Yeah, but they will try and chase that cat away from their backyard

I think some kind of crack down is due.

The reality is there is a lot of things that have gone on to much. I am surprised the feds want to go after more then just KP. Let's face it they have not done a great job handling that. It is rampant.

I would like to see a CDA 3, one that can pass Constitutional muster. If it elminated tons of free porn, and required certain record keeping this would help the industry.

This quote makes the most sense to me:

Drew Oosterbaan, chief of the division in charge of obscenity prosecutions at the Justice Department, says officials are trying to send a message and halt an industry they see as growing increasingly "lawless."

There is lawlessness in this industry, and its not just with obscenity but also with theft, credit card fraud, copyright violations, etc...

We have shown as a industry we cannot police ourselves - that we are racing to the bottom... so the Feds are going to intervene. If they do it with a scapel rather then a meat cleaver most of us at Oprano will benefit from it!
