Tommy I agree some sort of self regulation is in order but you know as well as I do getting a group of us to even agree on where to go to dinner is like herding cats.
I did an interview last week with one of the Xbiz world reporters about some self regulation proposals and this new association Bill Margold is proposing....
I wont spoil the interview but I will cut and paste what hes proposing....
"Margold is calling for the formation of something called AMERA; the Adult Media Entertainment Responsibilities Associations. This organization would somehow try to encourage compliance with his six-point plan, which is:
1) An end to extreme hardcore content.
2) IV drug testing to discourage use of performers that are on IV drugs.
3) A 21-and-over age limit for performers that do hardcore.
4) Cutting ties with the escort business by not allowing escorts to perform in front of the camera.
5) Not using foreign talent unless they have legitimate papers to work in the US.
6) Working with the government to legislate a "porn tax" similar to alcohol and gambling taxes."
Self regulation is being discussed.
