I don't know who "we" or "ourselves" are. I run my own business and do business with many others. But nobody is in control of my company but me. We can all say that we are part of the same "industry" but only VERY loosely.

Some have no more connection to the adult biz other than being a designer, graphics person, programmer, billing solution, etc.

Others are salesmen (affiliates)

Others are performers and models.

Some are photographers and videographers.

Others are webmasters buying content for their generic paysites.

Then there's guys like me who have been in the affiliate game for a long time, owned a content company, and now have an affiliate program and write, shoot, direct, edit and mastermind and maintain claudia-marie.com

I don't need anybody to "regulate" me. But I know what you're trying to say. You're just speaking too broadly and generalizing.

The people who are doing the dumb shit on the internet aren't even in the adult biz. Those clowns running bit torrent sites and illegit tubes are mostly people who have never even met a porn person...much less have any skin in the game.

So I don't believe the REAL porn business has any hand in what is going to bring the govt. down upon us all. It's the fringe guys who are bloodsucking leaches trying to make a dollar without doing any work to earn it.
