Doesnt 2257 violate the data protection act?
 

In the UK I dont think you would be allowed to give out personal details of 'staff' home addresses etc. Technically the performers are freelance staff.

see that is the issue, good point

I can see the headlines now

"Porn star murdered by obssessive fan"

Then everyone in the country knows their info will be available on the web if they pose for porn, just like the big "A" stitched into their clothes for adulterer we all read about as children.

They hope it will make women think twice before posing in the united states.

2257 has a whole myriad of reasons for being in existence, & none of them have anything to do with protecting children

So then, after one is murdered, the govt comes in & says, ok, the info should only be available to the feds & the DOJ....so if you produce pornography, go ahead & sign up at "X" site, & provide us with a username & password.

Now they have a new registry of pornographers on hand so they can start other witchhunts, including their new favorite "obscenity"

Then as far as I could tell according to the DOJ, you don't do business in or with the US.

In Europe this would never have got past. It violates the data protection act in a manner that can endanger lives.

Hi Relish XXX... Yea.. little doubt it does!

Tho 2257 is not an act that is relevant to any non-US citizen and living outside the US or have servers within US territory.

Gotta be some changes of hosts going on soon!! :winkwink:

Seems that way doesnt it. The DOJ seems to be helping to fuck up the US economy just as well as George Bush!

I should open up a hosting company in Canada :1orglaugh

seriously people dont' care about pornstars or pornographers, it's simple as that...

but let's hope those lawyers can kick a little ass in the courts, they've done it in the past, they can do it again....

.

yea.. just wait unrtil some hurts one of my girls.. it is lawsuit time.. even throw I know I am not going to get money out of it..

Agree! It's getting harder to find stuff that is not a fuckup in some way :-)

This is gonna be fun if this act is enforced - we'll have the rest of the world purveying porn and the US sitting on some religeous shitpile trying to be righteous :-)

There are other implications.. not just 2257, where it smells like there is going to be a move to other countries - in fact, it has already started. Unless the EU does a similar screwup, - I think more activity will start there.


PS.. Don't really think this ammendment to 2257 has anything to do with the protection of children. They already have laws in place to cover that.

The DOJ directry address my question on this which I put forth during the Comment Period

That is an illustration as to how stupid this 2257 amendment is. Foreign producers, at least in the vast majority, already comply with their own country's laws as regards the protection of children and even this amendment does not enhance the protection of children.

Insanity must be a disease in the air...
