The Hammer is coming down

[seeric]

Kitty Boracho feels their pain!

[JD]

ah shit....

[C H R I S]

10 More companies on their list -

[Rick Latona]

Diabolic is in So Cal right? If so, I'd guess the other 9 on the list are in the same area.

[Webby]

Well.. that's got to be a fucking first on record.

WTF have they been doing for the last X years??

[seeric]

wonder who the other 9 are? pretty sure they will be primary producers who shoot their own stuff. most likely in porn valley. wouldn't make sense until the secondary producer thing is either ammended or upheld.

[marketsmart]

i think this is good news actually. if the govt comes in and looks at 10 diff companies and they all have their records in order, maybe the govt will stop this stupid witch hunt... at some point i am hoping that the govt will get it through their heads that the adult industry is just as interested in protecting children as they are. or at least as interested as they are around election time..

They dont need a warrant - 2257 gives them the right to inspect records during normal business hours.

True ms. In reality they have no interest in children other than to use them for votes. It's start that the FBI are now starting to check records - for a law passed almost a decade ago - also helps clear the air in the industry.

[AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE]

Production is not a casual thing. Has some very serious consequences here in the USA if you fuck up or fuck around.

This biz is not for the faint of heart and far from typical. The shit is right on the line and 1 step from Jail time at all times. People ought not have a "Business as usual" outlook. It's a rough business at all angles.

Good luck Diabolic!

Except #1 they aren't interested in logic and #2 "the children" are just a front, make no mistake there's alot of people that have the target painted on us, the legit porn peddler...

I gotta agree with you on this one ... Unless they want to spin things out on the porn industry, they will realise that there isn't anything shady going on in most big compagnies.

[WiredGuy]

Glad to read that their 2257's are in order. Let's hope the other 9 companies are too.

I would have to agree that it's almost certainly Primary Producers. They should be the only ones who need to actually keep the voluminous records anyway of course (IMHO). So they'd better be passing with flying colors Seems they are, which is great.

if they aren't after 10 years of the law being on the books there is no excuse.

[sherie]

Glad to see they are saving the world from the nasty porno pushers :/

Lets hope.

I wonder if the agents will request any free swag or dvd's for their own collection?

No shit. According to Bush we are engaged in this huge war on terror with sleeper cells in the US. Yet our FBI is making sure porn companies have the right documents on file.

[scoreman]

Was Diabolic a member of the FSC?

[xclusive]

Damn this will be interesting to follow

yeah i noticed that too. i think that is called tenure and rightfully exercised in posting a historic scoop.

lol.

Yes, I believe all the major video producers are FSC members.

[L-Pink]

Let's hope pornotube is one of the next inspected.

One of their Japanese, teens dressed as school-girls, gang-banged, no 2257 info provided clips .....

i would highly doubt that ... maybe "porn" movie producers, and even then thats a stretch .. i think you mean "american porn" producers and even then im not sure that thats correct unless a qualification of "major" is being an fsc member

Which brings up an interesting idea. Don't send out infringement/copyright warnings ... instead daily report 2257 violations to the Feds as a concerned web-master.

So sorry for not qualifying - most major U.S. Adult producers are FSC members. Happy?

[blazi]

well as long as they have nothing to hide and their content is all legal then they should have nothing to worry about

So true, and there is another 100,000 they need to go thru.

[Rolo]

So after the first 10 have been inspected and evaluated, then we can probably expect more in the coming weeks/months?

[UtahSaints]

damn, some heads are going to roll

Diabolic is a primary record keeper and have to abide by the 10+ year law.

FSC coverage with 2257 is over secondary record keepers.


Fight the tertiary record keepers!

[Azlord]

Did the stipulation that if you're a FSC member, that they can't come after you? I thought that was the deal.

[ProjectNaked]

An annual "reporting/inspection" day would be nice. Hope the companies on the list don't have any meetings, interviews, shoots, or other important LEGITIMATE business activites planed for the day. Interruptions suck, esp. if they can be avoided.

[czarina]

we've got nothing to fear, but it would suck to have them come and knock on our door... oh, wait! they don't operate outside the US, so I doubt they will send an agent here to check our paperwork (we do have it, just in case).

Interruptions are the least of your worries if no-one is there that day.

since when does your daily schedule have to revolve around unconstitutional searches???

Advance notice of inspections. Advance notice of record
inspections shall not be given.

Inspections shall take place during the producer's normal
business hours and at such places as specified in Sec. 75.4. For the purpose of this part, ``normal business hours'' are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., local time, Monday through Friday, or any other time during which the producer is actually conducting business relating to producing depiction of actual
sexually explicit conduct. To the extent that the producer does not maintain at least 20 normal business hours per week, producers must provide notice to the inspecting agency of the hours during which records will be available for inspection, which in no case may be less
than twenty (20) hours per week.

[ProjectNaked]

Like I said

- I know plenty mid-level primary producers/companies that are in the office 60 hours one week and not at all the next.

It's one thing for the big boys with 20 employees and "regular" business hours, but the majority of mid-level companies are less than 5 employees.

[The Captain]

I hope if they show up they dont show up in big black SUVs with FBI jackets on and shit cause all the office neighbors will wonder whats up....

And that is what I should tell the Federal Judge?
