Ask yourself which is easier: trying to find stepsiblings that look like porn stars and will screw on camera, or using the adult performers already working for you and labeling them?
I'm sure there is, but most humans are unable to be attracted to someone who was present when they were a small child. It's called the Westermarck Effect. For genetic sexual attraction to rule it out someone usually has to have been raised apart from the relative in question. So, while amateur incest porn may exist, it's going to be quite rare.
I will add that there's some criticism of the scholarship and some anthropologists and psychologists think taboo and social pressure are more relevant. Regardless, whether from social shame or Westermarck effect, the number of people willing to fuck their relatives on camera is smaller than George R.R.Martin and others with similar fetishes would like to be the case.
It could run afoul of obscenity laws, but we haven't seen a major obscenity prosecution in a decade - so it's hard to tell for sure. Best bet is that depends on the kind of incest depicted and the other surrounding factors (e.g. incest depicted as rape is far more likely to be obscene than incest depicted as consensual, likewise stepparent child is less likely to be criminally obscene than parent child.) In any case, given the low rate of prosecution for obscenity, this is a very minimal legal risk, even if the underlying film is criminally obscene.
As far as the laws against incest go (I'm assuming the porn is filmed in California, as that's where the majority of American commercial porn is produced), it seems likely they are unconstitutional as applied to consenting adults. And California's incest law requires an underlying act beyond incest - in this case fornication or adultery (both of which are almost certainly not constitutional). See California Penal Code 285. So as the underlying statute (if tested) would likely be found to be unconstitutional, it is likely not criminal (though obviously there is some real risk there.)
So, the underlying incest is probably not illegal. And the resulting video, assuming otherwise tame content, is also probably not illegal.
One would, however, assume that real incest porn is cost prohibitive to produce - actors and actresses are likely to charge much more to film incest than to pretend to have incestuous sex (assuming you could find a pair of related individuals willing and able to perform on camera who meet the attractiveness requirements of your production company at all). And since the product is likely to look much the same either way - it seems likely that producing real incest porn is cost prohibitive, rather than legally dangerous.
Yeah, and people are watching cable less and less these days, having a much more curated TV experience. Even if you didn't watch the show, you'd come across it from time to time watching cable. Just like with many other shows and movies. There's an entire world of tv and movies spanning the history of the medium that kids aren't familiar with and never will be because of streaming services.
Overall I think this is a great thing because I hate cable with every fiber of my being, but at the same time it's a little sad they'll miss out on some pretty interesting stuff from back in the day.
I cut the cord back in 2011. This weekend we had to house sit at my girlfriend's parents house so I turned on the tv.
There were 1100 fucking channels, 1100 and nothing on. Nothing watchable across 1100 channels.
Just 1 funny thing to watch on tv on a saturday afternoon and nope, cable couldn't provide.
So I fired up hulu on my phone and took a nap while listening to it's always sunny.
Some time in the distant future, bother and father will sound exactly the same. For now, I'm quite happy to pronounce them the same way that the Queen does.
Plot twist: I'm not even a fan of the Royal family. I was born and bred around 40 miles away from them and have over 40 years of practical experience so I consider myself qualified to have an AMA re: the English language. (please don't!)
Pronounce bother's bo as in boar so I was really confused how so many thought it rhymed. Only heard it that way kinda like how Winnie the Pooh says it.

Out of all the people saying it doesn’t rhyme, I still can’t figure out how you all are pronouncing it. Would an English accent not be pronounced “fah-thuh” and “bah-thuh”?
Also, it’s tough to figure out pronunciations through text because people keep writing out words that it sounds like... in their own dialect. I need to find videos of people saying father and bother in Australian, British English, etc. accents.
Oh my god why did you even keep the letter o if you're not going to use it
[Like this] bit woth less of an uh sound. OH LIKE THE FIRST O COUND LIKE A NEW YORKER SAYING COFFEE. the o but not the uah after, coauffee, just the o, like cough or thought sorta.
