Not accusing you of any wrongdoing there, in fact, it's a great way to prove we're not doing child porn... so am I mistaken?

I'm truly not pro-2257 and I've always expressed everywhere the hope that it gets declared unconstitutional. Until lately, I've not been optimistic that this is realistically likely. There is some chance of it now. Less than 50/50 in the end, but possible.
I've always urged compliance with it to avoid convictions and prison. I don't think this is law to take a civil disobedience stand on. And yes, I've pointed out that compliance assembles the defense tools for a mistake of fact defense in an underage model situation. I can understand where some people might misunderstand me to be its supporter when I've pointed out that advantage - and some others it provides.
Were I in Congress, I never would have voted for it.
