The Adult Industry & Self Regulation
The game industry isn't alone in discussing self regulation. As the content envelope gets pushed further, it raises eyebrows and concerns.
This article over on AVN Online is a must read: Clean Up Your Act: The Debate over Self-Regulation.
Is the adult industry in serious jeopardy? It depends upon whom you ask. Adult entertainment entrepreneurs like Las Vegas-based Dirty Danza believe the industry brought increased attention upon itself by pushing the content envelope constantly and excessively—and then flaunting its disregard for governmental efforts to rein it in. “The more noise you make, the more the government thinks you have something to hide,” he says. “Where do we get off being all high and mighty and saying ‘You can’t regulate us’? It’s just ignorant.” Others believe Congress is overreacting just because it can in the current sociopolitical climate. It’s a midterm election year, after all.
