VERY Important Information From The DOJ Re:2257
Greetings:
Ok, I'm not sure how many of you have read the government's latest filing in the 2257 lawsuit. Here's one VERY VERY interesting bit of information. I'm not sure which part of their ass they pulled this from, but apparently the DOJ is now saying that model privacy will not be violated when Primary Producers provide records to Secondary Producers, because Primary Producers have the option of censoring information on IDs that isn't necessary to verify age, aka their address etc. etc. Hell, you can even black out every part of their date of birth except the year, as long as the model wasn't 18 at time of production. Funny, I don't remember reading about this option in the regs? If the DOJ back peddles any faster their wheels are likely to fall off:
Quote:
Plaintiffs assert that the regulations will violate the right to privacy of performers by requiring primary producers to provide personal identification information to secondary producers. Defendant previously pointed out that the constitutional right to privacy is wholly inapplicable in this context, and plaintiffs exaggerate the threat by exaggerating the number of producers that would have to be provided with this information. To avoid any potential risk to privacy, however, primary producers can simply redact information that is unnecessary to verifying a performer’s age from the copies that they provide to secondary producers. Unnecessary information would include a performer’s residential address and their day and month of birth (unless the performer is 18 as of the date of the performance)
