“Asking the county for a time out before enforcement seems like a reasonable response and the county is likely to give it since they have to figure this out as well. Although, again, it ain’t rocket science. You’ve already got a health inspection process in place and people request a permit in order to make a film. Again, make producers responsible for enforcement and the fine. Require them to submit a copy of the shoot on DVD or electronically and have an inspector fast forward through the footage. ”

Nobody wants to regulate porn. You do realize that the number one reason porn is distributed so freely in this country is because it is so emotionally draining to regulate. Talk to any obscenity investigator and they will tell you two things happen when you are constantly inspecting footage: you will become aroused and/or tolerant towards the material or you will be constantly sickened and generally jaded towards human sexuality. Either way, the individual costs on the investigator are too high for porn footage inspection to be welcomed initiative by regulators.

All of these performers are claiming that they will move to Nevada to perform and so will the industry. Won’t Nevada just enact the condom laws statewide that are in effect for the small area of the state where prostitution is legal. Also, isn’t New Hampshire technically the only state where shooting porn is legal. Remember, Nevada despite voting for Obama has a very large and vocal Mormon and senior citizen population.

Second, Diane Duke says she is going to sue on jurisdictional grounds. She says this is a state issue and not a local issue. She does not say that talent are independent contractors; that they know the risks when they take the job; that condoms lead to more STDs and not fewer STDs; that its a violation of her FIrst Amendment rights; or any of the other arguments tweeted.

It may be. I have no idea who determines health regulations in California. It may also be her best strategy. However, it also invites the state to get involved and mandate condom use state wide.

Their biggest hurdle is the hostile workplace suit that’s going to follow from female health inspectors who are offended by all the porn in the workplace or the health inspector who refuse or burn out on the job.

ANd another HUGE mistake. First they say the industry really cares about perfomrers. Then in their next sentence they say, “We will go underground and make things even worse for performers in you pass this Mealure B” Oh yeah, thats a good campaign slogan. What a bunch of morons, and not to mention the performers they had out their repeating, and tweeting this stuff. Remove gun from holster, aim directly at your own foot, pull the trigger, empty the clip. These guys, especially the lap dog performers out spouting this stuff, believe too many of their own lies, and thats the real problem.

All of the preaching to the choir, and tweeting are hardly an effective campaign. The industry had the endorsement of the major newspapers, business associations, and even the requblican party, and they still couldn’t wage anything that even resembled an effective campaign. They told everyone that the multi billion dollar industry(lol)would be ruined, but they could not even raise 1 million dollars to fight it. And 1 million is just 1/10th of one percents of 1 billion. The people of LA saw right through the lies. James Lee stated that the porn industry brings 1BILLION dollars LOCALLY, through taxes and ‘other services, . What an effing moron. 1 “BILLION LOCALLY” Really? The average person is smart enough to know that it is NOT safer to have sex with a condom, regardless of how often someone is tested.
