California considers 25% Porn Tax

[Toby]

I don't think the tax would really change consumer habits significantly. The real impact would be on the bottom line of the adult DVD industry, which is already taking it on the chin. I think we'd see more companies moving production to Canada and other more porn friendly locales.

As for taxing online sales, they could only apply that to sales within CA and even then might be running afoul of federal regulations.

Typical for California, where they tend to over legislate everything.

Our local news covered this and that was one argument the news reported. They stated something to the effect that with all the internet theft it could cripple them and they would easily move out of state and more likely out of country. No country was mentioned, at least by our news station.

I have been sick, comprehension is not all there, so hopefully I did not fuck up what little I recalled from last night. There was more but I do not have an idea what was said.
