    2257 Trial Kicks Off In Philadelphia- 6/3/2013 -

    Mark Kernes from AVN posted:

    PHILADELPHIA?Judge Michael M. Baylson wasted no time getting down to the business of deciding the constitutionality of 18 U.S.C. ยง2257 and 2257A (hereafter "2257"), the federal recordkeeping and labeling law that's been on the books in one form or another since 1988. Court convened promptly at 9:15 a.m. in Courtroom 3810 of the James M. Byrne Federal Courthouse at 7th and Market Streets. Representing Free Speech Coalition (FSC) and 16 additional plaintiffs were J. Michael Murray and Lorraine Baumgartner, while the government mustered U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Division attorneys Kathryn Wyer, Nathan Swinton, Hector Bladuell and James Schwartz.

    Douglas was then asked, if 2257 disappeared tomorrow, would the industry begin using minors in its productions? No, Douglas replied, both for moral reasons and because child pornography laws still exist?and attempting to recall thousands of DVDs because they contained an underage performer would be prohibitively costly, not just to physically recall the disks, but also to reimburse retailers and customers who'd bought the product. He also testified that for a company to have been found to have used an underage performer would hurt that company's good will among retailers, who would never again trust that company's product?and that besides, since all the performers in a movie are assumed to be adults, there would be no point in using an underage performer deliberately, since that person would be assumed to be an adult also; there would be no benefit to the producer.
    Well put.

    This'll be very interesting to follow as it goes on...

        Donations for the effort are still being taken at http://2257donate.com/.

        This is a very expensive trial and any contribution is appreciated.

              Except for he's not telling the truth. I alerted ASACP years ago about a producer using minors from Thailand for DVDs being sold in the USA through a fairly large LA based company. Neither the ASACP, the company who was selling it, or the FBI did anything about it. I even spoke directly with FBI special agent Chuck Joyner who was heading the 2257 investigations at the time. Joan from ASACP told me that it was "pre-teen under 15" that was the problem. Not a single DVD was recalled even though it had 15 - 17 year old girls having sex in it. So as usual, someone speaking on behalf of the industry is totally full of shit. Can't say I'm surprised.

              And has everyone forgotten that not too long ago Met-Art used to be full of underage girls, and CCbill billed for them? No one had a moral issue with that at the time. They only changed when 2257 rolled around and they had to. If there is no 2257, do you honestly think those types of people who had no problems with it in the first place wouldn't do it again? This business is a laugh a minute.

                On a % of those involved in either job? I would bet pornographers per % of head involved would be the highest in the world bar none actually.

                  One fault in your point there...
                  Being a priest CAN be considered a "job"...
                  A "pornographer" is NOT a job.

                        Will any aspect of this trial discuss whether or not tubes and torrents will be REQUIRED BY LAW to maintain 2257 files and records, or will thieves still be given a free ride?

                        How will this trial effect non-US websites, and sites hosted offshore?

                              I'm going on record. I hope it passes. I'd like to see a tube site comply.

                              It's pretty clear by now they aren't ISPs.

                                    Unfortunately, they are considered ISPs by law:
