Protecting Porn Girls
 

The Attorney General in his infinite wisdom denied any concerns commenters on the new 2257 rules had about protecting the safety of girls who work in porn. Correct me if I'm wrong - NOWHERE in 2257 did I see the requirement to include a picture identification card with anything BUT a face and legal name - nothing about the location/address of the girl. So can you black out(redact) that information and just leave the photo and her name? If the answer is no - are there any national ID cards that would suffice for 2257 that would only have a girl's face and her legal name on it, nothing to trace her to a state or city?

Mutt, they rejected that bit of common sense. And better yet rejected it under the guise that it put too much of a burden on the content producer because you would have to incur additional costs of having the ppw notorized and the additional time and expense it would take to fire up photoshop and black out the sensitive info. .................gimme a sec I get the exact quote for ya.

the only protection a porn girl needs is a condom

I can see it now: porn0slut.info

Just a matter of time before something happens to a porn girl, then common sense will take place. The same thing applies to traffic lights etc. Nothing happens till someone dies, then a light goes up :2 cents:

Privacy

Sixty-two commenters commented that revealing personal information
of performers, for example, in the form of their addresses on drivers'
licenses used as identification documents in compliance with this
regulation, is an invasion of performers' privacy and could lead to
identity theft or violent crimes. Forty commenters commented that
including the names and addresses of businesses where the records at
issue are located would similarly lead to crimes against those
businesses. The Department declines to adopt these comments. While the
Department is certainly concerned about possible crimes against
performers and businesses that employ them, the necessity of
maintaining these records to ensure that children are not exploited
outweighs these concerns. Furthermore, specifically regarding personal
information about performers required to be provided to primary
producers, the Department notes that the information required is no
different from that required by other forms of employee or business
records, such as social security numbers and dates of birth required
for tax reporting purposes, emergency contact numbers in case of health
problems, or addresses used to transmit paychecks. Regarding
information about producers, such as their physical location, that
those producers must include in their statements, the Department notes
that producers are already required, under the current Part 75
regulations, to include that information. Finally, regarding personal
information about performers that must be transmitted to secondary
producers, the Department again notes, first, that such information is
already required by the current Part 75 regulations, and, second, that
none of the commenters presented any evidence that a hypothetically
possible crime, such as the stalking of a performer, was in any way
tied to the dissemination of the information about a performer provided
to a producer in compliance with Part 75.
Another commenter proposed that secondary producers be required to
store sanitized (i.e., without personal information such as home
address) hard or digital copies of performers' identification documents
along with a notarized affidavit from the primary producer stating the
location of the complete records. The Department declines to adopt this
comment. Although the Department understands the commenter's desire to
protect private information about performers from being too widely
disseminated, it believes that the suggested plan would be overly
burdensome on primary producers and add an unnecessary layer of
complexity to the record-keeping process. Primary producers would be
required first to sanitize the identification documents and then to
draft, sign, and pay for a notarized affidavit. It is simpler and less
burdensome simply to have primary producers transfer a copy of the
records to secondary producers.



Good thing they are looking out for ya huh???

sponsor content 4L

This is only going to get worse before it gets better

I read that, too. But, if they rejected it under the premise that it puts an extra burden on the producers, shouldn't we be able to do it anyway if we feel it's not an extra burden?

the good thing as far as porn girls go is there is no requirement to show them
anything but a picture ID card from a state or federal department/agency with her legal name - I see nothing that would make you non-compliant if you black out the girl's location/address. I'm still asking are there any national picture ID cards that don't have location/address on them? There must be a bunch of cards that the federal government issues for various programs and such no?

Blocking out a location and address would be nice, but still people would have access to their real names, and what about social security cards. They are just asking for more id theft.

it's all fun and games untiul someone loses an eye!

I love that quote :thumbsup

yeah i know but a name, i.e. Karen Schmucker , without anything tying her down to a state ain't gonna be much use to anybody. Only to a weirdo, the name and date of birth would give that type an easy head start i assume. What public records are available to people?

I'm worried about girls like the one in my sig - only solution is affiliates get no free content/promo materials that is 2257 applicable - just very softcore nudes and NN banners, free content, galleries.

Actually, when you apply for a job - an employer, the accountant, and perhaps the payroll department have access to your information - not everyone that comes in to buy a slurpie. So that analogy is flawed as well.

Mutt, I know your intent is good. I would suggest you speak with your lawyer and get his opinion. Afterall he is the one who will be protecting you if the govt gets a wild hair up their ass and decides to come to your place of biz.

Honestly, personal opinions are just that. The only real opinions that come into play is that of the govt, and your legal counsel.


There seem to be two schools of thought here.
A. I want to comply but I'm not sure how. ( in which case your counsel can help)
B. I want to find a way NOT to comply. ( in which case many folk at GFY will be happy to help you find a way to work harder to not comply than you ever would doing what is being asked of us)

I agree as a content producer, you may be in a new spot of being a whole lot pickier in who you sell content to and provide these doc's. I don't like it, but if things don't change in the next few weeks, we are all going to have to change the way we view content and who and how we provide it.

goBigtime,

you had a chance to make a comment/suggestion to the the DOJ and i'm guessing you didn't. they don't care, go read the document and how they responded to what 'commenters' had to say. Gonzalez is very happy with what he has now, he's not looking for solutions - he believes he has the solution - and not the solution to child porn, the solution to putting a big dent in this industry.

the risk still isn't all that great to girls - not much more risk of being stalked than the average girl out there. bigger worry for a girl is the kind of thing that drove Tiffany Teen into retirement.

Im sorry Canadian passports do not but if you are looking for my adress....we can arange that.

Santa loves me?I thought he didnt exist?

yeah but like that there will be no doubt about the person that owns the intelectual propreties... no?

Mutt,

Hopefully the DOJ will still be open for further discussion/modifications if the FSC and others can successfully argue their side of things. It has only been a little over a day now to where that was even possible.

But yeah... I should have dedicated some time thinking about that solution during the time that they were accepting comments. :(


I'm not hip to what happend with Tiffany Teen.... I must have been working that week.

Btw.. Is LaraRoxx the real lararoxx? Or fake nick?

In theory, if you signed your releases - you don't own the copyright - you signed it over.

To you, it's more of a risk than a benefit - you don't own the copyright yet your name & personal details (depending on the document you have on hand) is being given out with every hardcore set that is either sold or given as promotional content. There could be thousands of people with your personal info - real name, home address, phone, passport number.....

Quite frankly - as a model & at this point in time, copyright is the least of your worries.

You wouldnt even own it

Videotron is one of the biggest providers in Quebec - there's a good chance it's her (based on that email address)

:1orglaugh
I already have your model release and IDs hun.

Somebody posted her High School pic, and I think her real name as well. She got scared and pissed and quit her very lucrative site. The biggest selling non-nude site ever probably.

Ironicly a non nude site would not be subject to 2257

Thats like requiring every company in the US to post the drivers licence and ss of every employee in a public place to protect the child labor law...
