If you don't comply, your site will be blocked from US. Hosting outside of US won't help.

This rule applies equally to any sexually explicit material introduced into the stream of commerce in the United States no matter where it was produced.

well fools you need to follow the law of the country where you are doing business. This 2257 law is kind to you just by blocking you and not prosecuting you for breaking it(or maybe it will? i have not gone thru all of it). Imagine the law saying "every site in US cyberspace should comply or else will be prosecuted"
now don't ask me why will other countries hand over their citizens to US if their citizens break US laws

and you are really missing the point. do you understand what it would take for the federal government to order ISP's to block URL's? it would require specific laws, specific policies etc etc etc. do you know what the public outcry would be? there would have to even be a whole government agency to monitor the compliance, non-compliance of ALL adult sites and EVERY adult image online to block and unblock them as they are found to be in compliance/non-compliance. it would never happen and that is where you are being very shortsighted.
you guys are making these absurd comments about something that you have not even given 3 seconds of thought about. stop for one minute and just think about the logistics of what you are talking about... not to mention the Constitutional issues.
HELLO DIPSHITS... in case you have not been paying attention, the US government can't even stop 10 year olds from watching drunk girls fuck donkeys in their own public school libraries... and they have been trying for years. now you think the federal government is going to monitor every image online?!?! give me a fucking break.Comment

That's the LAW.
they are comments about the law from the DOJ regarding stated objections to different provisions. can't you fucking morons read? the actual law is defined below the comments.
the discussion is about foreign law and privacy issues and they are simply saying that if you do not provide the correct documents, then you will not sell your shit in the USA.One commenter also commented that the proposed rule may force
foreign primary producers to violate foreign laws regarding protection
of information. If primary producers in foreign countries decide to
comply with their home privacy laws and not provide materials to U.S.
entities, the regulation will chill the availability of materials and
speech to U.S. citizens. The Department declines to adopt this comment.
The rule is no different from other forms of labeling requirements
imposed on foreign producers of, e.g., alcohol, tobacco, or food items
that are imported into the United States. In order to sell in the U.S.
market, foreign producers must comply with U.S. laws. This rule applies
equally to any sexually explicit material introduced into the stream of
commerce in the United States no matter where it was produced. Foreign
producers have the option of not complying with the rule, but then
their access to the U.S. market is justly and lawfully prohibited.
NOWHERE is there a discussion about the US Government blocking foreign websites. And there certainly is no law that allows that.Comment

the www is a free accessible international market space where people from all countries in the world can buy and sell. The unique working of this global market place is not going to change because of a new law in the US.
If you truly believe the US government has the will and the power to keep US citizens away from that global market space, you need to have your head examined.
That the new law will effect US citizens to buy and sell within their own (local) market is fact.

kris: the laws of the united states do not apply to non U.S. citizens. Meaning, if non U.S. webmasters don't comply the worst that can happen is that they cannot be allowed access to the country. They can't and will not block URLS. I'm not even a citizen and I know more about your constitution then you.
Secondly, you cannot be extradited for this particular (crime) even if the united states does try to prosecute you.
Third, for a real-life example of what I'm talking about take this guy that operates a warez site located in SWEDEN and is breaking 10-20 U.S. copyright laws, and as you can see from his replies I don't think he is scared of Microsoft, EA or the U.S. government.

Amazing thread Dino and full of the usual ignorance! :-)
If anyone even things there are not more serious issues on the table re international law than some crap referenced under USC 2257 - they gotta be living in lala land.
The principle of protecting children is 100% valid - that's where all this shit stops. After all, that is the purpose of 2257? Or is it? :-)
Keeping records do not protect children and neither do labels of "compliance" on websites. That is the action of deskbound policy makers who have nada clue about fuck all and, most likely guided by a load of perverse rightous folks cloaked in a shroud of religeon. (If that ain't an abuse of religeon, nothing is)
Protecting children means parents need to get off their asses and do this in real life.
Secondly, parents need to quit abusing their children - most abusers are family members.
Thirdly, there are laws in place for child protection (OK.. including 2257), and not being enforced. Yea, I know it costs money to enforce laws - but don't bother instigating laws that cannot be enforced.
To enforce a law on record-keeping is clearly uneconomical and has no or little effect on abused children.
If the US govt is actually serious about child protection - start off cooperating with others who already extend facilities to the US govt for the prosecution of pedos and related offenders.
The concept of USC 2257 is so ludricrous it has nada chance of international acceptable. (For all the "words" in it - it's a very badly formulated law).
What may gain international acceptance is the concept of an international org to pursue child offenders over the boundaries of other jurisdictions. Often the nature of child offenses involve several countries, although currently most police forces collaborate in this area.
Bottom line, I doubt the US would agree to any international org on anything - considering they can't even agree to a court for the prosecution of crimes against humanity and war crimes. Don't even tell me they want "international cooperation" on a crappy US civil code - it's too silly.
The only law that applies to anyone on this planet are the laws of the country in which they reside - all others are irrelevant.Last edited by Webby; 06-10-2005, 03:45 PM.XXX TLD's - Another mosquito to swat.Comment

It is up to a judge whether the govt has adopted these rights legitimately or using them under another guise "illegally".
The moment one country adopts an attitude of arbitrary censorship and internet interference, - rest assured, other countries will have a response and probably at different levels and in different ways.

But true. The last and probably the most remote thing on the table for consideration as international law is some piece of US Civil Code.
Before that ever comes to pass, other nations are still waiting for compliance of other ratified treaties on a wide range of issues, but instead get moans and whines about diverse subjects like - the UN is evil and corrupt and we need to quit paying the club membership.

Bottome line:

Tho a secondary consideration, that was another reason we complied with the original USC 2257 - the first being it was at least some measure to establish the age of talent and hopefully reduce CP. It was also in a way, an international standard for adult net content - tho maybe not any official one.
Couple that with the fact we had servers within US jurisdiction - it was reasonable to show some courtesy towards the host country. Tho in real life, there is little that could be done, apart from server closure, because the corps were not US based or operating under US law.
With the "new" 2257, this is simply a record-keeping exercise for dirty pics. We already know and have evidence that models are over 18 and fully aware/responsible, of sound mind (least on occasion) and responsible for their actions. Amended 2257 is simply an invention of the current Admin and offers nothing on CP enforcement - they never even got off their asses and prosecuted under the original code.
So... all servers were removed from US territory some years back since it was evident there was going to be, at some time, a problem.
Servers broadcast to the net and make no specific aim of blocking contact with this or that country. If a country wants to block certain IP's or other access, they are free to do so.
