The actors personal information is protected under US law(s)... Now if the manufactures of adult content just make this protect personal information available just to anyone then there will be big time legal issues...

In the new 2257 law states if an individual has no control on the content then there is no requirement to keep the 2257 info... ( read it ! )

The manufactor has control on their content and therefor is required to provide the "custodian of record" information....


There are two parts of the 2257 record.

1.) A statement saying the "actors" are at least 18 years of age
2.) The "custodian of records"... This is the street address on where to find the "actors" personal info... this is for those legal types as to check to confirm such actors are of age...

A very big miss understanding is who has the legal right to keep "actors" personal information on hand... we are not talking about just a mailing address but rather the real names of the actors plus their home address as well as their ages and other private information.

The 2257 record is just a statement on where to find the required address to check the "actors" personal info... The real issues is who is to keep the actual "actors" personal info... and that is the manufactor...

Those who sell adult content must provide the "actors" personal information and must be linked to and to be made available by the webmaster who are using such content.
