2257, Canada from XBiz

[DannyCox]

I made mention of exactly that when the new 2257 stuff started. As a Canadian, I need to worry more about violating the Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, than a foreign law. I also don't think it is ethically correct to distribute models personal information to anyone that just asks for it. But that's just me.

We publicly stated that we would not supply any documentation on any of our models, and we will stand by that. If it does cost business, so be it. I have both legal and ethical considerations in all this, as does anyone. I totally agree with the statements of Linda Aylesworth, and completely disagree with Greg Jones rational in all this. Some things do supersede revenue.

Keep in mind, my point of view in all this is strictly as a Canadian, and as a Canadian, I have to stick with the laws of my country.

I agree... PIPEDA comes first...but thankfully we have PIPEDA as I disagree with the purpose or the appropriateness of 2257.

I often make decisions based on being Canadian... the only thing that would be a bother is if you process now thru an american company...then I think you will be subject to 2257. Its a tough call. We are in such a weird situation in Canada/the adult online community.

Look what the American government is trying to do with Mark Emery (the pot seed guy). Extradite him to the US for a crime he never comitted in the United States. The US government is also trying to sieze the property on the Canadian side of the recently busted smuggling tunnel in BC as proceeds of a felony. I think the results of the Emery case will set a legal prcedent (one way or another) that will have great influence on the enforcement of 2257 outside America.
