    want to share an office to store 2257 info?

    as a result of the 2257 regulation on secodary producers, it looks like we'll have to rent an office and pay someone to sit in it in case law enforcement wants to see i.d. what can i say - we like working at home.

    does anyone want to split the cost of a small office and reception person?

    this would be in the l.a. area.

    What requirements are there for the location they are stored? Could you pay an eskimo in Alaska to keep the information in their little hut? Thats what I would do

      see, the problem with that is...if the other person in the office has records that are not done correctly, you go down for it

      when they are in one office, they are counted as a joint business venture..so watch out

      edit: there is a place in LA that does record keeping, I don't know who it is, but ask around

        we used to store our records at a paralegal's office, but she left the state. i'd gladly use an attorney's office and rent a drawer if anyone knows of one.

              Just store them in your attic or basement. Why spend the extra $$. If they want to check, they can come to your house.

                Because she would then have to list her home address on every single website.

                  Why do you need a reception person?
                  In case law enforcement comes in and needs to see the records?
                  Then I'm assuming she would have to be named the custodian, since you would never be there. Then if the records aren't done correctly, your receptionist is gonna get fucked.
                  Why not get an office and go there to work since you'd be paying for it anyway? Then you can be your own custodian.

                    Your lawyer can not be custodian of records , it has to be a employee and the person that takes on that duty, has to continue to doing it for five yrs after the business closes.

                          This is true, but then at least they wouldn't know where she lived.

                            No, it's proof positive that the government needs to make and enforce laws to get rid of predators, not women running legitimate businesses.

                              Well, unless she's driving in her secret ninja invisible car to and from the office, I think a stalker would go the extra mile to follow her home from work. Hence the term "stalker".

                                This sucks for you guys in the US.

                                I had at one time proposed that all records be filed, once the content is produced, directly with an agency of the government. An filing number and certificate could be issuied and available to the webmasters .This would releive of the burden of keeping records " five years after" and would also validate those actual records.


                                We have this here for videos distributed in stores. They review our contracts, check the content and issue a certificate. Store owners just have to check that the decal is on the tape when purchasing it...



                                I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

                                But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

                                  True...laws to get rid of predators would be a great thing.
                                  The government isn't trying to get rid of women running legitimate businesses, it's trying to get rid of porn....or at least make it more difficult to be compliant.
                                  Unfortunately, it doesn't see a woman or man who runs an adult site as a woman or man running a legitimate business.

                                      No Trixie thats the law its been the law for a while. Things are going to change, some will not be in the adult industry anymore. The same probably happened when they decided to run a bar you need a liquor license or to sell insurance you need a license. Probably a bunch of people went out of business for various reasons the same will happen now. The days of hiding are coming to a end. Am I happy no but its been too easy to get into the adult online business its breed alot of recklessness that has to change.

                                        There are stalkers for people in every walk of life.
                                        It's a risk a person takes, being in the "public" eye.
                                        It sucks, but there's no way around it.

                                            Thanks Tony -- I know what the law has required for a while now and have disagreed with it from the get-go, but obviously with the proposed changes there is an intention to crack down even further on a law that has, thus far, not been enforced.

                                            As a feminist and pro-sex worker I obviously come from a totally different perspective than some people here, including you. Women get killed for being sex workers. Between two murderers in the pacific northwest where I live, over 100 prostitutes were killed. Name another type of businessperson who has been targeted on this level by serial killers. The green river killer did not murder insurance agents.

                                            Running an adult website is a far cry from streetwalking, but the hate directed towards ANY woman who capitalizes on her sexuality is the same. It sucks to be victimized both by the misogynists AND by the government that claims to protect us.

                                            When you say that "some people will leave the industry" it will wind up being genuine amateurs who work from home, share genuine sexuality with their fan base, and are not willing to jeopardize their families to comply with a tightening of the screws that put our lives in jeopardy.

                                              It's a risk a person takes, being in the "public" eye.
                                              It sucks, but there's no way around it.
                                              See my post to Tony. If you don't recognize that women in the sex industry are at a greater risk you've got your head up your ass. And yes, there IS a way around it -- and the first step is recognizing the problem(s). They're called MISOGYNY, COMPLACENCY, and IGNORANCE.

