important 2257 info

[brandonstills]

Read this article recently. Some very interesting information.

http://www.xbiz.com/articles/legal/88985

Some of what I got out of it was that the 6th circuit only applies to a small handful of states. California not being one of them.

The other point was that a hyperlink on each page for 2257 is no longer good enough, you have to have the full 2257 on each page.

Here's a link to the code for those of you that actually want to read it.

The new rules are so ridiculous there's no way they'll stick. Think, a TGP with 100 models on the page is supposed to also list the 2257 for all 100 models - on the same page as the thumbs? ;)

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it only means you have to have the custodian of records listed, not their actual confidential information.

[brandonstills]

Only one copy of each picture of a performer's picture identification card and identification document must be kept as long as each copy is categorized and retrievable according to any name, real or assumed, used by such performer, and according to any title or other identifier of the matter.

Someone explain to me what this means. It doesn't make any sense.

Advantage to being in Tennessee I guess.

What? That you don't have to understand it or comply with it

Obviously not the models confidential information, the custodian of records.. In an affiliates case like a TGP, it could be 100 different custodians.. That's what I was attempting to blabber out.

actually you are a little off

1-that particular tgp would need to have the docs for all the models
2-the tgp's custodion of records would be listed

what this means is that for each of the assumed names the model uses, her 2257 must be filed under that name and for each and every publication, meaning if model suzy B goes by the name rebel, juicy and sugar etc she needs 3 separate 2257s filed under each of these names and then if it exists for 2 sites or 2 different movies for example, she then must be filed under both publications or sites in 3 categories. meaning 6 times. Sucks but that is 2257 for you.

It means you know fuck all about 2257 and should not be posting threads about it.

not sure honey....when i was directing for 2 porn companies and the big kick on 2257 just happened, we had to redo all the paperwork and that was what we were asked to do on all the talent. I personally don't see the point on reitterating the same info over and over. It should be all listed on one form under the performer's real name and then filed under each publication. However, we were doing it that way and then had to change the filing system because the clause stated that a performer needed to be filed under each assumed name. We had to go in and re-file everybody....if I am wrong, then we basically were made to do a whole bunch of unnecessary filing!!! LOL

Regardless...if 2257 is such a bother, just cover your bases and make sure you have them on each and every model used. It is tedious but definitely worth it.

You are correct. Not only did I not quote her but she didn't start the thread either.

Although my post was not about or to her, she's also wrong with her 2257 info but I'm not about to go into yet another 2257 debate on GFY.

Fuck em.

Like I said regardless of whom it was directed towards, when the 2257 debate came about more than 2 years ago. This was the system adopted by porn companies. Sorry....this is what was done and according to their attornies, what had to be done. Everyone's always complaining about 2257 regulation but all the complaining on the internet hasn't changed the fact that you need to ensure you have all your 2257 info in order. If I am wrong so sorry but I have been involved in it first hand so if you are producing porn regardless of where you post this porn you will have had to deal directly with the 2257 requirement.

Whether I am intelligent or not really isn't the argument
No-one else seems to be worrying about my intelligence. You think I am wrong anyway but since you don't want to continue the debate about 2257 requirements lets talk about something lighter for you to handle....How 'bout them Dodgers!!???

Besides,
Don't get aggravated about my comments. This is just conversation that is interesting. At least on GFY people actually say things I find interesting Nothing I say is really directed at anyone personally. The guy who started this thread is a good friend of mine and I could just call him and talk about 2257 but who wants to do that??? Not as much fun

Now you are even more incorrect.

"the 2257 debate came about more than 2 years ago...."

That particular round also included what was referred to as a "paperwork reduction act." That made the filing systems MUCH easier and way less bulky than the system you described. Companies may have chosen to do things as you mentioned but according to AVN, most companies were not compliant back then in the first place.

Working for a porn company doesn't mean you know how 2257 really works.

I don't care to discuss the Dodgers either.

For what it's worth, I'm not aggravated by your comments. I'm pre-judging you because of your connection with that idiot Donny Long and the way you perpetuated his ego problem when introducing him to people back in November.

You may very well be a great person but that whole "first impressions" thing is a mother fucker.

Hell I know nothing about the Dodgers except they look good in those pants!!!
was hoping you had something cool to say about them
hehe

Yes like I said I may have been wrong but when the 2257, which was already in existence, was reinforced on production companies. This is what they were doing. It may have been designed as a paper reduction ploy but since hardly ANY company was correctly following the 2257 requirements. Here we go....more and more paperwork. I am not trying to debate YOU my friend...the subject was about whether or not Internet sights needed to have 2257s on all the talent even if it is TGP. Since so many companies were not compliant in the first place, wouldnt it make sense just to have these documents correct and compliant so that you don't fall into that pothole?
You don't have to respond if you don't want to...this isn't a debate I am directing at you personally. Especially since we have never met

I don't know everything but I was shown a clause by a production company a looooonnnngggg time ago which basically referred to having a 2257 filed under each assumed name. I saw it written in the law itself...Once again I could be wrong and when I have the time, I will ask that person who showed me this document. They showed it to me because I didn't believe them and basically didn't want to do all that paperwork in the first place

LOL Thats ok. Donny isn't me and also for what its worth so many more difficult people than Donny work with me because I have a way with difficult people

You don't have to like me at all. No-one is expecting your friendship or acceptance. You don't owe it to me. I really only worry about those personally close to me. There are very very few people who really know me and I keep my connections very tight.

I am wondering if we ever did meet. First impressions to me are a waste of my time anyway. If I really want to know someone, I do my research....besides I judge people based on how they treat me to my face.

If they have done others wrong I am in no place to judge. I just watch their moves and I play Chess so to speak.

You don't know who I know and you don't know who really knows me

Mysterious little thing I am! hehe

Too many secrets but a very powerful source for things....depending on what you need my sweet

I bet you are very cool One day I may come to find out

[Gerco]

I live and work in Kentucky. So, no more 2257 for me.

Don't get me wrong... I STILL maintain all records, but for myself. I have all the ID, passport scans, model releases etc for every single shoot I do or have done, but these are for my personal protection.

BUT that said.. 2257 in itself is dead to me.

To answer the original question...

You are correct on both points.

[Paul Markham]

The industry needs a 2257 type law. It needs to be workable and practical. The idea that you should be able to publish porn without documents to prove it's legal is beyond me, the idea that you can point to a person on the other side of the world you have never met and know fuck all about and say "He has the documents is beyond me as well." is also beyond me.

2257 should not be something "voluntary"

So what would be the results?

Less porn on the Internet with the same number of surfers. Hoops I would gladly jump through to achieve this result.

Yes I understand about countries not having to comply. Does not mean it's not a good idea that you should have the documents and billers should make sure you have them.

The free for all we have today is not helping the industry.

And I do not know how to work it out. But clearly there are people in the business who don't care if the content is legal, model legal or who owns the content. So long as they make a buck.

No 2257 AND you get to fuck your sister.

Some states have all the luck.

Yes and most 2257 pages I see on sites that have them list the actual prodcuers of the content. Which actually makes sense but that's not what the law requires. If it's YOUR site then YOU have to have the records and YOUa re the custodian of them and it's YOUR name and address and phone number that has to be on your 2257 page. Fuck that. I'm not putting my name and address and phone number on a publicly accessable page.

If the feds want me to have a page where I list who produced each movie and where to contact them that's fine I have no issue with that. How am I supposed to know if some bitch is over 18? Even if I have the docs they could be forged.
