2257 compliance question - GoFuckYourself.com

Biggy2 · 08-04-2004, 07:52 PM

follow my train of thought here..

2257 was originally developed as a tool to ensure that all models are over 18. there has been a lot of hype and hysteria about 2257, but at the end of the day.. if all your models ARE over 18 at the time of the shoot, and you can gather the proof of it if ever asked, whether you keep it on file at your business etc....

can they really prosecute you... im guessing the obvious answer is yes, but whats the worst they can really do to you - a hefty fine, jail time..

lets remember this is just a law for record keeping.. from what i understand, it seems like a law in place just so they can add another crime to the list, (i.e. you do child porn, well now you have child porn and 2257 violations, etc.)

am I far off the mark?

This just in:

The christian left wants to destroy us.

The answer is yes they can prosecute and convict on violations, and it gives them a foot in the door to look for other tasty illegal activity like tax evasion, etc. Not to mention they can just take all your shit when they do inspections and everything is not up to par. Hell they prolly can even if it is.

yes they can... and since COPA was struck down twice to protect children from obscenity, they can use current and proposed 2257 regulations to shut down sites.

The worst they can do?? Failure to comply with 2257 is a felony with 5 years jail time. .... that's all.

You can read my 2257 summary (if you haven't already) at:

BTW - that was good legal advice that I gave you. Opinions from the GFY crowd mean nothing in court... but when you have a lawyer backing your ass up, you have a chance to stay outta jail.

Yeah, because it is so easy to find models five years later when you are inspected. Porn chicks are not flaky at all....

no, if you promote a sponsor and use their exclusive content, they are 100% compliant with 2257, so you can get info from them at anytime.
