So the approach is different and much more short-sighted.

Aside from the rare production that catches the mainstream's attention, and despite all the Award shows, one porn video looks very much like any other porn video: people having sex. Of course there are major differences but the mainstream rarely understands or even notices those differences. Therefore it's relatively easy to view Adult as a disposable product with moral strings attached (for many) and thus not to be taken seriously. This leads to justification by pirates and thieves to do whatever they want. Since there is no central authority regulating anything it's the Wild West.

My point is understand the playground you are playing in and watch out for the bullies who will steal your lunch money. LOL
