gox · 11-20-2006, 10:05 AM

Hey guys, I'm a long time lurker, first time poster.

I was wondering if anyone know whether 2257A applies to hentai. For the last couple of years, people have always said that 2257 doesn't apply because how can you get consent forms and ID from a cartoon right?

But now with the "simulated" language of 2257A, I'm not so sure. Is there a place (an attorney's website perhaps?) that has a definitive answer to this?

I've heard several rumors floating around. I think on one podcast, an attorney said that 2257A doesn't apply to hentai unless your characters are photorealistic.

Of course, a lot of hentai programs are advertising themselves as the "no hassel affiliate program" because supposedly they claim 2257 and 2257A don't apply.

I'm so confused. Help!
