How CGI Is Circumventing Porn's Condom Law

In the year since Los Angeles County passed a law requiring all adult-film actors use condoms on film, the so-called Porn Valley has emptied out, as directors leave for less-green pastures like Vegas and Miami. According to some estimates, L.A. pornography permits are down as much as 95 percent since the so-called Measure B passed.
