Well, it hasn't been a DOJ priority since Bush and Gonzales went bye bye.
I am not aware of any primary enforcement actions. USC 18 §2257 may have been added to some CP complaints as an additional charge perhaps. There are federal felony statutes making CP unlawful -- just enforce those -- I don't think anyone in the adult business is not fully aware of those laws
Short of setting up the US Department of Porn and legitimizing the porn business, yeah right! Then creating administrative law that would require getting a license -- under the doctrine strict scrutiny -- the regulation of free speech (1st Amendment) -- that might be prior restraint of speech. I don't think short of a constitutional amendment, scratch that -- it would never pass (probably?).
This has business has been a cat and mouse game in most of the world since day 1 -- Sodom and Gomorrah?
