This is the state of American court interference on PORN issues.
The Sunday (London) Times October 29, 2006
As its earnings pass $12 billion, the American industry is attracting
the attention of legislators.
The American pornography business is growing so fast that for
the first time in a decade it is attracting the unwelcome attention
of the White House and federal prosecutors.
When George Bush entered the Oval Office in 2001 he accused
his predecessor Bill Clinton of being "soft on porn" and vowed to
crack down on an industry that was generating $9.8 billion a
year. But anti-porn campaigners in Bush's own party say that
since then the president has been distracted by the war on terror
and has done little.
With an average 40% profit margin on DVD sales, explicit porn
is twice as profitable as the music business. Porn revenues in the
US are higher than all money generated by the combined
professional American football, baseball and basketball
franchises.
Production is booming, too. According to Adult Video News,
13,500 titles were released last year, compared with 8,000 in
1998 and 1,250 in 1988.

Who in hell is buying all this porn? GWB and his cronies? They are obviously part of the market or there would have been more attention paid in dismantling the Porn Empire. Wouldn't you think?
