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.

I used to be a big fan of Bill Margold but over the past few years he's seemed a bit loony.

1- I personally would love to see this, but not at the expense of free speech
2-Should be common sense, but then who would shoot with Max?
3-Hurrah! (My own personal shooting policy btw, as I don't feel that any 18 year old girl is equipped to make decision with such far reaching consequences)
4-That's just silly. Are they going to bar "pornstars" from crossover in the reverse direction too?
5- Under 2257, isnt this already the law?
6- Will never happen. Taxation creates legitimacy, something the US is not ready for. You'll see a tax on pot before a tax on porn.
