OK the fed agent goes to the judge's computer and they pull up Lia's website and she says she's 19 now (a lie but never mind that). OK so whats the result? Not only you end up in the slammer for not complying with the 2257 regs, you also get a few added charges like lying under oath (2 years), obstruction of justice (3 years), evidence tampering (2-3 years), wire fraud (5 years), and so on and on and on...

I wouldnt try that if I were you.

Well I am in the UK so it does not matter to me.

Yes, you know its not been shot in 1980 and so do they. But they have to prove it. Thats not going to be easy, and it will cost money.

This is my point. Its not going to be easy. Its going to cost a lot. Its going to take up a lot of time.

And the result will not stop child porn, or indeed make any diffence to child porn.

In fact these twits will spend all the time chasing asfter webmasters that they will spend less time on chasing after those who do child porn.

Point is if a 100 small time webmasters got busted how many 1000's would then quit. The general public may not know or even care but WE will know if this happens.

You still seems to think this is about CP. Get off that already... Its about shrinking the US porn industry, getting webmasters out of the biz, and stopping piracy, all in one nice big bang.

If the regulation stands as its written, it *will* accomplish those goals.

DVTimes · 06-01-2005, 05:42 PM

The way I see it is this.

1. Its not going to be easy to go through all the paperwork and find each model. If the model has moved or worse still denies modelling (say she is a teacher).

2. Those who make DVD porn will have to pull the stock from the shelves if they shot a non USA model.

3. All this time hunting down webmasters for silly paperwork, could be spent actually hunting down those who do child porn.

4. Some webmasters may go underground. No I do not mean doing child porn, but simply not paying tax and moving the sites outside the USA and changing the details so when you do a whois, it gives a non USA address. OK, its still possible to trace it back to the USA webmaster, but much harder. And so less tax will be paid too.

5. Some models may not want to model anymore, as they will not want the thought of years later when they have given up modelling, to have a nice chap knock on there door, asking her husband if the porn star is in, to check her details.

6. Its going to be unfair in business if non USA webmasters can get away with stuff USA webmasters cannot.

All I am saying is that SOME webmasters will get around it.

Its up to you at the end of the day.

I would not be surprised if some hosts not only set up outside the USA, but for a % would have in in there name, and simply send you a check.

There will be lots of attempts to get around this.

Yes I do, if you read my posts I have said this.

The only reason I point out CP is that some webmasters have said it was about CP.

The history of porn in the USA shows many many attempts to stop porn, and all have failed.

I am not up-to-date with USA law, but from what I remember porn has never been legalised in the USA, its just that its not illegal (due to the freedom of speech act).

Have you EVER been involved in a DOJ investigation? While they are wading through the mountains of paperwork, they freeze your fucking assets, close your doors and you're shut down until otherwise. I know, I know, you're in the UK, it doesn't affect you....or maybe it does...what if the DOJ is going through an affiliate list....your site comes up as sending traffic to that site and there is a missing ID for a specific model...now they go to your local authorities and say "this guy may be involved in a child porn investigation we're doing here." Do you really think your local authorities aren't going to investigate you?

I've worked for a company that had a nasty DOJ investiagtion and let me tell you, it fucking sucks and the company was in the RIGHT, but everyone was broke by the time they proved they were right.

If someone is STUPID enough to lie to these guys, they will get fucked harder then they could ever imagine...they don't like extra work or paperwork, but love to fuck around on YOUR time act like they are working.

Granted, this is a worst case scenario, but I can't think of anyone who wants to even go through this no matter how right they are or think they are. So, it's best for US-based companies to not stick out or bring in any unwanted attention of the authorities. Just surfing some of the bigger TGP sites, it's easy to see companies that aren't even in compliance with CURRENT regulations.

Why would they have to say anything about 2257? On the news 1000 porn slingers violating US laws were shut down. Most people would relate that to the assholes spamming their e-mail.

They aren't going to be looking for themodels. They are checking to see if YOU have the proper paperwork. If your paperwork says she's 18 then that's it. You still don't get it. They know porn models are over 18. They are hoping to bust webmasters for non-compliance. And thus scaring the rest out of business.

This vagueness is why I'm putting my new project on hold until either an injunction is reached, or the laws are clarified in court. If that looks not to happen swiftly, I'll make the decision on how to comply then.

First of all the regs don't say you have to have her home address. They want a picture of her and a date of birth on an official goverment document. And if a sponsor is giving me free content they HAVE to give me the proper docs. Otherwise THEY are breaking the law. Try reading the regs.

To make it have any point, you would need to contact at least some models to ensure that the ID is not fake.

Just because they are not going to seek the models now, does not mean later they will not.

This is for several reasons.

1. To ensure the ID is not faked (by the webmaster).
2. To ensure that the model was not on drugs or forced into the shoot.
3. To ensure the model did not fake the ID.

As some here point out all the DOJ has to say to another government is that so and so in their country MAY be involved in CP. Other countries DO in fact help the US in CP investigations. Of course the US government would never ever LIE about something to get it's way would it?

Oh, I have no doubt that the DOJ can get almost any adult site shut down, whether through legal means, or continued harassment.

