How do you see that working? Seriously. Who will pay for it?

It amazes me when pornographers want to give control to the government to censor the internet.

And it amazes me EVEN MORE when they think that this will in ANY WAY impact, slow down or stop piracy. Is there any law that has been passed ever that has slowed it down?

What does slow down piracy, as we can prove with music, is providing a better alternative.
I had to open it to read what babble you would be coming up with.

How did the world exist before people were allowed to upload anything to a publishing medium? Very nicely thank you.

Creators got paid the price they asked for their work or people had to steal it in a lot harder ways than they have to now. Musicians, writers, film makers, programmers and even pornographers made lots more money when people couldn't just steal their content and put it up for free distribution to millions.

As for censorship of the Internet. There are few pornographers who wouldn't campaign for it. They would all have a party if it happened. It would mean people would have to pay for porn.

Free porn will still exist. Manwin has enough money and licenses to close down all submissions and restrict their free tubes to only their own owned content. This isn't censorship, it's enforcing laws that apply to offline to online.

You live off of something and I suspect it's not marketing. You're not good enough at that to earn a decent living. Maybe you're worried about your future freedom to earn money. Making piracy harder and come with penalties isn't going to harm any legit income you have. Are you earning from piracy, are you a pirate?
