• I doubt it will come to this in reality. It looks like more of a protest. Kink has a fortune invested in The Armory. It's part of the whole mystique. I don't think it could or would prove transportable to Las Vegas.

  But this definitely makes a strong statement.

• Rob Black predicted this a few months back. Uncanny.

  • Big deal. As soon as Measure B passed, tons of people predicted porn production would flee CA.

• On the subject of whether or not it is legal to film adult content in Nevada, attorney Marc Randazza recently weighed in on Xbiz.com, noting the legislative history of the awful AB67 bill that became law in the state (because the so-called sex worker activists who fought it were fools like Jennifer "ecosexuality" Reed who used a ridiculous, impotent email campaign):

  He writes:

  "It is legal in Nevada. They tried to change the prostitution statute to fit adult film, and we showed up at the state assembly meeting and not only got them to change back, but the Atty. Gen. noted in the legislative history that they did so because they considered People versus Freeman to be good law in Nevada as well.

  "Also remember that half of People v. Freeman was a reliance on the First Amendment. That still applies in all 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands.

  "At this time, if it has an American flag flying over it it is legal to film porn there.

  "However, it is a good idea to examine the states prostitution statute to see if you need to rely on the First Amendment or if you just need to rely on the statutory construction of the prostitution statute in that state."

  • They though it was legal to do a live lesbian sex show in Las Vegas at XRCO back then, too.....ask Nina about the "Erotic Eleven" case sometime. It's always legal until the cops step in with a bust.

    Perhaps Mr. Randazza would like to do a test case in Nevada to leave no doubt about porn being protected speech?

• Inviting the public to a live sex show is not the same as filming a scene with only cast and crew.

  Anthony, I know an attorney who has acquired licenses for businesses in Vegas that are adult production studios. The govt is sanctioning adult production.
