...you made no argument . You tossed out some silly red herring about Encyclopedia's being available electronically instead of being printed in hard copy which has nothing to do with anything .

I am arguing something that is rather hard to refute, physical media is increasingly shunned by Western (and all technologically advanced societies). Libraries across the world are digitizing then pulping books. Archives are increasingly being digitizes then sold off to private collectors due to space requirements. Outlets that rented media are dying, and music stores struggle to remain open.
Certainly digital porn is not the only way it can possible be viewed, I am not making so trivial an argument. I am asking how you expect it to realistically be curtailed given the trend of digitization in all other forms of media/information?
Then you decided that since DVDs are technically digital my whole argument made no sense. Even though I directly dealt with that in my post.
So yes, the fact that media is increasingly being digitized (and generally made available online) does have something "to do with anything." It has to do with the fact you want the government to legislate porn stores into existence when every other industry/institution that deals with media is treating physical manifestations as outmoded.
