Oh well,.... if you want all the welfare while you chase the film industry and business out of the state, you have to collect revenue to pay for it somehow. Sucks to be Californian.

Most likely some confusion by the author of the article with regards to Penthouse being the parent company of AFF/Steamray. Although it all falls under FFN (Friend Finder Network) since the IPO.
