Since we are “secondary producers,” how have you been able to comply with Section 2257 while as an adult affiliate? This is the part that makes me the most nervous. What kind of questions should I inquire with an affiliate program in order to comply with this law? How do you manage this with displaying material from tube sites?
I think most people in porn have sorta forgotten about 2257. I mean producers do their record keeping, but there’s been almost no discussion of it and prosecutions are almost unheard of these days.
Here’s how it seems to me:
Paysite owners are collecting the models docs and keeping them on file.
Everyone else, i.e. adult bloggers, TGPs, freesites, link lists, review sites etc (everyone who didn’t produce the content) seem to be pretty much ignoring 2257. Some have a statement that says, “The 2257 docs are maintained by the producer” or something similar.
I might be wrong, but I haven’t heard of a secondary site like an affiliate blog ever getting hit with an inspection or a problem. In fact, it’s been a long time since I heard of an inspection of anyone in the news.
So I’m not sure where 2257 even stands legally ain’t more.
Are affiliates in infrigement of the law? Don’t really know. I don’t really care because I’m in Canada and my government has laws protecting people’s privacy, so even if I did have the docs of a porn model appearing on my blog, and I don’t because SC isn’t giving them out, I couldn’t even show the DOJ if they came knocking without breaking my own country’s laws, and the DOJ couldn’t even come here to inspect.
