2257 regs published in full

[Ms Naughty]

I found this quote from the AVN article to be kind of reassuring in a way:

“What this law, the rationale behind this law is that it is presuming that every film you make, every photograph you take is child pornography, and you have to prove to this irrational level that it's not. That is at the heart of any challenge that this organization is going to make, because the ideal way for us to deal with 2257 is, as Reed Lee was the first person I know to make this argument, destroy it altogether.

"Ultimately, we cannot live with this. It would be great if we can cut out most of the cancerous parts, but fundamentally, it needs to be destroyed, and there's a good reason it should be destroyed in its entirety because of the first thing I said: It is presuming that constitutionally protected speech is a crime, and you have to prove it's not. That is at the antithesis of everything that American jurisprudence is supposed to be about.”

The more I look at this new ruling, the more I see that it will be impossible to comply with. So much depends on interpretation. You can bust a gut to try and get everything perfect, but it won't matter if the inspectors knock on your door. You could be spot on with your records and you will still go to court because they're out to ruin your business, plain and simple.

As soon as the FSC fixes up their online ordering page (soon I hope) I'm sending them money. I'm not a US citizen, but I support what they're doing.
