What are you going to do about this 2257 shit?

Not true. "Sexually explicit content" is defined in Sec. 2257 rules as anything described by 18 U.S.C Section 2256 (2) (A)-(D). You can see the full definition of "sexually explicit conduct" here:

but note that Sec. 2257 regulations do not include Sec. 2256 (2)(E)! Further, they make an exception if the conduct is merely simulated and not actual.

(h)

As used in this section -

(1)

the term ''actual sexually explicit conduct'' means actual but not simulated conduct as defined in subparagraphs (A) through (D) of paragraph (2) of section 2256 of this title;

So neither simple nudity, nor even spread beaver shots, are subject to Section 2257. Now, as soon as she puts a vibe in her pussy, voila! You are now subject to all 2257 rules regarding that content.

The biggest problem for a lot of folks is that you used to have to allow inspections "at all reasonable times." Whereas under the new language, there must be an authorized employee present at the physical location of the records at all times between 8am-6pm local time, seven days a week! If you go to lunch or take off for InterNext, and the DoJ shows up while you're gone, (and you know they'll try to do just that) you can get up to 5 years for violation, and they don't even have to look at your records!

Screw recordkeeping - even if it's all perfect, if you're a one-person operation, you can never leave town at all, or even your home except at night.
