The 2257 discussion at Internext Miami was a real eye opener. The hair is still standing up on my neck and arms from the legal seminar.
J. D. Obenberger, one of the legal panelists, related a recent discussion he had with a department of justice lawyer who is "one handshake away from Ashkroft".
Because of the dangers of stalkers, Obenberger was trying to explain to the lawyer how these proposals could endanger the lives of live cam girls and single site girls who run their sites from home if they are forced to release their personal info to the public.
The lawyer's reply... "what makes you think we care?"
Tomorrow is the final day that any of us can post a comment to the DOJ as to how the proposals will affect our business. After that, I hear the ruling on these proposals could come any day.
SMASHBUCKS is going to add another 100 downloadable MPG sets and hosted galleries and more free hosting servers today for our classic porn as it's 2257 exempt (produced before 1991) in anticipation of any serious hammer coming down after tomorrow.
I think Ashkroft will try to push thru what ever he can at this point. These are scary people. Let's all hope this turns out for the best.
