t this have the potential to give CC companies and online billing companies more power to demand more transactions (thus more fees for them) under the guise of “age verification”? It could even mean LESS paid memberships because finding out what the site’s about may be too difficult or costly.

Call me paranoid, but I’m quite skeptical of any “help” the government offers. I mean damn, look at the “Patriot act”. And how well the bail-out and Cash for Clunkers schemes worked out. Who were the real recipients there?
