PATTAYA, Thailand – This week’s episode of the Adult Site Broker Talk podcast features the second part of a wide-ranging conversation with attorney Corey Silverstein of Silverstein Legal, including a discussion of the evolving nature of the legal threats faced by the adult industry over recent years.
“Part two of my conversation with Corey was fantastic, like the first one,” said show host Bruce F. “We got into more areas of adult industry law and discussed the political climate, crypto and other issues affecting our industry.”
Asked whether it is harder now to operate an adult website than it was 15 years ago, Silverstein said “it’s not harder, it’s different.”
“When I first started in the adult entertainment industry, we still saw the federal government pursuing obscenity prosecutions,” Silverstein noted. “Well, we haven’t seen one of those in, in god knows how long now. The radio station changes but the music is still playing, so to speak. So, little bit of a different tune, but the music’s never stopped. It’s always challenging, and you have to remember that being in the adult entertainment industry, no one is forcing you to be in this industry. You’re choosing to be in this industry, and it is a high-risk industry.
“If you go into this industry thinking that we’re the same as, you know, someone operating a car park, you’re kidding yourself,” Silverstein added. “We are high-risk. There is always someone who wants to bring us up and try to make the adult entertainment industry and people in it look negative.”
