Sorry, I forgot
THAT country, the United States, is the greatest country on earth and the only one to have "innocent until proven guilty"
But isn't
THAT the same country that suspends Habeas Corpus whenever it feels like it?
ah, just F'ing with you.
But Michael does bring up a good point on how easy we actually have it in our industry when it comes to regulations and paper work. I came out of Aerospace & Defence and the hoops we had to jump through for any little thing we did was amazing! That's why I don't mind keeping up with these 2257 requirements, it's really a nothing thing.
I do agree that the way the US handles some of these cases like the Traci Lords fiasco is just backwards. In Canada, the underage person supplying the fraudulent documents would be the one charged, not the producers or anyone else caught up in the fraud. About 10 years ago, we had a girl come in for an audition, and things did get explicit. She has ID on her that showed she was 19 years old. We then shoot a scene with her and two guys and put it up on one of our sites. 2 months later, she comes back and this time givs us her correct ID! She had turned 18 the week before. We found out that on her first audition, she had brought in her sister's ID who looked exactly like her. We of course pulled the content, but did not destroy it. My lawyer took possession of it, along with the copies of the original ID and her proper one. He also took affidavits from those involved. If anything had come from it, we would have had proof she defrauded us, and we would have been just fine.
