That's a little like holding a gun to your own head while bargaining. Not the smartest thing...

is the large production studios, then the video would be right.

But for the vast majority of performers, they wouldn't object to the new rules at all.
In fact, condoms are required in adult film productions in Brazil and they think Americans are crazy for NOT using them.

What producers fear, is that their viewing demographic would stop watching because of the condoms. There's nothing to support this. One might say that, it would promote condom use and the viewing demographic would adjust and view it as normal.

The stubbornness on the part of producers will only serve to hurt the industry rather than help it. This small concession to safety will not hurt business.
