When cometh the force?

Read AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION v. MUKASEY

http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-3rd-circuit/1061929.html

This is the "PRECEDENTIAL" COPA Decision of the US Federal Appellate Court for the Third Circuit.

I don't see how some new law will pass constitutional muster in face of this decision.

For myself, so long as some new USA law or some international agreement on this subject does not create a burdensome obstacle for all nationalities restricting access to explicit adult content to adults I have no problem with it. Generally speaking, minors don't purchase porn anyway.

We use an adult verification script also but in reality a user can insert any birth date -- it is only a good faith effort and it is no more than a reasonable effort. We only offer "hardcore" sex shows to credit card buyers only but even a 14 year old can buy a prepaid VISA card and fake his age -- there are far worse crimes in reality but we do make a reasonable effort to provide adult entertainment that is restricted to lawful adults in most cases. So called "tube sites" do not make this effort and in the arena of public opinion they don't give a shit and considering where much of their content comes from are you at all surprised?

However, as of the current technology of today, I see no way this could be possible under US Constitutional rulings as did the Court in the above cited case ...

Bottom line, tubes have taken the traffic -- by whatever means -- and they own the bulk advertising market now. Sort of like Sir Issac Newton's First Law of Motion: I. Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.

When cometh the force?
