Yes I am. And I quietly enjoy my 2300 members thank you very much. I also know that there is no basis, on the false fear-induced rumors you guys spread on here that somehow once Bush gets re-elected, that somehow he will magically disable the online adult industry! Really, got any facts to back up this perverse lie?
I've got some to contradict that
Bush's (evil)supreme court earlier this year
rejected the Child Protection Act...Making it EASIER for us to operate... Tell me how many webmasters have been shut down by the Bush administration? I've been struggling trying to find people who have experienced harm from the Bush white house...I've yet to find 1 FUCKING WEBMASTER, on the other hand, I keep hearing these rumors spread on here like wildflower...
Oh and the tax cuts, REALLY helped me out too! I've been growing ever since he stepped foot in office!  I guess, by your terms, everyone is losing money, and I am the only webmaster benefiting and growing! Wow I feel extra special!

WASHINGTON - Lam Nguyen's job is to sit for hours in a chilly, quiet room devoid of any color but gray and look at pornography. This job, which Nguyen does earnestly from 9 to 5, surrounded by a half-dozen other "computer forensic specialists" like him, has become the focal point of the Justice Department's operation to rid the world of porn.
In this field office in Washington, 32 prosecutors, investigators and a handful of FBI agents are spending millions of dollars to bring anti-obscenity cases to courthouses across the country for the first time in 10 years. Nothing is off limits, they warn, even soft-core cable programs such as HBO's long-running Real Sex or the adult movies widely offered in guestrooms of major hotel chains.
Department officials say they will send "ripples" through an industry that has proliferated on the Internet and grown into an estimated $10 billion-a-year colossus profiting Fortune 500 corporations such as Comcast, which offers hard-core movies on a pay-per-view channel.
The Justice Department recently hired Bruce Taylor, who was instrumental in a handful of convictions obtained over the past year and unsuccessfully represented the state in a 1981 case, Larry Flynt vs. Ohio.
Flynt, who recently opened a Hustler nightclub in Baltimore, says everyone in the business is wary, making sure their taxes are paid and the "talent" is over 18. He says he's ready for a rematch, especially with Taylor.
"Everyone's concerned," Flynt said in an interview. "We deal in plain old vanilla sex. Nothing really outrageous. But who knows, they may want a big target like myself."
A recent episode of Showtime's Family Business, a reality show about Adam Glasser, an adult film director and entrepreneur in California, had him worrying about shipping his material to states more apt to prosecute. It also featured him organizing a pornographic Internet telethon to raise money for targets of prosecution.
Drew Oosterbaan, chief of the division in charge of obscenity prosecutions at the Justice Department, says officials are trying to send a message and halt an industry they see as growing increasingly "lawless."
"We want to do everything we can to deter this conduct" by producers and consumers, Oosterbaan said. "Nothing is off the table as far as content."
HALT AN INDUSTRY
Nothing is off the table as far as content.
Get it now guys? So boobmaster, 12dicks and the rest of you suckers please stop spreading the lie that Kerry will be as bad for this business as Bush. That's insane. I know most of your talking points are baseless but that one is so ass backwards it just makes you guys look stupid.

Crowkid do you seriously think anyone here believes some 15 year old kid who's that misinformed about issues relating to this business has 2300 members? Maybe you've made $2300 in the past year, but even that would shock me. It's just not possible for anyone to be so ignorant of an industry they're actually in. |
