What are you going to do about this 2257 shit?

Useless · 2004-07-31, 03:05 AM

Look at the thousands of sites out there that are not compliant with existing 2257 laws. Is anyone chasing them down? No. Why? Because there aren't any little red flags popping up. The DOJ isn't going to just start doing random audits of adult webmasters' records. If you have a site with obvious red flags (questionable content), you are up shit creek anyway. Bottom line - you will have to give the authorities damn good reason to break in your door and demand all of your records. We still live in a country where they must have probable cause to pursue us. They aren't going to chase their tails going after link lists and TGPs either. If they actually decide to enforce the new laws (which would be surprising), they are going to go after the content producers who provide us with the tasty porn in the first place.

I'm not telling anyone to use their 2257 docs as rolling papers. Just saying to use some common sense. Stay laid back and groovy. I'll get nervous when Cleo looks nervous.
