If you believe this will help "keep kids safe", then you're wrong. As it was pointed out in an earlier editorial, the pedophiles go where the children are, and there are no children in the adult industry. 2257 is just another way of the DOJ increasing its own authority and broadening its scope (congress never approved this), and giving adult webmasters a hard time. In case you haven't noticed, these regulations are designed to fuck over webmasters who don't have records in order - a simple clerical error. This is targeted at legit players operating in the wide open.
The CP that this is supposed to target is not legitimate, much of it operates underground, and none of it has compliant documents, obviously. Please tell me what these new regulations will help solve. The only way I can see them being useful is if the DOJ uncovers some 17 yr old doing porn with fake IDs, even at that, its not the sponsor's fault, nor would cases like this even be widespread.
Go ahead and believe their bullshit. First its 2257, next its xxx, and so on, and so on. As long as the administration is hostile to adult webmasters, things like this will continue to happen, whether they solve any problems or not.
And what I find particularly upsetting is that these regulations, which you say would add legitimacy, are only going to lead to the proliferation of private information of the models. Its the models who have the most to lose out of all of this - webmasters can list a business address, or change to compliant content, and go on their merry way. Besides, nobody is looking to stalk webmasters. Its the models who have the most to lose here, namely their privacy, because that information WILL make it into the hands of stalkers.
