2257 Takes Down HawgsCash

Good Luck With Everything

Man that is sad.

you are correct.... so those afilliates that have sexually explicit images that were provided to them, need to take them down for their own peace of mind.

i can understand your biz decision... there is ALOT of work to do to be 2257 compliant, and even if you had the manpower to make all the tweaks and changes on your sites to be compliant, you are still at the mercy of the content producers to respond to you in a timely manner, *if* they are even in the position of giving out 2257 info.


since you are wanting to shut down, why not take the slash and burn approach?

start a new program with all new content, that this time, you know will be 2257 compliant, and setup your internal environment for 2257 compliance, and you can continue to operate an adult biz. You also have options to incorporate overseas (i know a few offshore attorneys).

2257 is a record keeping statue.. no different than other statutes that govern over businesses.... the major difference is that this statute is written for the intent to shutdown adult sites, but the burdensome responsibilities of the regs would most likely get struck down.

the remaining 2257 regs are ones that aren't too hard to follow, if you are starting new.

if you have not been compliant with the 10 year old statute, then there is alot of work to do to catch up.

so if you are thinking to just shutdown completely due to the heavy burdens of being 2257 compliant with your existing program.. then start a new one, and do it right from the beginning.


Fight the second chances!

Holy Fuck!

Fucking government.

The Hawgs are a couple of the best guys I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with. I wish them all the best and I hope their other programs continue to thrive.

I suspect this is only the first of many major programs that will fall in the coming months. Sad shit, they don't come more trustworthy than Mr. Taylor. Stand up move setting up that arrangement with APC!

these guys are kicking arse with APC, good luck!

Yes that definitely sucks
2257 will kill many sites , I hate new 2257 changes.... I'm very sorry about HawgsCash.

I want Clinton back
