We can be convicted for complying with the 2257 regulation according to this (Something that will never happen as well) According to this American webmasters complying with 2257 might be arrested for breaking the privacy law.... :upsidedow |

That they are just going to start forcing hosts & processors to shut down sites that may be compliant just because they are not US-based? There is absolutely no way to tell whether foreign sites are compliant without paying to travel to the address to see if the records really do exist. No host or sponsor could ever afford to do that for all of their foreign clients. |

Lack of 2257 information on a web page isn't the same as multi-million dollar software piracy organizations, murder, rape, or terrorism. |
It would be very foolish to underestimate the power of the U.S. Government or the passion, intent and determination of these right-wing "porn haters".

Stuff like US Civil Code is not anything that is recognized by other nations and courts outside the US don't listen to the laws of the US. (They have enough problems interpreting their own laws without getting involved in some warped US legal scenario which is irrelevant to them.) Extradition agreements do exist for major offenses (murder etc), but certainly not for any possible "porn related" violations in other countries. Even on the question of serious crime, - it's not that easy persuading a judge the he should sign an extradiction order - they want substantial evidence. In Europe.. as well as several other countries, there is a problem agreeing to extradict individuals to the US where the possible penalty could be death and any extradiction order on this basis is made after specific agreement with US courts that the death penalty will not be applied. On 2257, this is totally irrevalent and not recognized outside US territory. But, as long as any servers exist in the US, - they could close them down blah, - but that's all they can do. I'd think US law enforcement have more to do than waste time over some 2257 infringement where the "perp" is not a US citizen and the laws of other countries apply - it's a non-starter. But.. other countries - Europe included, - do have laws primarily for the protection of children and whatever nation could instigate some action if it was established, for example, under age "models" were being used. But that has nothing to do with the US or 2257 and is hardly the subject of an extradiction hearing. |

Keep in mind that Canada bows to the Powers in DC. So dont think that you are safe.

Besides, I've read before that countries like Germany and France do not extradite their own citizens. All of this extradition talk is silly. Lack of 2257 information is not at all the type of thing people get extradited for, especially since it is not a crime outside of America. |

Since the Republican politicians answer to the red state "moral majority" and they control the Executive and Legislative branches, they could do a lot to make things difficult. As an example, we have only to look at China, where they just block access to any websites they don't like - even ones run by people in other countries. So US could just do the same thing. The Patriot Act gives the US government a lot of powers to take extreme actions without any real justification. They probably won't because a lot of people are making a lot of money in porn. But who knows? The scariest thing to me about religious fundamentalists is that they are not thinking rationally. What if they decide that the quickest way to get themselves into heaven is by banning extreme porn sites? They might do it. :Oh crap |

The IRS use 2 come to my office, and talk to about tax returns, after the 1st time I told the guy you have to go outside and I will talk to you... He was there snooping around. So he went outside :1orglaugh I went outside and talked to him. Not all I said 2 him, really surprised he didn't send someone over 2 take me away.. Then I thought about it why do they want 2 lock up my white ass for 40K |
Is there any extradition treaty going on between two countries?

What if a sponsor gave you content of a girl who was underage and you just assumed she was of age. Then the US goverment shows up with proof thats she isnt of age. I think that would get you extradicted from Canada or Europe real fast.
People trust their sponsors way too much. |
