So today is the deadline for 2257.
Has anyone been arrested yet?
Are any of you biting your nails in anticipation of an unwelcome knock at your door?

So today is the deadline for 2257.
Has anyone been arrested yet?
Are any of you biting your nails in anticipation of an unwelcome knock at your door?
Why would anyone be arrested today?
Its only the deadline for the public comments on the new proposed 2257 requirements.
There is still a minimum of at least 60-90 days before any of these proposed canges will go into effect, if at all.
Dont beleive the keyboard lawyers with all 'the sky is falling' BS.

How poetically put lee :specs:
I got arrested, but for something completely unrelated.

Brian, just cuz Jasun has a goatee doesn't make him a goat :wtf:

I only posted this as a joke. Last month everyone thought 8/24 was going to be the 9/11 of the porn business.

So in other words, it was the April 1 of the porn business.

Where did this Sept 24th day come from? Guess someone's bad dream....
My fellow webmasters there is NO DATE. Knowing how the federal government works, you all can sleep tight at night for many more months to come. If the proposed and that is the keyword - proposed - changes to the records keeping requirements of 2257 do become a matter of law, it will be long after the elections, long after the holidays.
not according to lawyers i talked with. they said that if the new regs are not changed at all, the grace period starts at the end of the comment period. this is because these are additions to an existing law, so the time it takes to make a new law doesn't apply.
if you have other information, please give us details. i'm biting my nails down to my wrists here *LOL*
Seek advise from additional counsel. The advice given to you is not the way the system works. My brother-in-law who works for the Department of Justice assures me that what you have been advised is not valid.
thanks. the attorneys i talked with are major players in our industry, and were recommended to me by other webmasters and content providers. perhaps i misunderstood - i will ask further details and post them here.
basschick, thanks for the extra info, any info on this is very welcome! anyone know if any changes are going to go thru yet?
cheers,
Luke
August 24th was the end of the comment period for PROPOSED changes in the regulations. As of 8/26/04, I have not seen that any steps have been taken to make the proposed changes into actual regulations. Basically, at this time, Ashcroft & Co. have said, "How about we change the regulations to say all this new stuff??" : no changes have been made YET. In order for the proposals to become real, they must first be published in the Federal Register. 30 days after they are published, THEN they become enforceable regulations [simply put, they become law 30 days after they are published, which publication has not happened].
Nothing has happened yet. We will have at least 30 days notice before any new regulations become enforceable--kind of like that siren that goes off a few minutes before the tornado comes.
I am a lawyer in real life too, not just on the internet.
