I see the same for adult user created sites. When someone gets hurt and has the money and prestige to make a stink of it, then the Feds and States will be all over the adult sites demanding that those who submit content verify who they are. Probably will see the same as Craigslist...if you want to submit, you have to tie your account to a cell phone number. Craigslist says that already the amount of post have dropped when they did this so one can except the same for adult content share sites.

I understand what you are saying but I do not operate a user created site. I shoot all of the content for the site and am in possesion of the required documentation and ID's of all of the girls that are on the site. I have been thinking of adding a message board (as an addition to the members area) that would consist of user created content thus that would be the reasoning behind consulting with a lawyer.

I would not be consulting with just any lawyer but would be consulting with one that specializes in the adult entertainment industry and that is familiar with 2257 issues. I am familiar with a few that are located pretty close to my area and have consulted with one of them a couple of times in the past. As far as some lawyer out there advising me to find a new line of work - I have been working full time as an adult webmaster for 6 years now and as far as I know, my site has always complied just fine with 2257 - and always will - so I don't see why a lawyer would advise this for me but if a lawyer did advise this, I would walk right out of the law firm and find a lawyer that would be able to assist me on how to be in compliance with 2257 regarding working with user created content because I am not going to be looking for a new line of work. That's for damn sure.
