I'm thinking about putting a user upload button on Claudia-Marie.Com and instead of uploading to my server via FTP I'll just create a "user" nick and upload our scenes that way. Then I won't have to worry about keeping all these 2257 docs anymore.

And no, it doesn't make any damn sense does it?

2257 is SUPPOSED to "protect children" by stopping the bad porn people from shooting sweet innocent babies. Reality is...the ONLY people who keep 2257 docs are the people who have no interest in shooting minors. The real bad guys shoot 'em all the time and don't keep any docs since their entire operations are underground and illegal.

So basically, with the "user upload" loophole...any asshole can create a tube site make a "user" and then start uploading any damn thing they want to. Underage, beastiality, etc.

And the only thing that can be done is to have someone ask nicely to take it down (I don't want to call that a DMCA because it's not a copyright issue...but you get the idea)
