we don’t live in a communist world and the movement to legislate-it-out-of-existence from the right without solving any of the economic/social cleavages that put people into sex work is just going to escalate the criminal character & make it more dangerous for workers
i think in the idyllic after-the-revolution there wouldn’t even be a demand for porn production: with the elimination of IP, just go around and obtain consent forms from whichever former performers don’t mind it being out there, & there’d instantly be a huger library of available pornography than anyone could countenance under capitalism. the industry thrives on artificial scarcity and ephemeral availability, but there’s nothing fundamentally new
This is how I see it. The best outlook to end the adult entertainment industry’s abuses isn’t “ban porn,” but rather, it’s “make it redundant by ensuring basic human rights so people do not feel a need to go down that route.”

This assumes that absolutely no one would choose to film themselves having sex and distribute that
