Porn Set Free: Age Record Keeping Deemed Unconstitutional - GoFuckYourself.com

maxarbo · 10-24-2007, 07:38 PM

Creators of porn websites have been set free of onerous confirmation of age record keeping laws, after the Unites States Court of Appeals found that the law requiring the keeping of these records was unconstitutional.

Previously, porn websites hosted in the United States had to keep records confirming that all performers shown on their sites were of a legal age. More recently there has been some suggestion that these requirements would be extended to all sites showing porn, potentially destroying sites such as YouPorn.com and Pornotube.com (both NSFW) who rely on user generated content and therefore would not have access to records.

A majority ruling of the Appeals Court found that ?the purpose, and the legislative history of the statute make clear that Congress was concerned with all child pornography and considered record keeping important in battling all of it, without respect to the creator?s motivation? in that it impedes free speech rights.

Law.com notes that ?the decision is a significant First Amendment ruling that directly implicates the controversial subjects of legal adult pornography and illegal child pornography.? For anyone in a Web 2.0 related porn business, it?s simply a sign that they have a future. See our overview of porn sites in this space here.
