However, 2257 is coming back around. It hasnt gone away. Perhaps DOJ is focused on obscenity right now.
I really urge all my clients to stay on top of 2257 and keep up with the recent changes to it.
Here are the new regs to 2257(A)
These came out on June 6th. |
Michael, I was reading the XBIZ article on this, and was wondering about this part:

According to the Justice Department, "One part of this [safe-harbor] exemption states that section 2257A does not apply to matter that (1) is intended for commercial distribution, (2) is created as a part of a commercial enterprise by a person who certifies to the attorney general that he regularly and in the normal course of business collects and maintains individually identifiable name and age information regarding all performers for purposes such as federal and state tax, labor, and other laws, and (3) is not produced, marketed, or otherwise made available in circumstances such that an ordinary person would conclude that it is child pornography." Producers who qualify for the exemption would need to notify the attorney general in writing every two years.

I would think that could be used to your advantage if a legit company, wouldn't you think?
