2257 UPDATE*** We're fucked..
 

Looks like the 2257 will go in effect as it was outlined in 2 weeks.

time to diversify. if you need a job at sears i can see what i can do to help you out

Not doubting you, but this thread is useless without a source, or link to a source

Link?

source=pics??? :Graucho

I am still too worried about CDA2 to worry about this

Why all the hype about 2257.

I must have missed something.

(like missing a train while standing ON the track, yes) :(

Exactly,...where did this info come from?

You're only fucked if you're unorganized and don't have a lawyer. Carry on then.

Im fucked? well damn better pack all my shit up now.

Fire sales anyone?

:1orglaugh

Come on.. I don't understand people. Give us a link or a news source.

It's like people telling you over the phone,

"Oh..I have something important to tell you but not right now.."

JUST DON'T FUCKING TELL ME YOU HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO TELL ME. Just wait until you see me..

I still don't see how such a stupid fucking law can pass. I guess that Bush wants to knock down our economy from every angle.

Psst! it does not need to "pass".

Can you get me a position in the TV dept? I know you have some long term employees in that dept so it might be hard for me to break in.

bookmark this thread now, it should be one of the best for tonight.

Popcorn?

source will happen later, just wanted to post it first.

Has anyone actually seen the transcripts of the hearing? I've been searching for them on the gov site but they don't appear to be in the search results.

exactly . . . unless you hear otherwise the new regs go into effect on 9/24 . . . anyone waiting around isn't paying attention

What exactly is the 2257??:glugglug

just comply and you've got nothing to worry about.

Why do you guys keep spitting lies and misleading stories...I'm not voting for John Kerry, hes not going to save porn, and George Bush isn't going to end porn, in fact, most of us, have been doing quite well these past couple years, I know I'm doing better :-) Wipe your ass with the 2257, its time to coninue to bank

Lies and misleading stories? Ok the initial thread may be somewhat misleading.
Kerry, Bush? Was this even brought up yet? Though when it has been we are just going by what history has taught us. Then again the vast majority were not around or do not even know about Myporn, the Meese commition, etc.
Hell for that matter most could not even tell you why Nora Louise Kuzma is the reason we have 2257, how it would not of even helped in that matter, let alone understand and comply with current regs.

First off the way it works from what I was told by my lawyer. Those are proposed regs until the final version is published then you have 30 days after that to comply. So 9/24 doesnt mean anything. Also How do you know what the DOJ is going to do , unless its in writing I am not believing.

yawn

30 days to comply after it is published in the register. I am also in the same camp. Until it is in the register I am not believing shit.

Exactly, I won't believe it until I see the official notice.

its a number

Glad to be Canadian at this point.

link? :glugglug

Are you also gonna host in Canada, use Canadian sponsors, and only target Canadian surfers, Oh and take payments only in Canadian Dollars, not to mention only Canadian Models?

You must understand that what effects the US market place has a direct restult on us. If the US programs and businesses comply you can be damn sure all the Canadian ones will be right behind.

??

or you have non-hosted galleries from US sponsors ... if sponsors start asking affiliates to take those galleries down.. it could be a problem.. especially for galleries already submitted for paid spots...

Actually 9/24 will be the day its signed in some form, there's always a possibility it won't be, but since they had the hearing on time and all that good stuff, it's likely to happen.

But that would make Oct 25 the big day in any case, not September.

No fed's are going to be busting through my door to check 2257 documentation. That's my point here.

Canadians can use US hosting and US models and still wont have to comply with 2257...

Compliance isnt that hard. The only thing making that way as a girl is Having to put my home address on the internet.

Does anyone know if there are companies out in the world that can act as a custodian of records?

No...but a US sponsor may term you for not complying with their new rules.

Worst they'd likely do is force compliance. Nobody wants to "term" an honest affiliate they make a lot of money from.

In most cases I'm using Sponsor content anyway. Their compliance will make my compliance, should it ever be required, pretty easy.

And should I be wrong, at least I'm not risking jail time here. My original statement was I was glad to be Canadian for this. Not that being Canadian is a perfect way around the new regs.

I think my original point still holds true: This is LESS of a hassle for Canadians.
