I think the work of writing a good law in this case would involve identifying the proper target. As much as they are the darlings of our young people, sites like sidereel etc exist solely to exploit the creativity of others for the purpose of gathering eyeballs. Do you have ideas for how you could make these sites difficult to run without harming the infrastructure of the internet to the extent that it isn't worth it to put the law on the books? The trouble is that the government can already shut down sites like these in many cases, so the goal isn't to write a law that helps to catch them at all it needs to be enough of an improvement over what we already have to justify the work to create the law and enforce it. Just to throw out there, (because it's easy for me to do, I'm not the one who has to come up with the ideas) but any law that offshore's all of these sites to more lax countries, but leaves sites standing that are easily accessible from the US aren't very effective. At the same time, other nation's sovereignty should not be violated by these laws. The basic situation is that the ease of communication that the internet provides means that law enforcement is facing a sisyhean challenge if it plans to fight this criminality with sticks. The problem is already being solved by the availability of legal alternatives. Adults feel uncomfortable flaunting the law and if somebody allows them to avoid that, they will earn attention.