                                                I didn't say anything about women in the sex industry being at less risk.
                                                I said that being in the "public" eye enhances the risk to be stalked.

                                                  As a feminist and pro-sex worker I obviously come from a totally different perspective than some people here, including you. Women get killed for being sex workers. Between two murderers in the pacific northwest where I live, over 100 prostitutes were killed. Name another type of businessperson who has been targeted on this level by serial killers. The green river killer did not murder insurance agents.

                                                  Being a street walker is not having your own website. I think also everyone has a feeling too much self importance .Thinking groups of stalkers will be out to get you, let me tell you sometime if some stalker wanted to find you you would been found. Danni Ash goes to her office every day its on her site and she is fine. I have a friend she is wild , has parties and invites people she doesnt know off of yahoo groups . She has been doing them for over a year and nothing has happened. You go to internext ? how do you know stalkers arent there, they screen no one
                                                  Things are changing it has nothing to do with a hate for woman. They are doing for a love Jesus in their minds.

The lovely IRS goons showed up in suits and ties and had to do their audit in 90%+ weather. Needless to say the audit didn't last too long

                                                    I don't see why you would have to have a person full time to sit in an office. Store them in a warehouse that is accessible from 9-5 and preferably one at an uncomfortable location... nothing illegal about that.

                                                        I think some people need to read the regulations again. It clearly states that the records must be kept AT THE PLACE OF BUSINESS, so the government can knock on your door any day during normal business hours and get immediate access.

                                                        Trixie, I totally agree with you there. It's highly unfortunate, but I can see it happening already. The startup costs are getting higher, and the people who truly used to post for fun (without having personal websites) on VoyeurWeb/newsgroups/yahoo groups are fewer and farther between.

                                                        As for stalking, one woman on Dreamnet put on her site that she lived in a different city than the actual one. Imagine her surprise when she got a call to her private line at work from a fan who wanted to meet her for lunch! She went through quite the wringer over that, but luckily nothing dangerous happened to her. So yes, it CAN happen to anybody.

                                                          § 75.4 Location of records.

                                                          Any producer required by this part to maintain records shall make such records available at the producer?s place of business. Each record shall be maintained for seven years from the date of creation or last amendment or addition. If the producer ceases to carry on the business, the records shall be maintained for five years thereafter. If the producer produces the book, magazine, periodical, film, videotape, computer-generated image, digital image, picture, or other matter (including but not limited to Internet computer site or services) as part of his control of or through his employment with an organization, records shall be made available at the organization?s place of business. If the organization is dissolved, the individual who was responsible for maintaining the records on behalf of the organization, as described in § 75.6(b), shall continue to maintain the records for a period of five years after dissolution.

                                                              If anyone opens an office in Vancouver I want the job as the guy who sits in it. Although it makes no sense to open one in Vancouver cause it is a US law.

                                                                  i'm not actually worried about stalkers - i'm worried about the part that says mon through fri 8 am - 6 pm. those are not my regular sleeping hours, and when would i do my banking and errands? someone besides me has to be available to man that office during the hours i'm doing something else!
                                                                  I just came back from Tampa to see my lawyer he is a first amend guy, it doesnt mean someone has to be stationed there . It has to be the place the checks come to your primary place of business. Hoildays are not regular business hours and its not against the law to leave your office. They show up you are at lunch they cant arrest you for that. It also says For the purpose of this part, ??normal business hours?? are from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., local time, and any other time during which the producer is actually conducting business relating to producing depiction of actual sexually explicit conduct. So that means they can show up anytime they want in theory. We are getting a office and we tend to work nights I am not changing that. IF they want to reach you they will trust me.

                                                                  Let me share with you a little story. We had a site with this chick whose husband was a marine, they lived on base. I recommended to her be quiet about it so she doesnt get harassed.
                                                                  One night my wife and I get home , there is a voicemail its a sunday night. The message says its LT someone chief Security officer for the US Marine Corp please call me back in regards to this site. I m freaking out, the phone he called on is unlisted and no where online. It was a number the model didnt have. I called and he wanted make sure her site wasnt on government servers because so many marines were looking at it. So if they want to contact you or find you they can.
                                                                  Last edited by tony286; 07-25-2004, 06:20 AM.

