Danny, this is one of those areas I simply can't understand you.....
And maybe, you can't understand me. It's probably cultural.
But here it is......I don't have a problem with 2257 as a guideline to running the adult industry. The problem starts when the government ASSUMES I'm breaking the law until I PROVE I'm innocent. THAT, is the problem.
If you've employed someone under 18, you should fry. But only if you intended to commit the crime. Lest we forget Traci Lords, and her little game. I could have easily gone to jail for life over that little deal, and i never intended to commit ANY crime. And who did they hang? The agent. Not her, and not her mom who produced false documents, and swore she was 18. But as a result of her INTENTIONAL breaking of the law, a man served 4 years (was it?) in prison, ruined for life, and this whole little wheel of misery got rolling. We had the meese commission, and ultimately, the 2257 regulation nonsense. People "of the web" forget this all got started from the video biz, not the internet biz.
In any event, in THIS country, I'm supposed to be innocent until PROVEN guilty. Not Guilty, until I prove myself innocent.
And it's really that simple. That's where I draw the line. The constitution is very clear on this.
