If "art" is pitched against "porn", that's a losing proposition for underground, anti-mainstream filmmaking. We can be sure that the reasoning that bans hotel porn would equally ban Jack Smith or Carolee Schneemann, for example. What this will effectively help doing, is to establish a sanitized canon of high-end artist-filmmakers/video maker canon, with predictable names and outcomes. (The same thing that has also happened in performance art with Marina Abramovic's late career re-emergence as its high priest and megastar.)
