#22Tai Lopez uses rentals for his YouTube video sets too.

#23The money-quote for me was: >>"When you force the industry from a well-equipped infrastructure like the Valley, with not only traditional sound stages, but a large number of easily rented homes where adult filming is permitted and encouraged, and push it to the margins, and to area and locations where people are not aware that adult film is being shot, you're seeing the beginning of an industry moving underground."

It's absolutely nothing to do with disruption. It's the result of taking something that is legal and making it illegal. Like prohibition in the US. Suddenly ban people from doing something they once could do and a black market will form.

I agree. Don't want this to happen? Easy, don't rent your home out. Renting your home out comes with risks, and you do get rewarded for that risk, but there's still risks. Nobody is forcing you to rent it out.
You're not required to take every risk with no recourse. A renter might steal from you or leave a spy camera behind, but that's illegal. We could certainly make it illegal to shoot commercial video on someone else's property without their permission.
Rental agreements that disallow commercial use are a thing.
Much simpler and provides civil law recourse for this sort of usage.

Airbnb prohibits commercial videos/photos without permission, according to the article.

In this case, its more prohibition of a critical component of the porn industry [ no condom shoots ] that was necessary for them to be economically viable.

I think you're drawing an erroneous conclusion that because the sets are less established, or even improvised, that they are necessarily illegal.

At least in L.A. it's already illegal to shoot in a rental property (such as a traditionally rented apartment) without the property owner's permission.
Still happens multiple times every day.
It's more a result of much smaller video crews than anything else these days.
Technically a lot of these youtube/podcaster people are in violation of local laws.

#30>> The county told NBC4 if Lucas had filled out the permit application, the owner could have learned about the shoot before he filmed there. Lol. The data on a form filed for a porn shoot at a particular location will not find its way into the hands of someone renting on airbnb. I'd be surprised if they are even digital. With due respect to homeowners, this is what happens if you rent your property. People will be ha…
It sounds like a useful tactic would be to plaster your walls with art related to Disney/Marvel characters. This would make it a legal nightmare to film in without stripping the place bare.
Even better, mix in some QR code posters with illegitimate links to Marvel/Disney content. If even one somehow slips by the video editing crew, you're talking legal apocalypse.
