Porn producers may decide to leave and go to a state with a lower cost of doing business

I am unsure if you are thinking this all the way through. Tax revenue loss may not be worth this new law.

I'm sure Texas would love that.

I'm sure all the details have not been covered yet. We'll watch for more on this story as it unrolls.

Van Nuys may lose it's one industry.

I just don't find quadruple penetration scenes as exciting when everyone is wearing a condom.

Crewmannumber6: I prefer amateur porn anyway

Apparently California has fixed all of it's other problems so this was the last one to take care of. That and they don't really like money.

My position on latex futures is firming nicely.

You're far from the only person saying this, but you were the first, so I'll reply to you.

The typical porn shoot is quick and cheap. They don't have the time to drive to Vegas, Santa Barbara or Orange County and those places don't have the behind the camera talent they need for even a cheap porn.
Pornos are more sophisticated operations than just a guy with a camera and whoever is performing. They have multiple camera operators and a still photographer, sound guys, make-up artists, gaffers, etc. And all those folks are in LA because they also work in mainstream film.

And, while plenty of porn in the SFV is shot on a sound stage, there is also a lot that is shot on location at private homes that get rented out for shoots. There's an established network for getting locations, which might be hard to come by in other cities.

I voted for B. Sure, I think we'll lose some shoots. But there isn't anywhere else in the US, and probably the world, that is as welcoming and with as well developed infrastructure for shooting porn as Los Angeles.

So mandating condoms between two consenting adults is big government.

But this is also a workplace so it's an OSHA issue. Same as if in a hospital, universal precautions are regulated and mandated for worker protection because if an infection occurs, workman's comp pays the HIV med bill.
