Guess I fall in that IANAL category also and Alex helps in trying to get caught up on this BS.

I personnally get stuck with trying to interpret and apply too many US Regs. within my own field. So, being a Canuck, over the last 20 years I have instigated about 30 regulatory changes in the US because the a**holes that write them don't even make the effort of a first year law student to check for conflicting laws and regulations.

BTW, we have won every one.

...also help legitimize the businesses that have their house in order.

RBC it seems that when talking the DOJ has this take that as a producer you must also maintain a DB of where every secondary producer uses your images.

Is your house still in order?

If you have a part time adult biz...

I make well into six digits working about 8 months a year at my day job. It will take me awhile before I have a large enough, stable income in the adult biz to drop the day job. And I don't pump gas or flip burgers.

I think its half assed backwards. That if a minor tries to pass themself off as an adult with fake IDs then they too should bear both financial and legal responsibility for their actions.

And that would be why they are trying for a "Traci Lords law".

Most of the existing content that was produced prior to June 23rd, 2005 is legit provided a gov't issue photo ID is included

"Gov ID" is a new restriction this time around and it appears that they wish to back date the requirement.
