I think it is an irresistible temptation to the trial lawyers. Interesting concept. After they shut down the fast food industry, they can do away with sex!

That road has already been walked, DMA. That was the whole purpose of the Meese Commission in the 80s. They failed to establish a "clear and present danger" correllation. Unless it can be shown that viewing a certain kind of pornography elicits a clear increase in violent disposition in its viewers and/or that increase in violent disposition has an immediacy that makes it obvious that pornography represents an obvious public danger, then the law falls on the side of not impinging liberty.
