AVNONLINE: Another 2257 Investigation
 

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Agents from the FBI inspected performers? records at Legend Video this morning, its co-owner Bruce Mendelsohn confirmed today.

?The FBI arrived at 9 o?clock this morning and were very cordial and they asked to see the records for specific movies,? Mendelsohnl said.

?They brought their copy machine and made copies and after about three hours, they left.?

Mendelsohn said he provided the records requested by the agents who merely copied them without comment.

?They were respectful of our business and they did their job and that was it. We don?t put out anything at Legend without having the proper records,? he added.

The visit is just the latest in a number of visits paid by the FBI to adult video producers. This summer, agents inspected records at Sunshine Films, Diabolic Video and Robert Hill Releasing.

Under Section 2257 of Title 18, Part I, Chapter 110 of the United States Code, the producer of any book, magazine, video or film is required to keep records of anyone performing sexually explicit acts after July 3, 1995, such as their name and date of birth along with documents providing proof of such information, including other names the performer has used.

park my sigspot!

wasn't there supposed to be like 10 companies hit?

hmmm interesting.

Obviously things would go smoothly :)!

Legend has their shit together.... they will keep hitting people until they have someone with bad records.

Good to hear that as a industry... we have our shit together. So far, so good

At least they had their papers...

Thats good that they had everything in order.

i wonder if FBI will get tired of checking and finding nothing wrong :)

How did they know what movies to check for? By WATCHING them. So why would FBI agents get tired of watching 1000s of porn movies on the government's dime and get PAID to do it?

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Legend Rocks

2 or 4 that is the question.... hit me when you see this.

Good spot Gerard....

No, I dont think so. Its about harassment of the industry, don't you see? In their eyes, you are not 'innocent until proven'.

its so crazy like they are going to find paperwork on someone under age, your right its just busting balls.

They will keep going until they get something - or until we get another "leader of the free world".

I think companies have been inspected, haven't passed, and haven't told anyone about it for fear of losing business.

It doesn't make sense to have teams of inspectors out only to inspect 4 comapnies so far in the last few months. Something doesn't add up.

I suspect, as I've stated before, we'll have a big press release by the GOP some time before the elections, bragging about multiple arrests in the porn industry. :pimp

a win in the 2257 battle
