Thank goodness that the majority of people don't shoot in California. Mostly just the old DVD companies. Thousands of producers are throughout this great big world. It's gonna definitely cause a handful of companies who presume to be the "porn industry" to stop production in "Porn Valley"
But this ain't 20 years ago, and that area only represents the "porn industry" because things like AVN say it does.
I hope for the sex industry performers who live there that this gets squashed. At least the male talent part of the equation. They are gonna be in trouble.
The girls on the other hand, will just do what the strippers from the rest of the country do when they are hired to do a scene by one of the companies in Porn Valley. They'll get on a plane to the new city/state that the respective companies end up moving production operations to.
That's pretty much the short term "worst case" scenario. The current dependable male talent guys will either relocate to the new place, or find a real job as there is a line around the block everywhere else of good looking guys with the "talent" to keep their dicks hard too, who would love to break in the biz. (not saying everyone can, but I'm saying that there isn't any special magic food in Cali that makes it where only guys living in LA can fuck on camera...there are lots more in this big old world.)
Anyway, I hope it doesn't come to that. It would really disrupt a lot of people's lives. But as I've always said...IF porn were to become illegal in the entire United States, I would move to another country. There's too much money in this biz to just walk away and get in the unemployment line (especially in this economy). So I don't think most people would hesitate to simply move from California to a new base of operations. Companies do it all the time.
