Wow. This is a new theory to me. I like it. Lets break this down, shall we?

Options:

1) The FCC is using its mandate to police the spectrum to break down the 1st amendment, a key part of the collection of law that defines the government itself.

2) There is a vast right-wing conservative conspiracy that is powerful enough to succeed in forcing a specific set of moral values on America.

3) The valuation of porn must remain steady, or the new economy created by the Internet breaks down.

Apply Achem's Razor. Which one is the simplest option?

Well shit, its number two^H^H^Hthree. Porn was the first money maker on the Internet. It paved the way for e-commerce as we know it today. Thanks, you have finally cleared it all up! I understand now. Eyes are wide open.

Wait! There is something more to this.. Its Hollywood. Out in LA, porn runs through the streets like the stories of gold told to the immigrants. Democracy. Whiskey. Sexy. LA is also home to the same people causing issues for the technology folks creating new ways to distribute content. While these technologies are used for porn as well, they do no create the same revenue streams as standard e-com enabled web sites.

I think you are on to something here.. There is a black helicopter hovering outside my window. Gotta go underground.. They are on to us!
