Hi Everyone
Here is where I get confused:
The new regs are supposedly for child protection (keeping minors out of adult movies) and that is stated in the purpose of filing the new regs by Gonzales organization.
Okay, with that said...
An online retail outlet such as our sites versus a brick & mortar retail outlet.
Pick a studio, any studio (Falcon, Catalina, All Worlds, Hot Desert Knights).
We show only the front and back cover on our sites. Some if not most covers have explicit images. The same thing a customer would see when walking into a brick & mortar adult store. They pick it up and they can see the front and back and the same explicit images. No difference, right?
So why are retail outlets exempt from the new regs in 2257 and an online retail outlet not? Remember, there's no difference in the front and back covers, it's the same movie.
If the government is concerned about minors being in porn and that's what these new regs are for as described by the Gonzales org, then why exempt brick and mortar's?
What's good for the goose, is good for the gander!!!
As a secondary producer (retail outlet be it online or brick/mortar) we depend on the studio/producer to make sure they aren't filming minors in their movies. They are required to check ID's, yada, yada...
Once the movie has been released, all of us deem it to be legal.
If the movie is found to be illegal for whatever reason.... just like a drug that has been tampered with, or a vehicle manufactured with a defective part, then simply do a "Recall". All retailers simply pull it off the shelf and send it back to the manufacturer.
It just makes sense that the government would need a lot less manpower to research all the necessary documentation if they had only the primary producer's records to check/verify and not have to worry about secondary producers.
I don't see the government going out to a Ford Dealership to make sure that the vehicle has a Ford emblem on it and is indeed a Ford vehicle and made by Ford.
Am I making sense?
