... In practice, we'll get a whole lot more porn with condoms being used, which might very well translate to more condom usage in the general populace.

I seriously doubt it. If I were running a production company, I'd just move filming to another location.

All that's going to do is move production out of California into another nearby state. Plane tickets are cheap and you don't need accomodation for same day filmings.

Obscenity laws make filming pornography illegal in most states. It's legal in California due to California v. Freeman, back in the late 1980's. (Basically, hiring adult actors for a film was not considered pimping.) It's legal in New Hampshire, as well, where a case cited distinction the California case and said prostitution and producing porn were not the same.

This seems bizarre. Why are they wasting all that time and money? Just move to another place where there is no condom law. What is it about California that can't be reproduced in Miami or Little Rock Arkansas???

How much overrated is that people dislike condoms in porn movies?

Maybe one could beat the entire industry by using those >3K hours to produce more videos (with condoms).

Arrrg autoplay video with sound and narrator taking loud.

What could go wrong? I had the volume at max.

Why would anyone complain about such a law?

Shouldn't the same law forbid removing condoms digitally as it would then lose the second positive effect of encouraging use (the first being protection of actors)? (But then, why is it a thing in the first place? Mind blown by dumbness).

Sounds like a good application for AI
