Yes, I know I'm screaming. I just had a meeting with Greggory Piccionelli, THE 2257 attorney. His advice was absolutely clear:
Anybody who has any adult sites that are not in 100% FULL compliance with 2257 including cross referenced records of EVERY MODEL, EVERY URL, EVERY date of production, etc. should pull them down before the 23rd of June.
Get this, even if there is ONLY ONE model on the entire site, such as me, and only me, I would STILL need to comply with the record keeping for every URL, every date of production, etc. etc. etc.!!!!!
This is a wake up call. This is very serious. He said they are on a witch hunt, they are going to get people, and people are going to serve jail time.
He said ANY omission whatsoever in the recordkeeping exposes you to a first offense, resulting in a sentence of up to 5 years. The second offense (which they can come back the next day to bring charges on) is up to 10 years, with a MINIMUM of two years served plus a fine.
Even if you are "mostly" in compliance, this doesn't help at all....
JOIN THE FREE SPEECH COALITION (Yes, I know I'm shouting again). They are going to be filing an injunction against the statute, and only Coalition Members will be protected by it!
Wake up and DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO! After the injunction (if it is successful) the sites may be able to go back up. :cry:
I hope this helps. I am taking my sites down on Sunday, hopefully to put them back up after the injunction is filed.
Even my wife's site www.ringsofdesire.com which just shows clinical body piercing videos (including genital piercings) is risky and he advised her to get all of the graphic peircing shots/videos behind a credit card wall. Now she requires people to send a statement that they are over 18 with address and phone number. He said that is worthless! If you think a signature script at your entry will protect you, you're wrong.
Be smart and be careful!!!!!
