On another note are you reading minds again? I seriously was thinking about this recently when a client in Canada called to have me do some research for him on a new Escort Site he wants to run....

I beleive the laws some places are really just meant to generate income and draw a celebrity status to prosecuters who use adult related arrests to put their name and cases in the press. For example here is our great tax dollars at work we have given out 100K's of dollars for these guys to find obscenity sites online for years and their work has resulted in not one successful prosecution.

I think some people on here should apply for that grant money to supplement their income and get rid of the bad guys internally - you would probably do a lot better job than these nuts who are probably now addicted to porn and geetting paid $100k a year for it.

Wow, it looks like with the two of you I could put together a little consulting group and apply for that grant. I am sure they would finally get a return on investment and we could all make about $50K a year extra.

This story has bothered me for months, actually outraged me.

Actually porn isnt legal outside of California - yet, perhaps Ray Guhn will prove otherwise.

But the difference between porn and prostitution in California is the case of State of California v. Freeman.

Even POV porn is illegal in California under Freeman.

The main issue everyone seems to miss is the contractual ramifications of the illegal nature of porn. While content producers may have a First Amendment argument against the government in a criminal case because of the artistic free speech nature of porn, this will not hold up in regards to content shot outside California in a civil litigation case. Courts will not enforce illegal contracts and in most states contracts for sex are still illegal.

Problem with the US is that you guys are way over governed. Too many levels of government have their fingers in the same pie. And even if you beat the rap in a criminal case (OJ)...you can still be harassed to death by a civil action after you have been found not guilty. Someday someone has got to do something about this hornets nest. I look at American "freedom" sometimes and shake my head. It seems you have the freedom to litigate, harass, carry deadly weapons, pay large amounts of money to fix yourself if you are broken or shot with said deadly weapon, speak your mind.....if you don't piss off Bubba, have sex between consenting adults (in most states). I guess life is good. Freedom, however, is better.

"freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose"

Indivisible - I guess if you like sex, toys or want to watch others doing it, or just perform it then your divisible. As the Buddhist say when you have different rules for different people you create inequality.

Why is it when you recruite people for entertainment purposes like dancing, singing, or modeling your called an agent?...
But when you recruit them for any sort of Adult Entertainment purpose,
Your called a pimp?...

Yea, and the "under God" part was never part of the original Pledge, and I never say it.
