In terms of risk, I think its far less likely that a prosecutor will go after an adult site than say a music sharing site.

The adult market has no one with the clout of the RIAA to lobby congress.

Indeed, the only real protection the "legit" porn industry has is to wave the 2257 around and try to use the thread of child pornography to get other sites shut down.

Porn is a multi-tens of billion dollar business, to think they don't have people in government is silly.

Please don't stretch my words to the point of hyberbole.

I said the adult industry doesn't have an organization with clout comparative to the RIAA. That's true as far as I know.

Do you know of such a broad-based lobbying group for the adult market?
