2257 on DIGG - interesting and funny

From the digg.com entry:

Justice Department Wants to Register Every Porn Star

The Department of Justice wants to come up with an official list of every porn star in America - and slap stiff penalties on producers who don't cooperate.

http://www.digg.com/offbeat_news/Jus...very_Porn_Star

some of the comments so far:

===========================
"The identity of every performer is critical to determining and ensuring that no performer is a minor,"
I swear, every time the government wants to do something bogus, they bring the kids into the picture.

who knows, maybe this will be released because of a little something called "freedom of information"

one of the good things about america

18 U.S.C. section 2257 and 28 C.F.R. 75 already require adult film producers to verify all models, actors, actresses and other persons that appear in any visual depiction of actual sexually explicit conduct were over the age of eighteen years at the time of the creation of such depictions.

Nothing else is necessary..

"For the good of the children" is the clarion call for nascent tyranny.

First step, registration. Second step, confiscation?

More waste of government resources

"and slap stiff penalties on producers who don't cooperate."
ball gag, whips and bondage suits included?

Don't they already have to do that and report it to the IRS?

It's all about government power and getting more tax money from this industry

I want to register every porn star too... Please remember to fully fill out the registration including age, telephone number and bust size please! The secondary part of the registration will be in the form of an "oral interview".
=========================

I guess we can add comments too if we want.

The administration released new regulations today for SCHIP that will make it harder for children to get health insurance. They want to impose a 1 year waiting limit so that parents under hardship have to wait a full year before getting the insurance for the kids.

So, do they want to protect the kids or not? Personally I want to protect the kids but the laws mentioned above and the new regulations released today don't do that.

I'd have to do some digging to find the information but if I remember correctly this is exactly what the Bush admin said was unacceptable (a govt database with id of performers) when we did round one with this mindless twit.

When I started in this business I used to wish Britain was more like America, we had so many uptight laws. Over the last decade or so we have got more liberal over here while America appears to be getting more uptight.

Nowadays the situation seems to have totally reversed, and I am glad Britain is not like America, I don't want the same asshole laws that they keep dumping on you guys.

Not just in the case of 2257, but all over this industry. For example I have had a problem with my newsgroup supplier (he has a fault on his European server), he suggested I switched to their American server while things were fixed. Unfortunately the reason I need newsgroup access is to do with a website belonging to one of my authors (I am helping him out with his site). His niche is bondage, and apparently the company I use for newsgroups has to block many of the bondage newsgroups on his US server, leaving only a few available to Americans.

And over here I can still push gambolling sites as my sponsor if I want to (I don't do so, but I have that option if I desire), hell, I could even get a licence and set up my own gambolling site!

Oh to be in England, now that censorship is here.

The "Government Compiling A Master List of All Porn Stars" story has hit metafilter.

====================
Porn Star Registry List. As part of the Adam Walsh Child Safety and Protection Act (Sec. 503, p. 51), the "Department of Justice wants to come up with an official list of every porn star in America - and slap stiff penalties on producers who don't cooperate." Is this an effective way to make sure porn movie producers don't hire underage actors, or is this, as Paul Cambria alleges, a violation of first amendment rights?

They don't want to protect the kids, they want to protect the INSURANCE INDUSTRY:

Bush to Kids: Forget About More Public Health Care

Every time I think that they've done all the evil that they possibly can, they go and surprise me. Hell, I'm surprised that I'm surprised.
