IMHO, the only thing to fight is requiring "secondary producers" to have full info on the models and not just reference to the name/address of the primary who does hold it.
Everything else... like actually keeping records on where you got each picture seem sensible to me.
But if there is a "fight" it should be just to make the changes more reasonable. I think on the issues of model privacy, driving $$$ offshore, and impact on small business... We'd be pleasantly suprised to see how many judges or even Senators would see the validity of those arguments.
If you don't give them an inch... they'll just take a mile anyway.
Since the "Big Bad Bush" has shut down... what... ZERO 'egal' adult porn sites so far...(I feel no remorse if he goes after actually kiddie porn of course)...it is hard to know just how much enforcement they have planned.
i.e. Ashhahahahaha has the existing 2257 and hasn't used it yet.
Do the esteemed experts here think the intent is to scare off 90% of the websites with legal/paperwork requirements....
Or do they have their eye on a certain offending site(s) and want the biggest stick to go beat them with??
ps. Anyone call John Kerry? Just wondering if he'd come out publicy against it?
Yep. that would really make NOW and the soccer moms happy.
