How will affiliate programs deal with the new 2257 regulations?
Yes the laws are going to get tighter and people will become more organized. My question is this: How will TGP submitters/Free site submitters, Link List and TGP owners keep these documents? If they use sponser provided content, will the sponsers be required to provide the documents with it's affiliates via zip files? How will the models react when their info can potentially end up in the hands of thousands of submitters and owners of "free porn sites"?
What do you think will happen? Will their be an industry standard or is this an "every man for himself" type situation? |

There is no easy answer. We're still trying to figure it out

Site owners of rating sites like hot or not, dating service sites, etc. will all fall under this. The time to figure this out is now. Not the day before these regulations come into effect. |

Wouldn't this open up the pitfall of a potential stalker/fan causing some real problems to the poor model?

Even if their users are posting harder pics, there has also been debate about whether sites that allow users to post their own pictures will fall under the law. For example, AOL chatrooms are probably not going to open AOL up to 2257 rules. Does that mean that dating site chatrooms will be covered? What about dating site profiles? Who knows? As usual with the adult industry, the rules will be written during prosecutions. Who wants to volunteer for that? |

Sure we can "see a lawyer", but if the lawyer isn't familiar with the biz, how can we be sure that his word is concrete. Can anybody recommend a lawyer in LV that is "in the know"? |

People are just thinking of the docs and at the same time avoiding reality. If this flies and it probably will, are we all ready to ditch our affiliate income? Not many will stay afloat (program owners included) without affiliate income. This is a BIG issue and I'm amazed that so many have shrugged their shoulders and kept carrying on biz like everything is peachy keen. We need to be ready when the wave hits of we'll all drown. |

Wont it be acceptable for programs to provide the 2257 info, and the webmasters to simply link to all the 2257 pages supplied by each sponsor?
I was thinking it would be similar to the Deluxe Pass 2257 links, where they break it down by studio, and have a seperate link for each for the webmasters to link to. |

Some lawyers who proudly represent the adult industry and are active at conventions, in court, etc:

I say there should be some kind of convention or a meeting with people that are really concerned about this and everybody bring ideas to the table and brainstorm how to tackle this problem. Everybody who knows "better" will already be aware that "last minute" work gets you no where. So i think it should be an industry wide effort to figure out how to face the problem before it gets here.

Hmmm.
Well, if they do pass it and actually enforce it, may do more good than bad imo. But, I do see where the concern is... I really don't think it would get passed if it were to be that any Joe Blow could have personal information like that. They may not like/support the adult industry, but they aren't about to go tearing it down. It would sure make for a lot of law suits by the models having some kind of a mega problem with that! Why would they want to change it? It is now so that a webmaster can show the company name etc. of the actual content provider so if there are any problems from a legitimate source (ie FBI) they can easily go to the content producer and see the documents from them... I'm sorry, I just don't get it...I guess. |

correct me if I'm wrong as I honestly haven't read much about , but wasn't it just a proposed change to the 2257 law? and nothing is set in stone just yet?

My lawyer said the people that are probably going to be in 2257 the gun sights first are going to be the teen sites. The goal he said is for them to win, its hard to go in front of a jury saying you are protecting kids with 2257 and you are going after old lady.com. If they start looking they dont even have to look hard to find violations in reality, cust of records info with a po box or a email address or nothing at all. There will be a thinning of the herd.

The cold slap in the face of reality will be , when on one terrible day ( which I hope never comes) There will be posting on this board someone we all know has been arrested. When that happens probably one third will quit the business that day. The first am girl site they get the mom running it out of her home and they take the kids away 50 percent of am sites will be gone. Alot of these people will be the same people who told me I worried too much and I was too conservative for porn. It's very sad

What we are going to do is put each models ID online, we are going to black out everything but the picture and her birth date. Each picture will have a number.
Webmasters can link back to our 2257 page to show where the record is and who owns the content. If they want the record after that they can call or fax me and I will gladly send it. As long as you don't show neglect you won't get into trouble, just keep your shit together.

well, if the law goes thorugh why not open an offshore mailing address in spain for all models to use and then use a call fowarding service that will foward all calls to a prepaid cell phone. The offshore mailing address is only about $200 a year and a prepaid phone doesnt really cost anything since you wont be using it to answer stalker's calls.

If you have a link to what TheDoc is saying, you're fine. Remember, TheDoc HAS the original documents and the feds aren't gonna waste their time when your lawyer can subpoena TheDoc for his model id and releases. They'll go after someone who doesn't have the link on their site. |

If the laws do get changed, and worse comes ot worse it will deff have a major effect on the way affil programs are run, This is yet one more reason I am glad we switched to 3D / Anime content Even if worse comes to worse we will not be effected by the changes, Unless that is the nazi's turn their sites on the cartoon niche, then we'll get fucked.
All I can say cross your collective fingers, maybe this will not go through, never know stranger shit has happened. -Loki-

I think if you just make a page with all the content providers you bought from you should be safe. If they keep all the records for you it should be covered.
As far as I understand you only have to own the legal documents if you are dealing directly with the models. As a client from a content provider you are not dealing with the models so the content provider is responsible.

This is a perfect example of laws intended to PROTECT people actually putting people in great danger and just being a waste of time and energy. It's a bad stupid counterproductive law that doesn't help ANYBODY and only serves to handicap the adult industry. The 2257 laws are as stupid as if they'd pass laws making cashiers make & maintain copies of customer id's everytime they card someone buying tobacco or alcohol. |

Here is the direction that I'm going to take. It's about the best way I see myself doing it. I think this is safe enough to cover my ass.
Each one of our models will have a numbered dir with her file in it. The file will have a picture of the DL, which show the picture and the birth date only, and the numbered dir as a reference number. The numbers for each model will correspond the hard copy records in my office. Seeming they know where the office is, my phone, e-mail, and fax number. If they need a model release/id, etc.. Then it's as simple as a faxing it to them. In our webmasters area each of the models free content will have a link to that models 2257 page and / or they can link directly to my main 2257 page. My 2257 page is going to link to other peoples 2257 page for content that I have purchased or lease. I feel that is safe enough to cover my ass.

This shit is a really fucking bad proposition the "industry-killers" have made...
Some of you guys expressed concerns about privacy etc. by handing out model-info to webmasters.. How about giving Mr. Joe "The Stalker" Pornsurfer the ability to track down and harass (and who knows what more) any model he fancies..!!? Now THAT'S a potential privacy-fucker this could end up meaning..

While everyone's concerns for model privacy are valid, I have to ask do you really think anyone outside the industry cares??
This could have a chilling effect on our business. The folks on the right who are pushing this thing could simply say "hey, if you're willing to fuck on film then the price you pay is to have everyone know who you are and where you live" Say goodbye to all the new talent coming into this business. The point of laws like these isn't that they want people to keep better records, they're simply trying to bitchslap the industry. I think we (as an industry) should challenge the regs in court and get a temporary injunction before the feds start shutting people down and locking them up.
