You know, I think it's great to try and prevent child porn as MUCH AS POSSIBLE. But the government also needs to be considerate. Here's a few of my takes on it.
It's great to have to keep documentation, always a smart thing to do. Always good to keep good documentation to always prove a models age. But do you really think that 2257 laws are really for helping stop child porn? My honest answer, No. What child porn maker is going to keep documentation for any of the girls on his site? None. Hell, I think the adult industry (all of us) have turned in more child porn sites than the FBI has probably busted. We all work in the industry and the respectable people in this industry will do as much as possible to keep the entire industry as clean as possible. But as all industries there are a few bad seeds and we try as hard as possible to help government officials weed out the bad seeds. Because that one bad seed filming children is giving us a bad name.
I feel this is a way to get the people that aren't going to keep up with the issues with 2257. Just to take down one company here and one company there. Which you know what, if the company doesn't keep their records straight, that's their own fault. They've had time to do it and get in compliance.
But I know that the first thing any news channel would say about a company that fucked up a record and they caught wind is, "Today in [some city, some state], FBI agents did a raid and found that their records weren't 100% compliant. Blah blah blah." Then mention some way how it is weeding out child porn, and basically say that the company was involved in child porn.
