Qualified films do not include sexually explicit productions as defined in section 2257 of title 18 of the U.S. Code.

If porn valley could take advantage of this incentive, companies would have an incentive to continue or invest more money into production. |
Was that included in the law for a reason or what?
It's a step in the right direction. If it doesn't work for mainstream expect more laws. As I said a long time ago too much money is being lost because of piracy for it to continue. The EU might be the next one to come up with something similar.
This is my take on it.
Free porn has been killing offline porn for years. Karma is a bitch. As DWB says Manwin is so big they will just buy content. Online porn drove down the value of porn, both online and offline, Manwin and a few others can afford to keep going with full scenes. This will be a good thing for them, it will remove all the small players with unlicensed content. And ensure no competitors will threaten them.
Youtube might not bother to fight it, it loses money or the money it makes isn't worth fighting for. If they do will they have the political clout to fight industries losing billions?
If any law that porn can use against piracy, can only be enforced by the Fed. Forget about it. They will find a ton of reasons not to bother.
