They also hold the Forum here obviously and the law is aware of that being here. Yes it's a conference, but they'd be stupid not to know the amount of shoots that occur during that time period alone. There are also many photography workshops shot here year round that include nudity which could be classified under this law. They are all left alone because they are no big deal and they don't want to stir up any shit.

If porn central set up shop in AZ, they would come down hard on everyone. It happened a few years back with swingers clubs that got to be a little to high profile. Also, the worst thing that ever happened to the Forum was a few years ago GGW decided to bring that monstrosity of a bus to town and park it right in front of the Palms. Every fuckin channel in town ran stories about the "porn convention" happening in Tempe. It had been going on there for years already with no one really the wiser. No one wants Porn Central anywhere in AZ, but they'll let the quiet stuff go on as long as it remains that way.

I'd say the move to Las Vegas would be more porn friendly than AZ.
