2257 regs published in full

Useless · 2005-05-30, 11:13 PM

2257 is for pussies.

Remember, porn is perfectly legal in most places. The function that we fulfill is NOT illegal and is NOT being made illegal by the updated regs. If you are not using content in which the age of the models is obviously questionable you really shouldn't have anything to worry about. If you promote teens with braces who pose with teddy bears, you may want to consider a safer niche.

Deal with this one step at a time so that you don't get stressed by something which is relativley minor. First, get your 2257 statement up on the root of your domains. I haven't done this yet either and I'm still searching around for one that everyone agrees to be legally correct. I'll probably just copy and paste GG's.|cool|

I realize that a great many of you find publishing your name on your sites to be a great burden, but unless you are hosting pics of yourself, it really isn't that big of a deal. For those of you who operate your own amateur sites and your content is indeed pics and movies of you, it is my god-like opinion that you should NOT publish your true name and address. Use either your attorney's name and office address or a company name and P.O. box. In your particular situation it is a huge breach of privacy which will undoubtly be proven to be a hinderance to your right to free speech.

Then start working on gathering your model releases and IDs. Much of this portion of the record keeping is still very hazy. You're still seeing a fair amount of bickering on what you have to have, how to get it, and where to keep it. Get what you can and don't lose sleep over that which you cannot obtain. Again, if you are using content which is obviously comprised of adults performing legal sex acts, you have much less to stress over. Those of you promoting things like implied r*pe or teens sites which use the word y*ung a lot, well, fuck you anyway.

I realize that my rather laid back attitude on dealing with 2257 may gather some criticism, but I think most you realize that I don't really care about that. What I do care about is getting us all through this, smoothly and sanely. Stop worrying that someone is going to raid your home and take you away. It's not going to happen. And stop listening to people who are promising you that it will.

UW, I'm not terribly concerned about a visit from the men in bad suits. There are lots of other sites that will draw their attention long before anything I have online.

If you'd like a slightly different spin on a 2257 statment take a look at mine. http://www.bevyofbabes.com/legal.php

UW: I am not sure I agree with your address theory. I have read the regs over and over and it plainly says a Post Office Box will not comply! In addition, neither will an attorney's office. It must be YOUR place of business. I am indeed the model of my site and no, I don't want to put my name and address out there. I have made other arrangements for a place of business. I have had guys trying their best to figure out where I am because they want to "catch up with me". Too scary a thought.

What I didn't see was anything in the regs that prevents me from using my company name which is a legal corporation and all that pertains to my site is under that corporation.

You shouldn't agree with it. It's not legal according to the regs, but let's face it, some laws get broken for damned good reasons. I think that anyone who hosts content of themselves would be a damned fool for publishing their name and home address on their site.
