"The evidence shows the government has not conducted a Section 2257 inspection since 2007. Rather, the FBI dismantled the inspections program in early 2008, and there has been no intent or effort to revive it. It is moribund."

....but still enforceable. I'll cheer once it's truly dead and buried. The gov't could have just been waiting for this ruling?
Me, too.
But as a one-man shop, who works from home, it is some relief.
And, should be, too, for other one-man shops who frequent here from the US, Canada and Europe.
The specter of an appeal is discussed here http://www.xbiz.com/news/166317. And as someone who has studied 1st Amendment Law a bit, the 3rd is the better place for any court case. That's where shooting porn in Cali became blessed.
Also, as a content producer who shoots 50% non-sexual nude, I get a lot of contact from European models who happen to be visiting Las Vegas, or Los Angeles.
Now, if they do not have a US ID, to the letter of the law, I can't shoot with them! Because they don't have a US ID in the US.
Which to me is more about "working" in the US, than a proof of age issue.
Were there ever any inspections?
The article states that there were "29 inspections conducted in 2006 and 2007".
