I agree, but tell it to mr blue becasue he thinks it makes no difference, But then he keeps going on about a single nutcase and ignores all the others who might get access to it.

Maybe he will be putting his name and address on his galleries if it's so safe.

Actually, I am...your point is?

The car analogy was cute, but happens to be apples and oranges when it comes to this situation. So, I'm putting my address up, I'm in far more danger than 99% of the models as their id will be handed out to a few thousands of webmasters that have to prove who they are, while mine will be posted to the whole internet.

You see, I understand that if I want to be in this business...that's the risk I'm taking...Models that enter this business know that they're putting themselves up for the world to see them, they sign an agreement, they know what they're getting into.

If you say they don't know what they're getting into then you as a content provider are taking advantage of their naivety. It’s great to have morals that you can flip on and off when it suits you. I happen to be a realist…I know right now people could find my address out…a little difficult, but they could. I know right now people think getting a business address will protect them…that’s also a joke as you have to be at that address 20 hours a week to be compliant.

I don’t moralize…if I want to be in this business it’s a risk I’m taking…I don’t make excuses for my decisions. If you want to be a porn star and want your content in America, you’re going to have to lose your anonymity. Will it stop people from being webmaster? Yes. Will it stop models from performing? Yes. Will it stop the industry on the whole…NO!

2257 is a hiccup, it’ll be overturned, but if you want to play in the adult industry in America at the moment you have to play by the rules. If you don’t, you have to be prepared for a court challenge. If you win, you’re the next Larry Flint, if you lose you’re some guys bitch in jail. Life is all about decisions...we each make them and have to live by them.
