THE END OF AMERICAN PORN

I don't think the Feds could unilaterally shut down the porn industry and I don't know if the Supreme Court would issue a ruling that allows some sexual practices but not others.

A more realistic situation would be the Court strikes down the first, overbroad law, then Congress comes up with a very stringent set of liability standards and practices that, while constitutional, make certain types of porn very expensive to produce (involving non-artificial penetration) and others cheaper (artificial penetration).

(As a result, lesbian-only films are still fairly easy and cheap to make, but others not so much)
 
Supreme Court Decision 2 - Circa September 2004

In this case female teenager (name withheld) had video taken of her mooning boats while drunk. She accidently deficated. This video was posted on the internet shortly afterwards.

Over and above this being a tort of defamation of character it brings forward a question of whether or not a person has a right to control over their own image. It was agreed upon by the judges that a person did indeed have a right to control over any media that contains them and the video was ordered off the internet.

can you see where i am going with this?
 
circa December 2004

Former Pornstars Roxy (Shelley Lubban), Heather Veitch and Annie Lobert use the recent decision to retroactively have the companies remove their images from the internet.

This brings up the question of whether or not a person who origenaly consented had control over their image. The first jury was hung and the second is pending.
 
ARP,

That wouldn't kill American porn, although it would probably hurt the "Girls Gone Wild" branch of the industry.

(However, I think participants in GGW sign releases)

Banned
Porn, banned?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Anyways, the people who are protesting so porn can get banned are (IMO) kinda idiots, I mean hell, theres Undergorund porn like Nic Cage's 8mm, even if porn gets banned it would happen like underground and the stuff, it kinda be like Police doing Drug Raids.

So yes Porn can never get banned, and if it does, it will create a Black-hole in the space time continium.
 
Porn Star...ironic title

Sorry to say this, but porn stars do not control the rights to their image. I have worked in the adult industry and you are required to sign over complete control of your image as it pertains to the video, photos, etc. shot to the production company. Any porn star, unless they have a valid contract beforehand stating the contrary or never signed a contract before filming (which is very unlikely) will lose on this count. Adult Production Companies are very thorough in preventing legal technicalities and do not want to share profits, hence why they require all "actors" to sign over their image as it pertains to the material. The problem with many of these porn stars is their belief that they are in the real film industry and are protected by SAG rules. They aren't.

As to whether sexual practices could be banned, there are still laws on the books banning sodomy, though they are rarely enforced.
