>>>”It’s a huge concern,” said Jason Tucker, whose Falcon Foto company boasts one of the world’s largest erotic libraries. “The relationship we have with our customers is based on trust. The industry’s concern is if that trust has been violated, we could see a drop-off in customers.”

Excerpt:

Content provider FalconFoto.com was awarded damages in the amount of $1.8 million against an Orlando Florida content reseller, Blaine Richard, in one of the largest awards for actual damages ever handed down relating to copyright infringement over the internet.

Falcon Foto has been in the business of producing and licensing quality images for over 10 years to the mens’ magazines and recently launched their group of internet sites directed to the public, www.falconfoto.com . Falcon’s president, Gail Harris created the renowned Larry Flynt publication, “Barely Legal” and Falcon recently entered into a new co-publishing deal with Flynt on a magazine entitled “Virgins”. Falcon now licenses their images to other businesses for use on the internet.

How much do you want to bet it was the FBI building a database?

You could be on to something. I just pulled that excerpt (above) about Falcon Foto and it sounds like either the line is toed or crossed for underaged people being used in their photos.

ICE has been executing Operation Predator for the passed few years and following some major cases.

I wonder if this one is for some reason particularly popular in DC.

...you probably belong to dozens of sites!

Along with the story of things that are fading in 2007 is profitable porn. Thousands of free 'you-tube' type sites where you just go and click.

...a guy in my prayer meeting said his cousin accidentally clicked on some of them.

[shbox]

sounds like some govt BS to me,

No conspiracies....its free social networking sites like fill-in-the-blank Tube that are free and killing the porn-for-profit sites.

[DBrow]

I know they are paying attention to hentai sites, recently. People may not realize that an inked cartoon can be child porn to the feds, and parents may not realize the nature of the manga their kids are looking at.

If this theft of data helps to eliminate or curtail exploitive porn, it’s a good thing.

These observers note that online porn relies, as much as anything else, on the promise that its customers can enjoy complete anonymity as they indulge their favorite niche pastimes from the privacy of their own computers.

OH, NO!!
Could this spell THE END of Internet Porn???

Ah, . . . NO!
