It does depend on who you ask. Ask any attorney or anybody who knows what they are talking about and they will tell you these REGULATIONS are as good as implemented. The Justice Department just has to go through the motions first.
Ask any other jackass on the board and they start babbling about the law being passed by Congress and other bullshit. This is not a law, this is a regulation. Congress already passed the law (2257) back 10+ years ago. They gave the Justice Department the right to promulgate regulations which is what the Justice Department is doing.

They are accepting comments on the opinions of the taxpayers for 90 days (think it ends in Sept sometime, so don't delay, do it today).
For anyone seriously considering filing a comment on the proposed changes, go here - to submit your comments.

Baddog, thanks for that excellent link. Unfortunately you failed to read it yourself. It clearly says the comments are due August 24th. I have no clue where you got September or 90 days.

I would suggest bringing up the safety of the models as a problem with the proposed changes as it will subject all models to having their personal information made available to anyone willing to buy $5 worth of content.

Most models don't have a clue what happens to their information after they do the photo shoot. They might care, a little, but most are just in it to make a buck and don't think about the long term ramifications (like their future boss finding the photos online). More importantly, the Justice Department doesn't care about the privacy aspects (have you seen the Patriot Act which the Justice Department trumpeted?). What people need to address is the burden and cost these changes will make on their business and how the secondary producer definitions in the regulations are illegal expanions of the law.
