What? The main producer of course is libel to get "audited" to ensure their record keeping is intact. Pierre you are pretty pathetic. If you wanna suck my cock just let me know, cause you continue to slurp my name all over the board. I dont bring you up, I only respond to your drivel.

I think most will pass, these guys got to do all these inspections.I think they are looking for everyone being of age as the main thing.

pornguy · 07-28-2006, 10:06 AM

These government type pukes are getting out of control.

czarina · 07-28-2006, 10:08 AM

I'm glad that nobody got in trouble. It's a tough thing to have the FBI show up at your door, even if you have all your paperwork in order.

Mutt · 07-28-2006, 10:10 AM

they found TopBucks content on his website with no documentation - 'producer content release' - isn't even defined in 2257 - so who knows what it is. doesn't sound to me like he passed the inspection - not unless he's a member of the FSC and for now is exempt.

It says in the article they are not members of the FSC.

That would be ideal.

Unfortunately, if EVERYONE passes, they'll probably try to find a way to make the record keeping even more stringent.

Remember that this isn't about protecting our children, it's about ridding society of pornography. If this fails to bring some people down, they'll just try to find another way.

Manowar · 07-28-2006, 10:21 AM

uh ohhhhhh.

Mutt · 07-28-2006, 10:22 AM

if it's the letter of the law, he failed, he had no documentation for TopBucks content on his website. but if nothing comes of that - it's a good sign - means they aren't going to be hardasses yet on the secondary producer stuff. with the passing of 4472 that could change midstream.

Yes, the ironic part is that if no minors were used and documents are ok, which SHOULD be good news.... are not

Its all politics. We know it, they know it, but the general public read only headlines.

spider_x · 07-28-2006, 11:17 AM

Ok get this, does anyone remember a coupole years back the big campaign against uhhhh file sharers? How is this any different? We are seeing the exact same tactics and fear mongering. Don't let fear or paranoia interrupt you from running a bizneth.

Did you even read the article? A) He passed and B) He is NOT apart of the FSC.

Can they please inspect Ibill or Etelegate since they are illegally billing our customers credit cards?

wheat · 07-28-2006, 12:52 PM

You know what's best about all this? No amount of checking records from adult content producers is going to stop big_leroy_1955 from hopping on Yahoo chat and talking some middle school girls into a trip to the mall, and isn't stopping shit like that the main reason they're pushing these bills through?

Brujah · 07-28-2006, 01:06 PM

So are they on their way to TopBucks now?

No, it's about finding an excuse to start taking over the internet...It's about control.

No. That's how they SOLD them.

Ironically if the government would actually work WITH our industry, they'd probably catch more of these guys than they could find room for in the prison system. Unfortunately for them, they'd have to acknowledge that we, as an industry, are not only law abiding, but also want to eliminate child porn from the internet. That doesn't work real well with their agenda.

The difference is the health dept won't cart you off to jail with a possible 10 year sentence if you fail. It's also not the FBI doing the checking at a restaurant.

Good observations.

Yup, the problem is called politics. Ugh.

BVF · 07-28-2006, 02:21 PM

Has anybody actually checked the tour of that man's site? I just now looked at it and even though I know it's legal and his shit is straight, they still look VERY young...like some young boy shit...

http://sebastiansloaneproductions.co.../ourmodels.htm

Rochard · 07-28-2006, 02:37 PM

Clearly they are looking for information. And they'll continue to keep looking until they find someone who screwed up and they'll get charged with some paperwork law that no one can understand - and then it will be front page news.

WiredGuy · 07-28-2006, 02:52 PM

I'm rather curious by this reaction:

hahaha8220;Not all of the [content] is mine. Some of it is affiliated content from programs like TopBucks that I use to promote them,hahaha8221; Ruch said.

hahaha8220;They saw content that didnhahaha8217;t match the photo IDs and they wanted to know what that was, so I explained to them that other companies have released content to me to promote them, so they wanted to see the producer content releases.hahaha8221;

So what did they do when they asked for secondary producer releases that TopBucks has?

WG

crockett · 07-28-2006, 03:01 PM

Something that gets me with this whole deal..

"Reportedly one of 16 regional federal units saddled with investigating adult content producers, the agents showed up on Ruchhahaha8217;s doorstep at approximately 8 a.m. EST, went through his model release documents, his computers, video cameras, masters and even searched his kitchen and living room."

Did he give them permission to search his house? They don't have the right to search through your house even if it is your place of business. Just because they want to check 2257 records.

This puzzled me as well. Did they go in there with a search warrant on top of doing the 2257 records inspection?

I read that to mean they were really only there verifying primary producer records as if they were interested in secondary he wouldn't have (allegedly) passed.

Well you don't exactly need warrants anymore in the US. Bush and company just need to say it was an effort to fight terrorism.