It clearly states that the records must be kept AT THE PLACE OF BUSINESS, so the government can knock on your door any day during normal business hours and get immediate access.

                                                                    Trixie, I totally agree with you there. It's highly unfortunate, but I can see it happening already. The startup costs are getting higher, and the people who truly used to post for fun (without having personal websites) on VoyeurWeb/newsgroups/yahoo groups are fewer and farther between.

                                                                    As for stalking, one woman on Dreamnet put on her site that she lived in a different city than the actual one. Imagine her surprise when she got a call to her private line at work from a fan who wanted to meet her for lunch! She went through quite the wringer over that, but luckily nothing dangerous happened to her. So yes, it CAN happen to anybody.
                                                                    Exactly!

I think also everyone has a feeling too much self importance .Thinking groups of stalkers will be out to get you, let me tell you sometime if some stalker wanted to find you you would been found. Danni Ash goes to her office every day its on her site and she is fine. I have a friend she is wild , has parties and invites people she doesnt know off of yahoo groups . She has been doing them for over a year and nothing has happened. You go to internext ? how do you know stalkers arent there, they screen no one
                                                                      Things are changing it has nothing to do with a hate for woman. They are doing for a love Jesus in their minds.

                                                                      Being targeted by a stalker isn't a compliment and being cautious about one's safety as a woman isn't deluded or paranoid.

                                                                      Yes, I go to internext. But I don't post on my website which hotel and room # I'm in while there. That's also a stupid comparison for the simple fact that even a stalker has a clue that there will be a huge crowd at a CONVENTION. The same cannot be said of my home or office.

                                                                      I have met fans, I am in no way overly paranoid, and I do recognize that it's possible to go through life as a woman and even as a woman in the sex industry without being stalked and/or killed for it. That doesn't mean it's far-fetched or that we should post a fucking invitation in the form of an address on our websites.

It is self import ant like you think so many people are focusing on you, that of course you will be a target of stalking. You could also get struck by lightning do you not go out or raped you could get raped by a plain old rapist who is not fan do you sit in the house and not go anywhere or much greater chance of being killed in a car accident . Do you not drive?

                                                                          when you talk to danni and you get it from her first hand HOW, not WHEN, she has handled that, you get back to us...

Your anecdotes about danni and the wild girl who does parties prove nothing -- you can only be murdered once, you do realize that don't you?

Publishing your address on your personal porn site doesn't leave much room for warning though.

Trixie even though you are mean I would never want anything to happen to you or any girl who does this. This is the law unless the big guns step up to fight , we are fucked maybe thats what corporate porn wants alot less competition. Things changes I heard when cars started to come out there were like 400 car companies in america now there are four. I think in the future doing porn from home will not be. Like others businesss there will be a higher cost to get in the game.

                                                                                  § 75.4 Location of records.

                                                                                  Any producer required by this part to maintain records shall make such records available at the producer?s place of business. Each record shall be maintained for seven years from the date of creation or last amendment or addition. If the producer ceases to carry on the business, the records shall be maintained for five years thereafter. If the producer produces the book, magazine, periodical, film, videotape, computer-generated image, digital image, picture, or other matter (including but not limited to Internet computer site or services) as part of his control of or through his employment with an organization, records shall be made available at the organization?s place of business. If the organization is dissolved, the individual who was responsible for maintaining the records on behalf of the organization, as described in § 75.6(b), shall continue to maintain the records for a period of five years after dissolution.
                                                                                  Elli as posted before, this still doesn't mean you have to have the office staffed. You can simply pull a business license from a storage/ warehouse location and use that address for your whois info. You can call it your main office or what ever.. But there are legal ways to get around it..

                                                                                  The law doesn't state you have to have a staffed, carpeted air conditioned office. It simply stats at your place of business. If you make the storage location your place of business it would be legal.

                                                                                  But really how many records do you really have? You can fit a lot of crap in a few file cabinets. You can't just throw a few file cabinets in your garage or somewhere around the house?
                                                                                  In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                                                                                    I opened an office a while back and made sure that its the primary and only place of business. Sure pain in the ass but with real estate prices today its the only way to be sure Ashfuck doesn't wind up with it.
