No, I'm afraid not. I know you love to argue, and I generally ignore you. But you call me out specifically here. Adult material has had much more in the way of arrest and ruin that the music industry. (And if you leave out the racial factor, the ratio goes WAY up.)
The number of video store owners arrested, put out of business, fined, restricted, was a weekly column in the video industry trade journals. This was tens and hundreds in the 80's, and it goes on today.
Not so much in the record industry, especially today.
When was the last arrest for singing a song?
Last video store raided, was within the past few days.
