Bump for these wise words.
The hole idea of secondary producers in 2257 (except for the hidden agenda of making it hard to promote porn) is not only to protect children from beeing exploited, but also to force the secondary producer to verify the age to avoid participating distribution of not-verified material.
Even if secondary producers get excempt from keeping records, they can still go to jail for much longer, under other paragraphs....and without any law enforcement, its all based on trust, which is quite risky in this business. Besides that, its about communication, because not all small fish have the guts or motivation to confront a 'big player', by asking for verification.
'Something better'... I think the optimal solution would be that all part of the industry, producers - processors and so on, sit down together and decide that it need stricter selfregulation.
Some things that would make it less risky and trustfull would be that the promoters would have to identify themself with some ID before approved as affiliate and sign a privacy agreement. At the same time, all paysites should have passwords on their programs and age verifications inside the webmasters area. If there are third-party processors involved, their part should be to approve/verify the program.
I know, its administration, but I think its worth it.
