Once upon a time?.there was this guy that started an adult web site.... Sound familiar? It is about anyone who has ever done that.
This whole thing is about some high minded and power hungry officials wanting to boost their career by being known as ?The guy who killed porn?. Plain and simple, what happens here could be the foothold they need to make this entire industry illegal. It really doesn?t matter if you think what was done was right, wrong, stupid, or anything else. What matters is that now the whole industry is on trial. Politicians don?t care about anything but themselves and their career, and the best way to boost their career is with headlines and sensationalism. Anyone who works for a living usually lives at the standard of living they can afford, some have little savings, but few, if any put back 99% of what they make for ?possible? legal troubles. And this case will probably take 199% of what was generated. Brought on by their own mistakes, or by accident, or any other means is irrelevant, it is there now and it affects EVERYONE in this industry. Many of you are doing things that you consider normal, safe and legal. If the DA wins, it sets a precedent that everything you are doing now is illegal. That means you are out of business. Florida is in the spotlight, but there are 19 other states with similar attitudes and they are anxiously waiting the outcome of this case so the precedent will be set for them to ban all adult material because it will be classified as prostitution to commit a sex act on camera, and not acting. Every state will jump on the latest ?fad? and it will become national policy. Then what do you do, what does anyone do? What will other countries do under pressure by the US?
Restricted by every possible government agency you can think of, we are limited in what we can say here, but the battle rages on with us too. The officials don?t want to see the program/site up and working. Every obstacle imaginable, and a few I bet you have never imagined, are thrown at us everyday. Every time we beat them and pass their stupid audits, we get closer to kicking them off our backs. That makes us stronger in the fight that is in all our interest.
If they lose this fight it will also set a precedent, one that says ?leave us alone, we provide what the public wants.? That is what it is all about. They want to speak for the public. We want to have it on record that the public has spoken, with every join and every purchase of ANYONES content. It seams obvious to us that this is the case, but it does not help a politician so he wants a different interpretation. One that will make him more powerful and gives him more ways to make money off of the public he is supposed to serve.
Donate, don?t donate, your choice. Just be aware that this fight is about more than any one website. IT IS ABOUT US ALL. So anything you do that hurts this case, hurts us all too. Just the same, anything that can be done to help this case, helps us all.
And for all the "government officials" reading this...
