I hear all press is good press. I don't think it will be the case for this. It would be an unfair drinking game to 'drink' everytime the Adult Business and CP are mentioned together in the same report.

this is what's disturbing:
1. this is yet another piece of the puzzle that suggests they never expect to conduct 2257 jury trials -- potential juries would already be getting the rhetoric in some form or other -- they're not, in fact -- next time you're riding in an elevator with a non-industry stranger, ask them how
they would keep underage performers out of porn -- 9 out of 10 people would say "check their IDs before production", and the odd, intelligent tenth person would say "issue licenses" -- in all cases, the instinctive approach would be PREVENTATIVE and PROACTIVE, not HISTORICAL and CLERICAL.
2. why would any jury in this country convict somebody for a 2257 compliance failure when the government has not shown that that failure was associated with an actual minor in an actual adult performance -- ? --
once a case goes to trial, the defense would have all the time they needed to find the model's ID and show her age at the time of production -- and if they can't find the ID, then all the government has is -- what -- an unconfirmed suspicion, a case without any moral orientation whatosoever and the egg on their face of being yet another example of lazy "law enforcement" that wants to pass-off all the work to the community being policed -- hmmm -- sound familiar:
concerned texas citizen #1 -- "damn mexicans, they're crossing the border by the thousands every night!"
concerned texas citizen #2 -- "there oughta be a law!"
texas law enforcement spokesman -- "we've found a solution -- since it's too expensive to actually patrol the border with personnel and provide a physical defense -- we've decided we're going to perform random spot checks wherever mexicans or mexican-looking people congregate. we'll make anyone who looks mexican have to get a special form of ID to be presented to officers whenever there's a raid -- this will make it a lot easier for us to tell the americans from everybody else -- and the best part is, it won't cost hardly anything -- we'll charge the mexicans to get one of these special IDs, and fear of random raids will keep the illegals out of america!"
concerned texas citizen #1 and #2 -- "YAY!"
a candian heckler in the back row who is quickly removed and arrested -- "but won't that just drive the illegals deeper undergrou..."
