Geez this is turning into yet another GFY style hand wringing bitching and moaning flame fest 
I'm much more worried about the requirements for secondary producers to list their biz address and to be required to be there 20 hours a week for receiving the feds inspectors. |
Right. Because it affects you?
Well, you're aware of the laws and you can choose to be in this profession or not. You have the choice as to whether or not that information is ever made public. That's your recourse. You know the law (as it is TODAY) and can choose to comply, break the law or get out.
Suppose, now just suppose, that you comply and put up your personal information. While you're making a good living off of your site for the next couple of years, the government is now recording ALL adult site information (possibly made easier by the implementation of MANDATORY .xxx domains-but that's another story). Two years down the road, the government decides that they're gonna create an adult site registry so adults can protect their children from walking by a "Perverts" house. EVERY adult site known to exist, will be on this site, broken down by state. You decide it's not worth the risk and decide you've made enough money to pull your sites, but guess what...it's too late for you. They've already logged all of your personal information and YOUR personal information goes into the publicly accessible site...

Now, the porn addicts will inevitably check to see who's producing porn in their city. Lo and behold they come across YOUR former site and home address. Maybe it's the church at the corner of your street. Would you want that info out there? It could be your next door neighbor with the newborn that your daughter USED to babysit. You might not care if that information is out there, but what if you did? What recourse would you have? None. Being ostracized by your neighborhood and community and potentially putting your family's well being at risk, will have been forced upon you by the government arbitrarily creating a new law for an industry in which you've chosen to no longer work.
Now, using passports? That's a great solution and something a lot of producers and models will probably seriously consider now that they know the law, or hopefully be made aware of. That's the difference here though. If they DON'T have a passport, they KNOW the laws and have a choice of whether or not to risk that information being out there.
Models of the past? Too fuckin' bad for them. They have no recourse. Their info is already in someone else's hands and the government has deemed them not worthy of any privacy-just like the scenario above.
I've gotta get the hell outta here. The more I think about this and KingAsher's post the angrier I get.
Note-This wasn't an attack on you FleshJoe2005. Just trying to make a point of how the government has put the lives of the lifeblood of our industry at risk with them not having any choice in the matter, for what might have even been a one time indiscretion.
