I would have taken the 200K (if in fact) such an offer were tendered. Here is why...
Regulation, Regulation, Regulation.
It is coming folks. The days of unfettered access to xxx sites will be limited.
The porn operators can scream all the want (free speech), but the case will be made to severely hamper access to these sites.
Frankly I am against such regulation, but in all honesty the porn folks haven't played nice (whitehouse.com). They have made their own beds (sotospeak), and they will have to lie in it.
My guess is the (US) regulation will force porn operators to overseas locales. That will cost money. Also my guess is fines will be steep for those ISPs who allow minors access to the sites. (Yeah, I know...how are they going to know?? Can you say STING operations. Kind of like the ones they set up by having minors go purchase beer...Minor enters store. Purchases beer. Cops move in).
The access to these sites won't be stopped of course, but WILL be limited. That will make it tough for the average individual in the US to continue to operate such sites.
Just my .02 for today!
