A federal law requiring pornography producers to verify performers are at least 18 years of age withstood an industry challenge after a federal judge rejected arguments the measure imposes burdensome record-keeping requirements that hinder free speech.Under federal law, producers of sexually explicit photos, videos, and other media must obtain government-issued photo ID from each performer and keep copies on file for government inspection. The law also imposes labeling requirements. The Free Speech Coalition, a porn industry funded lobbyist group which opposes the enforcement of obscenity and censorship laws, filed suit in 2009, arguing the law is overbroad and tramples on protected speech. The industry said it already takes measures to keep kids out of porn. The government presented evidence that 500,000 Internet searches a day — at least a third of the total for sexually explicit material — involve “teen porn” and similar keywords. Such searches have grown more than 200% over the last decade, the evidence showed.
To summarize, the porn industry was arguing for the “right” to regulate themselves. Following their logic: there should be no health-inspectors at restaurants; no monitoring of parolees; and no patrol cars on the freeways. Everyone should always be trusted to do the right and legal thing. In addition, the porn chiefs cried poor, during the court proceedings, arguing that age requirement fillings was cost prohibitive. Yet, worldwide, porn brings in over $100 billion annually; most of which, because of underpaid performers and crew, and owing to the miniscule or nonsexist promotion needed to market their materials, is pure profit. But, there is also a very sinister side to this attempt by the porn-pushers to get government regulation out of their space; the very real desire to exploit children in the sex industry; this is both economic and spiritual. If there were no oversight, I guarantee that numerous porn-pushers would waste no time in casting underage actors in films. Because many of these kids are desperate and naive, they would pay them next-to-nothing, turnaround, and make a fortune. Lastly, this is also a supernatural battle: for the demonic forces of porn hunger to offer up children as human sacrifices to the devil. Since porn is actually a dark ceremony; when you watch it - you become one of the worshippers.
