Funny you should mention this. In my town, there's a plan afoot to
re-zone much of the city in an attempt to outlaw most 'adult
entertainment.' Because you can't legally put someone out of
business who is running a legal shop, you must offer them an
alternative site if you institute such zoning. So they've proposed a
sort of 'porno ghetto' in a lonely stretch of town where all the
adult businesses will have to locate! Actually, this has been done
in other US cities, c.f. Boston--a city which always used to pride
itself as one of the intellectual nerve centers of North America.
But how 'bout Canada? Porno [hardcore, that is] is completely
illegal, and will be siezed at the border. Didn't some band get in
trouble over this a few years back?
