    Whatcha Gonna Do?

    So, what are YOU going to do when the new 2257 regulation comes into effect?

    For those of you who have not read the full statement, here is a brief summary:

    You will be required to:

    1) have each model's name, all aliases, maiden names, or other monikers on record

    2) have US ISSUED picture ID (no illegal workers, please) for her/him (from a list of accepted ID)

    3) have a picture with this info from the content shot

    4) have a full list of the filenames of the photos or video shot of the model

    5) have a full list of each and every location each filename was used, including specific URLs

    This info must be CROSS INDEXED, which means the inspector must be able to search your database of records by any and all of the following:

    - any of the model's names, real or assumed
    - the filenames of her photos
    - the title of the work the photos appear in
    - the URLS the photos appear at

    Every single work that you produce, be it website or book or video, must have in a font size comparable to the rest of the work, ON the MAIN PAGE, the location of the custodian of records (which must be your place of business anyway).

    Who is exempt? Any sexual content produced before 1990 or any "SIMULATED sexual content". That's it.

    So.. what's your plan, Stan?

            Goddamn this bullshit. My family's lawyer agreed to be my custodian of records for free saying that my recording-keeping needs SEEMED to be small -- won't he be surprised when a little skinny file folder turns into a whole fucking crate of papers.

                I just do free sites, I could switch to all softcore content.

                what about sponsor content like their thumbs on my tgp linking to their hardcore galleries?

                  The freaky thing about all of this is that it sounds like they'll be able to throw us in the pokey for years simply for overlooking one little filename -- doesn't matter if everybody on the site is legal, if your reams of PAPERWORK aren't cross-indexed then you've broken the law. Has nothing to do with protecting kids and everything to do with being able to burn us at the stake for nothing.

                    It really is extremely laughable. I don't see even Playboy or Hustler being able to keep up to these new regulations.

                    Did you notice who signed it at the bottom?

                    Fizz, no idea how it affects foreign websters.

                      It will not.. the US doesnt own the internet...

                      If the models are US girls.. how will they know... And it shouldnt even matter anyway...

                      However.. if you host the pictures on a US server.. that might get you in trouble.. but I would guess there's enough US webmaster to bother before trying their luck with any foreign webmasters...

                        So I guess I should make sure my WHOIS info is at a Canadian address, not my American one.

                          If the models are US girls.. how will they know... They cannot go in your country, knock on your door and ask for IDs of your models..

                          I'm on a Canadian server.

                          Content generally from the USA, though...
                          And it will be difficult for us to conduct business with US based companies too I suppose, without the new rules implimented.

                          Things that make you go "hmm"
                          Well, I guess I better get to learning me some law! We are just jumping back into it all after being away for so long so we are going to need to know these things.

                            A few quotes from the document:

                            "The Department specifically seeks info from affected producers on the costs of the record keeping, indexing, and cross-referencing requirements."

                            "the costs to the industry include slightly higher record-keeping costs"

                            "These benefirts and losses are difficult to quantify precisely"

                            "This rule will NOT result in an annual effect on the economy of 100$million or more, a major increase in costs or prices, or signifcant adverse effects on competition, productivity, etc."

                            "Industry comment has been invited in the proposed rule"

                              Yeah, I noticed that asshat's name at the bottom. I hope he rots in hell sucking firey donkey dick and taking the devil's dick up his ass.

                                Don't sugar coat it, Trix. Tell us how you really feel.

                                The worst thing is I can see him laughing while he thinks this shit up.

                                If they did this to ANY other industry, it would have been laughed off the table.

                                  No more thoughts on this? If I'm not mistaken, this touches pretty much everyone at GFY.

                                        Does this cover all forms of adsult material?

                                        Is nude, topless?

                                        Just hardcore, gg, etc ? or encompasses all?


                                        If thats the case I guess mainstream photographers / ad companies, etc will need it for swimsuit, lingerie, nudes, etc..

                                          5.) Does this include all tgps that the content gets posted on from affiliates?

                                            You need a list of the URLS that each photo is actually ON. Not what sites link to that page. AND each page needs the location of the custodian of records info. How do you like THEM apples?

                                              Just hardcore, gg, etc ? or encompasses all?


                                              If thats the case I guess mainstream photographers / ad companies, etc will need it for swimsuit, lingerie, nudes, etc..
                                              It applies only to "explicit sexual content". Simulated and non explicit is exempt.

                                                So if I have 100 users on different domains hosting the images I need to have all of them listed? Please tell me this isnt the case.

                                                  Well, if the goal of this condition is to be able to pull all the pictures of a given model from the internet in one fell swoop, then yes, I'm thinking this would be the case.

The couple of people I have shot with are good friends and I have their i'ds and address. Guest models on my site have a link on each photo url of the location to their custodial information (still changing the galleries so not completly finished). I wonder how many webgirls
                                                                          are

                                                                          Now to get all the information they want in a file and just keep it updated.

                                                                          It's nice to be simple and have a small site

                                                                            Do you honestly think such ridiculous laws will go into effect? Seriously?

                                                                                          If it does the Russians and others are going to love it.

                                                                                          America is just a small part of the internet.
                                                                                          This idiot law will have little or no effect on what goes on.


                                                                                          Bottom line, nowhere in this law (2257) has it ever stated that producer and model must stay in contact "forever".
                                                                                          You say she is 12, I say she is 29.
                                                                                          Prove it.
                                                                                          Records or not, you would have to go find that model and prove how old she really is today then count back to when the pics were taken. fat chance of that ever happening if you don't know where they live today, if even still alive.

                                                                                          this law started because of a phoney ID and it will end end because of one.

                                                                                          Records and ID's are easy to forge.
                                                                                          Whole thing don't mean shit.

                                                                                          the real funny part is that they are saying this to people who use PhotoShop every day for a living.
                                                                                          What a pisser!

                                                                                          You know anyone ever convicted on 2257 problems?

Now, I don't know how the American legal system works, but the people in dready's thread are talking about it coming into force in a few months? if it's not delayed or dismissed.
                                                                                                  So everyone write in and bitch. Remind Asshat of the paper reduction act. Of course, I'd hate to say anything, I think that might invite trouble??

                                                                                                  Fizz, US laws apply to you and Dag too. That's why there is an FBI office in Canada.

                                                                                                  Who said the US doesn't control the Internet? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe we have all but two root name server located here and we control name service. No DNS, no Internet!
