The only good news in all of this is that it is July already, and Assclown only has a few months left before the people speak. Unless they move rapidly right after this comes into effect, they will almost certainly not get anything into court until long after ashclown is gone.
It is an attempt to shut down the porn industry by creating new record keeping that is retroactive to 1996. Hands up all the people who have individual unblocked (no black over names or address) model releases for all those 5000 picture mega disks you all bought.
Hands up all the content companies willing to provide this documentation in violation of privacy laws.
Just like Acacia, some will do whatever, some will ignore it, and some will end up in court fighting it. Thankfully I feel the legal issues are clear, the order as issued is not a claification but rather an attempt to write new law without getting it passed by the correct branches of government. I really think that it will get shot down when it gets to court, but it won't happen UNTIL it gets to court.
