I think I finally found something that the FSC and everyone can latch onto a beat these people over the head with.
The new "project" is called "the Child Pornography and Obscenity Prevention Amendments of 2006."
It clearly now has obscenity and child porn as two different items. What I think would be good for the porn industry would be to wade in and support the "Child porn" parts of the rules agressively, while at the same time beating down the obscenity parts.
Why?
Quite simply, potentially good laws that could have raised the penalties for child porn have gone to waste because they were written into laws that also attempted to curtain first amendment rights to free speech between adults. If they want to take a whack at obscenity, they should do it as a seperate law, as a seperate package, and move forward on the child porn aspects as quickly as possible in the most direct manner.
When they try to re-write 2257 laws or regular public morals on sexual material, they assure almost 100% that the law will be contested, moved ito the courts, and locked up for years to come. Nothing since COPA I has done diddly shit to protect children from preditors, nothing has stopped the flow of child porn, but it certainly has punished the legit adult industries with more rules and more regulation. None of this new regulation has really stopped any of the types of child porn that matter to the public.
I suspect that the public won't be upset that a mdoel who was 17 years 300 days borrowed her sister's ID to be in a porn movie. They are upset when they see an adult molesting a 6 year old or forcing their own children into sexual acts.
This is the first time that the wording of the act allows us a chance to seperate ourselves from the scumbags CP perverts, and we should latch onto it and take it.
