I agree with you, mostly. Porn defininlty has a place/right in society. It is misinformed to say that all porn is dehumanizing. I would venture to say that porn has the option to be very humanizing, people expressing themselves in an incredibly natural way. Certian organizations do not want it to be viewed that way. The religious right feels that sex for not procreative means is an abomination against God. Feminists often say that the porn industry creates a dangerous and victimizing 'workplace' for the women who work in the industry. The porn industry itself doesn't often market their product as a means of expression, they aren't giving pornstars a chance to express themselves, they are giving consumers what they want. I think the one valid point that comes from these arguements is that the porn industry potentially creates a very hazerdous workplace, espically for women. The answer to this problem does not lie in regulation of distribution, but rather the active interest in creating the proper standards, policies, & proceedures around the porn industry. blah, im done.
