Mainstream gets it's taste of 2257

[Peaches]

Maybe I'm missing the point here, but why would mainstream care? IIRC, all actors must be members of SAG where information is gathered and I would ASSume they get required ids already due to labor laws regarding underaged workers.

HOWEVER, where I can see it affecting them is the secondary producer BS. If they treat them as they are treating us, every video store, Amazon, Netflix, etc. will need all the 2257 documents also.

I think that's where Halloywood has the problem with 2257

I'd always assumed the Rebecca Shaffer law would apply to this type of thing.

This is the same news that came out in mid-Sept.

Why Hollywood would care is exactly with the secondary producer deal... Within adult secondary producers are (in most cases) at least still webmasters, and can be considered working in the industry.

[quote]Calling it the Child Pornography Prevention Act of 2005, and claiming that it “strengthens the hand of law enforcement in investigating and bringing charges of obscenity,” Congressman Pence (R-IN) introduced new legislation Monday that would extend 2257 record keeping requirements to certain instances of mere nudity and to merely simulated sexual acts, and would also extend record keeping obligations to mere distributors of adult content, which would include retail stores that only sell DVDs or videos without touching the actual content.[/b]

I don't think that the megastars of Hollywood, would want their ID's quite THAT widely distributed... there's a lot of video stores out there, and a lot of creeps too, I'm sure there's some creeps running video stores.