The point behind my statement is that non-US webmasters are much, much harder to take down for the DOJ, especially if that site is fully compliant with its country's laws. Why would the DOJ waste all the effort of international prosecution/harassment, when there will be plenty of noncompliant Americans to arrest.

Its just gone 2am in the UK. I must go to bed.

So this will be last post for a few hours.

Having looked at the history of porn in the USA, there have been many daft ways to stop porn. The new law is clever that its been done in such a way to make it look as if its to protect children. When in fact its to close down porn in the USA.

Will it stop at this law? Well of course not. If thislaw works, then after a few years they will bring in a bit more, then a bit more.

In the end porn could be shut down, by simply making it harder to do.

This is why I hope this law will fail.

But if it does succeed, I would expect that porn in the USA will be coming to an end, except possibly by a few (very very few) big firms.

tony286 · 06-01-2005, 06:25 PM

A few thoughts after reading all of this , if your over seas I highly doubt there will be a knock on your door . I think they are going to want big headlines because they are doing this all for the christian right. I think they will use 2257 as a excuse to get in the door of people they want to go after for obscenity. Too much time and work to go after people for clerical errors . Also I think the people that use drugs its time to become drug free. You dont want them coming to your house , your in compliance but they find a roach in the ashtray.

GatorB · 06-01-2005, 06:25 PM

That UK guy is just a retarded turd and doesn't know WTF he is talking about. I hope no American webmasters take his advice.

Anyways it'snot even about getting busted for 2257that the average American webmaster shouldbe worried about. Now that YOUR name and YOUR adress has to be listed as the "custodian of records" The DOJ can notify LOCAL DAs in your area that you run a website that may be obscene and thus you get bust for obscenity. And even if that never happens if some Jesus freaks in your town find out about your website ansd thus about you they can sure harrass you and post flyers and signs all over town about how you are the evil pornographer how you want to abuse their children.

Its amazing how hyprocritical some of the religious people can be. The example that still sticks into my mind is that of a 20 yr old "Christian" who got confrontational with me back in February about the fact that I won't turn down adult-oriented sites for coding/hosting services, and how he would always try to provoke me into the discussions of the evils of pornography.

Yet he had no problem fucking his 16yr old girlfriend every other day and making it known that he was getting some underaged ass (age of consent is 16 here)

For argument sake, let's assume that the new 2257 regs withstand all injunctions and are enforced.

Just *WHO* will be enforcing these regs? In other words:

1)Who scans the sites to "choose" the ones they are going to investigate?

Just *WHO* will be enforcing these regs? In other words:

1)Who scans the sites to "choose" the ones they are going to investigate?
2)Who then makes the physical visit to the location to see the documentation?

That will all be handled by the DOJ. Though I suspect they could get the FBI and local law enforcement involved if need be.

The American taxpayer of course. How ironic that you may be funding your own prosecution.

If the model has moved or worse still denies modelling (say she is a teacher). 2. Those who make DVD porn will have to pull the stock from the shelves if they shot a non USA model. 3. All this time hunting down webmasters for silly paperwork, could be spent actually hunting down those who do child porn. 4. Some webmasters may go underground. No I do not mean doing child porn, but simply not paying tax and moving the sites outside the USA and changing the details so when you do a whois, it gives a non USA address. OK, its still possible to trace it back to the USA webmaster, but much harder. And so less tax will be paid too. 5. Some models may not want to model anymore, as they will not want the thought of years later when they have given up modelling, to have a nice chap knock on there door, asking her husband if the porn star is in, to check her details. 6. Its going to be unfair in business if non USA webmasters can get away with stuff USA webmasters cannot. __________________ The Affiliate Program

If that looks not to happen swiftly, I'll make the decision on how to comply then. __________________ ZangoCash - Turn Your Traffic Into Ca$h. $.40 Per Install - No Tier

Having looked at the history of porn in the USA, there have been many daft ways to stop porn. The new law is clever that its been done in such a way to make it look as if its to protect children. When in fact its to close down porn in the USA. Will it stop at this law? Well of course not. If thislaw works, then after a few years they will bring in a bit more, then a bit more. In the end porn could be shut down, by simply making it harder to do. This is why I hope this law will fail. But if it does succeed, I would expect that porn in the USA will be coming to an end, except possibly by a few (very very few) big firms. __________________ The Affiliate Program

I think they are going to want big headlines because they are doing this all for the christian right. I think they will use 2257 as a excuse to get in the door of people they want to go after for obscenity. Too much time and work to go after people for clerical errors . Also I think the people that use drugs its time to become drug free. You dont want them coming to your house , your in compliance but they find a roach in the ashtray.

I hope no American webmasters take his advice. Anyways it'snot even about getting busted for 2257that the average American webmaster shouldbe worried about. Now that YOUR name and YOUR adress has to be listed as the "custodian of records" The DOJ can notify LOCAL DAs in your area that you run a website that may be obscene and thus you get bust for obscenity. And even if that never happens if some Jesus freaks in your town find out about your website ansd thus about you they can sure harrass you and post flyers and signs all over town about how you are the evil pornographer how you want to abuse their children.
