The only thing that I will give you is that just the fact that it is the porn industry makes government intervention on our behalf less likely. The same is true for large scale scams on affiliates and webmasters. If people were doing the crap they are doing within adult in any other industry they'd be in jail. But the fact that it's porn tends to help them stay out of trouble. Your average victim of card banging isn't going to want to admit that he joined Dirty18teencocksuckers.com one year ago and that this is how they originally got his CC number. You usually won't see the victims forming massive groups on Facebook encouraging the FTC to get involved. The same thing is true on the webmaster end. Most webmasters try to keep a low profile. They aren't going to start lobbying the government because we know the government isn't going to want to help us. The government might get involved now and then but it's for other reasons (such as the organization being part of a money laundering scheme). It's not to help us out.
