There's a group called the Association of Sites Advocating for Child Protection (ASACP) that has pit itself against the U.S. House of Representatives in a fight involving porn. But not for the reason you might expect. They're trying to convince the government that the legal adult pornography industry has nothing to do with the disgusting crime of exploiting children.

Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) has introduced HR-1981, named Protecting Children From Internet Pornographers Act of 2011, that the ASACP says erroneously ties the legal adult online porn industry with child porn.

“Given the inaccurate portrayal of the industry within this legislation, we had no alternative but to respond with facts to counter this falsity,” ASACP Executive Director Tim Henning stated. “It may be an attractive title in an election cycle, but its presumption is flat out wrong. ... In fact, the online adult entertainment industry has repeatedly shown leadership regarding Internet child safety issues — such as in 2006, when ASACP launched the Restricted To Adults (RTA) meta-label.”

The group is all for the law. They just suggest Congress change the bill's name to something like “Protecting Children From Internet Pedophiles” or “Protecting Children From Internet Sex Crimes.” And while they're at it, they should close up some loopholes that'll allow people to circumvent the law by using wireless hotspots.
