2257: Canadian porn performers want protection from U.S. law
 

Canadian porn performers want protection from U.S. law
Critics say industry's enemies, after failing to ban it, are trying to regulate it to death

Canada's privacy watchdog has been asked to determine whether a U.S. clampdown on Internet pornography violates the rights of Canadian adult industry performers.

A lawyer representing a B.C.-based porn company wants Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart to see if contentious new U.S. federal regulations that take effect today offend Canada's privacy laws.

What if 2257 is illegal in Canada?

It is.... it conflicts with our laws, primarily the privacy act.

I believe it conflicts with almost every countries privacy acts. Including the US's own privacy act.

Mr. Kent-Snowsell says the new rules will also restrict foreigners, including Canadians, from working in the adult industry because they may not have the required U.S. photo identification. This could possibly offend international trade treaties.

"I know that our legislators aren't thinking about the adult industry when they are working on free-trade agreements, but there may be something to that, under restraint of trade."

Will Bush care about international treaties as much as he cares about international laws and the U.S. Constitution? :1orglaugh

I think Canada should invade the U.S and take over

it conflicts with everything good known to man.

i didn't think the us had a national privacy law

Don't miss a chance to fight back.
