Now here is a good way to get people to vote the way you want, block their access to porn. Who cares what the proposed law is even about, blocking access to porn is a great way to motivate people to get out and vote. ;)

Vivid, Evil Angel and Kink have interrupted or outright blocked users with California IP addresses all day today, but if prop 60 becomes law, they could ban those visitors entirely. Whether that would actually protect the studios, producers and performers from lawsuits is uncertain, but it could logically lower the chance that a viewer within the state would see content that violated the statute.

What? So they have to use rubbers or ppl could sue? How much free time did whomever have to come up with this nonsense?
 
If they don't, the law would allow any citizen in the state to sue producers and distributors of prophylactic-lacking porn

So Dan from across the street is suing porn producers because he's offended that people in porn are not wearing condoms..... HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA.
The humiliation from this will stick with you forever, no ones going to sue. And there's no way Becky is going to sue, she's a good christian girl, she doesn't watch that filth.
 
What kind of stupid fucking law is that. Anyone involved with this should just be removed from the planet.
 
I think this is an excellent idea. If kids get into dad's stash of porn VHS's (they aren't as bad as I remember), then they should see safe sex, not that unprotected devil sex.
 
So the most regulated sex industry that already test it's employees to prevent the spread of STDs is going to be required by law to wear condoms, while citizens continue to spread disease by doing whatever? What the actual fuck California? IP ban the state I'll vote on that.
 
As if they follow the laws anyways. The vast majority of all porn is produced in California... and I can assure you the vast majority of it is in no way legally produced in accordance to local county, state, or federal laws. Pretty sure Los Angeles county already has the condom law in effect, yet it doesn't stop them. I know for a fact you are supposed to pay a license fee to film anything with a production value within the county limits of Los Angeles, yet the porn producers don't pay... that's why most of the smut is shot in hotel rooms, or a Condo owned by the producer(s) themselves. Watch a few videos and you will quickly notice its the same venue repeated. Some of the foreign producers bring in under age females as well from foreign countries, X-Art and Malibu media is notorious for this, not to mention they will try and blackmail you because of it.

Haven't read the details on the proposition, but I am willing to bet the #1 endorser is a condom manufacturer. It's not the only screwed up proposition either. I think its Prop 61 where prescription drug prices in California are determined by how much the VA pays for them... yet the VA is exempt since they determine their own price. So the end result is, if the VA price is higher, then everyone in California pays the VA price and the drug manufacturers win.

This isn't just happening in California either, when you have a population of 50 million or more you tend to get more people screaming and vying for media attention, so CA bullshit tends to wind up on the news more often. Read those propositions and laws everyone wants you to vote on. Read the fine print and think really really hard. If you don't understand it, then just vote no.
 
I dont understand why California cares. Are they just trying to limit exposure to STD's or something? Or is this all about crippling the porn industry there and driving it out of state? I'm pretty sure pornstars understand that some STD's are just part of the job. It's like being a construction worker but not wearing gloves, you're going to get a few splinters as a result, but if thats the way you likes it then who cares? It's not like there's some rampant AIDS epidemic or something they cant control. Personally I cant even watch porn with condoms, I immediately turn it off, so I certainly understand their disdain for it.

They don't want ppl to get the wrong impression... aids prevention etc.
 
California is run by a bunch of people that think they know better than everyone else and tries to dictate how everyone should live. If they had their way, California would be an iron fist politically correct dictatorship.

Except the people who run the state aren't necessarily the ones who put the ballot measures up.

Yeah, the problem with Cali is that it's very easy for citizens to start ballot initiatives. That was the result of the populist movement a century ago. Article II of the California Constitution says that the number signatures to qualify an initiative for the ballot is based on the total votes cast in the most recent race for governor. You need 8% of that number to get on the ballot.

This actually can be a good thing in some situations. If election turnout is low it's easier to recall elected officials. See what happened to Gov. Davis.

and they say that the porn sites are too big, too complicated, or impossible to be blocked or stoped. how come they (the government) cant do it, but the porn industry can block the access so fast so quickly?

Wut?

One or a few site owners setting up their sites to block certain locations is trivially easy. Trying to block all the porn on the internet? Not happening.
 
Argumented Reality to the rescue! You can add all kinds of things to the penis using the condom as a sort of green screen; with todays graphics too. Whooaaa!
 
The lawmakers won't be so smug after it passes and all the porn studios pack up and move to a cheaper state.... We already have money problems, losing taxes from that industry would be a pretty big blow.

They don't understand how money works, like how if you don't have any you can't spend it. Now I don't live in IL but I know several people who do.

Well if there are enough stupid people in that state, they can just push bond measures. Since people seem to think it's free money, not just kicking the can down the road creating an even bigger problem.... I swear, the dumb fks in cali pass every bond measure that shows up, it's ridiculous.
 
Isn't another part of something to do with releasing the names and addresses of the actors and actresses?
 
Amazingly this has bipartisan opposition from Democrats and Republicans. Some quick facts on the assholes pushing for this law:


Supporters
Parties
Organizations
  • AIDS Healthcare Foundation[10]
  • American Sexual Health Association
  • California State Association of Occupational Health Nurses
  • California Communities United Institute
  • Beyond AIDS
  • California Academy of Preventive Medicine
  • Southern California Coalition of Occupational Healthy and Safety
As of October 16, 2016, the largest and only donor in support of this initiative was:[28]

Donor Amount
AIDS Healthcare Foundation $4,947,809.19​



Well I guess I know who I'm never donating to...
 
For the typically ignorant who go off in this kind of thread, this isn't a "law" at this point. It's an initiative. Someone wrote it, paid fees to the state secretary of state and gathered the required number of valid signatures for inclusion on the ballot. Voters in a presidential election year, when turn out is highest, will decide whether or not to pass it. This is just basic democracy. Many states don't even have initiative systems.
 
With Unblock-Us losing Netflix users outside of the US, time for them and others to target some porn-deprived Californians.
