and search for Sec. 75.7 Exemption statement, you will find this:

"(b) If the primary producer and the secondary producer are different entities, the primary producer may certify to the secondary producer that the visual depictions in the matter satisfy the standards under paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(3) of this section. The secondary producer may then cause to be affixed to every copy of the matter a statement attesting that the matter is not covered by the record-keeping requirements of 18 U.S.C. 2257(a)-(c) and of this part."

the worst-case scenario interpretation i get from this seems to indicate that perhaps the producer must give a certification of some sort regarding the date of the content. anyone have any input on this?
Well.. the primary producer is deceased.. and I suspect so are a good percentage of the models... You could get an antique appraisal from someone who's a certified antique appraiser (like me) .. I can't say I'm certain about what you're saying .. the new regs really aren't very specific about proof of exempt content, they just say if it's shot before July 3, 1995 then it's exempt.

So.. since I'm not in the vintage porn business.. I'm not going to sweat it.. I know personally I'm going to leave my vintage sites up with the disclaimer about them being exempt
