The 2257 issue is that this shows that the 2257 regs do not, and can not, in any way prevent underage models from appearing in adult porn content. Presumably the primary producer and the sponsor have all their 2257 docs for this model in impeccable shape - so what? Nothing in 2257 prevents deliberate deceit on the part of an underage model.

I think the judge ruling on the validity of 2257 regs would have to look at this case as an example and agree with the FSC that the regulations do not and can not do what the DoJ claims for them (to prevent underage models from appearing in porn shoots), and therefore the claim that 2257 creates an "unnecessary burden" on producers and sponsors is a valid one.
