Too Many Records
How much harder is the Bush administration going to come down on what it sees as ‘obscenity?” According to the new legislation they have, they’re trying to make it more difficult for anyone in the business of porn to stay in business. In essence, they’re trying to force them out via mountains of paperwork and red tape.
Most particularly, they want every company that produces or displays porn (yes, this includes sites like this, or the hundreds that we have linked to) to keep detailed records on each of the performers. For movie / photo shoots, no longer will an id and paperwork cut it. They want the name of the performer, along with every alias she has used, every movie she has performed in, who she performed with, and when. In addition, any other media must be cross-referenced. So as a porn site, if we have licensed Jenna Jameson pictures in a gallery, we must also track all the above information.

Needless to say, those in the biz are outraged. And rightfully so, I say. They’re doing this under the guise of “protecting children” but the pornography laws already in place do that quite well. As far as I know, there’s been no case of an underage performer taking part in the business for over twenty years.
