Coming Together as an Industry Has Never Been So Important
2013 is seeing a surge of activity in the war against child exploitation and unauthorized access to age-restricted materials on the Internet, making headlines and causing many cries for action against the adult entertainment industry, which continues to be wrongfully painted with the brush of balderdash that lays blame for illegal CP at its doorstep.

The Increasing Threat of Government Internet Intervention
While all of us recognize that attacking the adult industry over child pornography (CP) has always been an easy vote grabber for politicians, a worrying trend is now emerging, as what was once regarded as simple sabre-rattling is now starting to gather momentum in the public arena, and beginning to pose a real threat to the freedom of the Internet in general — and to the adult entertainment sector in particular.
Are We an Industry?
It’s been said that organizing the adult entertainment industry is akin to herding cats, due to the fiercely independent nature of its typically non-conformist participants, which simply shun anyone “trying to tell them what to do” — a trait especially prevalent among the younger operators attracted to the online space, where “teen angst” plays a major role.

ASACP Membership — A Great Value!
Since 1996, ASACP has been helping companies protect children and protect their businesses. Best Practices, a Code of Ethics, the Restricted To Adults – RTA Website Label – these are just a few ways that ASACP helps its members and sponsors. Everyone will agree that protecting children is the right thing to do, but many in the industry may have never stopped to think just how valuable an ASACP membership can be. Many may simply not be aware of the frequency that ASACP is contacted by law enforcement seeking information and cooperation with ASACP members and sponsors. It has taken several years for ASACP to build a positive relationship with these agencies and it is directly because of this effort that ASACP has been able to assist several members and sponsors with inquiries by law enforcement regarding their operations. ASACP respects the confidentiality of our members and sponsors, so we won’t name names, however I will share a few anonymous examples.

ASACP: Pedophiles as Victims — Really?
I have spent the bulk of my professional life working to protect children online. After nearly 17 years I have seen — what are for the vast majority of people — unimaginable crimes perpetrated against children. Children are the most vulnerable members of society and clearly require society to protect them from would be abusers. Those children that have suffered sexual abuse at the hands of pedophiles are quite obviously the victims. Pedophiles who perpetrate these heinous acts are quite obviously the criminals — vilified, hated and scorned by society — or is it that simple?
