New 2257 Regs are out
Of course they are giving a free pass to Hollywood.
- Having to file 2257 would make them inelligble for goverment film grants In other words, despite the fact that adult producers are more careful than their Hollywood counterparts in making sure that minors are not involved in either actual or simulated sexual conduct, the mainstream entertainment industry will still get a free ride around recordkeeping (and, perhaps more importantly for Big Name Producers, labeling) simply by filing a notice with the Justice Department. http://www.avn.com/law/articles/33820.html The actual regs here: http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2008/E8-29677.htm |

The exemption for Hollywood may actually be a blessing in disguise. It may play a big part in getting this latest version of 2257 tossed by the courts.

It's just that in 1996, tubesites and social networks did not exist. Now they're causing the downfall of the adult industry but they're also presenting a huge problem when it comes to protecting minors. My point is that, it's possible that their blatant disregard for regulation may in fact help the adult industry in the long run(by contributing to the end of free content/ porn tube sites and social sharing) but short term , they could do some major damage by dragging others down with them...

I'm still trying to decipher this statement. "However, it(2257 statute) is limited to pornography intended for sale or trade." It almost makes one think that a gallery selling a website might not be included because you are selling the website membership, not the images on your page |

There have been sites stealing porn and giving it away longer than the internet has been around. It's nothing new. "Back in the day" want free porn, join a newsgroup. Now its surf a tube site.
2257, if done right, would help...IMHO |

Reading my way through the 200 pages I keep noticing interesting things.
They keep saying that 90% of the people can be exempt from record keeping by filing a notice. But then they are only estimating a few thousand producers. Not seeing any actual numbers for secondary producers quoted. Cambria has thrown up a few comments about the new regs. http://www.avn.com/law/articles/33843.html |

I need a bit of clarification.
According to what I have read to date, the new 2257 laws come into effect Jan 17th 2009 while depictions of lascivious exhibition and/or simulated sex (the creation date for covered depictions) will be March 18th 2009 and the final deadline for certifications will be June 16, 2009. What I am trying to figure out is exactly what category we fall into as creators of websites that actually contain adult images. From what I can understand from this govt pdf 2257 document (see center bottom column, page 38 onwards) as owners of domains where explicit images are displayed, we would probably be classed as secondary producers, which means that we will have to keep records regarding the people that appear in those images. that means that we will need to maintain records supplied to us by sponsors for any images we currently have displayed in any form on our domains. On top of that as a secondary producer, you are also liable to ensure that this information is correct, up to date and stored safely. I do not know everything that is going on and I don't profess to. For one thing, this is a US law and I am not in the US. However my domains are based in the US so I may be liable to maintain these records. Can somebody in the know, step in here and give me some clarification on whether or not I am correct in what I have said above regarding our being classed as secondary producers etc as the clock is ticking and we need to be current with what is required legally. This could be a good topic for OTB and if any of you are heading to Vegas next week, can you look out for any seminars regarding the new laws |

Bluebrit, I would like to know the answer here as well. As a freesite submitter and list owner that uses sponsor provided content, I can't get my brain around the difference in secondary producer and distributor.
But if I am reading correctly, a secondary producer can be in compliance with a link to producer's site. Is that correct? That should be good news to us freesite builders/submitters...unless of course I am intepreting wrong. |

One item that I still haven't quite got my head around yet is how to handle sponsor hosted images.
You know the ones on blogs, and hosted movie/pic galleries. Are people relying on the upload safe haven, or was there some memo I never got saying it was OK. |
