2257 regs published in full

[RawAlex]

Barron, you really need to spend some time reading up on Sundance vs Reno - you will see how most of what is going on in the new 2257 rules has already been shot down at the federal court level. The DOJ basically has said "sundance isn't on point and the Amaerican Libraries case is" which is a major stretch IMHO.

Lindmight: You are doing something that probably 90% of home based internet people CANNOT do (either cannot afford or just cannot do), opening a real office. Remember that you really do need to actually be at that office...

As for lawyers not agreeing, well... all I will say is this: I wouldn't hire a criminal lawyer to form a company, I wouldn't hire a corpororate hack if I got charged with murder, and I would use a divorce lawyer to look at 2257 rules. While your lawyer may be a great corporate attorney, you need to understand that very few lawyers have a clue when it comes to the history of 2257, obscentity, and legal enforcement actions in the adult industry. If they give you an opinion that is unlike anything else you are seeing, you might consider that they are not truly on the ball.

Most truly capable and on the ball 2257 attorneys can be counted on a couple of hands with fingers to spare.

I know should. But, when it comes to inspections, the DOJ is not paying attention to Sundance vs. Reno. And the FSC posted an article that essentially says, "Get compliant".

Right or wrong, I have to get compliant with the same regs the DOJ is going by. Unconstitional or not.

It would be just my luck, I will be the one arrested so the DOJ could have a test case.

Damn, the time I allow for boards is up already for today. Talk to ya'll tomorrow.

Barron, understanding the legal atmosphere can help you understand how this may play out. There is all sorts of legal smoke and mirrors going on, how long it will last, well, who knows?

Get compliant. Read the DOJ comments (not just the rules as written) closely as they provide you almost all the guidance you will need to create the records. It can give you much but not all of the guidance you need to be compliant in all aspects of your business.

If you are in the US, make sure you have a lawyer on speed dial that understands what you do.
