Law
of HR 4472 – the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of
2006
From Title V - Child Pornography Prevention
Title V of HR 4472 amends 18 USC § 2257 – the federal labeling
and record keeping law – so that “secondary” producers now have
the same onerous record-keeping burdens as primary producers,
and adds mere nudity to the list of content that comes under the
reach of 2257.
Secondary
producers are required to keep records, but, under the regulations,
a secondary producer can obtain copies of the primary producer’s
records, organize them, and make them available for inspection,
so long as the secondary also records the primary producer’s name
and address.

FBI
Checking 2257 Records
We warned that it would be coming... the
government is cracking down on law abiding mainstream adult companies
to try and catch them violating 2257 regulations (which state
that there must be proper documentation to prove that anyone photographed
or filmed nude is 18 years or older.) The problem with these inspections
is that to catch child pornographers you are not going to find
them in mainstream adult companies.
Mainstream
adult companies make too much money off of legitimate adult porn
to risk losing it all by filming or photographing a minor... so
it is most often a waste of tax payers money for FBI agents to
be rifling through mainstream adult companies to catch a child
pornographer. The real child pornographers are not going to have
paperwork... because what they are doing is illegal. It is like
the FBI raiding pharmacies to catch drug dealers.
FBI agents began inspecting records of their first mainstream
adult video company Diabolic Video to review record
keeping regulations of 18 U.S.C. §2257. It has been announced
that there are several other mainstream companies that will be
getting a visit from the FBI as well. These inspections are the
first time any adult company had ever been visited in the 11 years
that the regulations have been in effect to verify its compliance
with the record keeping requirements of §2257.
Diabolic
Video passed with flying colors, and the FBI is now working
toward inspecting more legitimate companies to make sure they
too are in compliance. It is quite frustrating that our government
is wasting time on mainstream companies that have nothing to do
with child pornography. There are real criminals out there and
it would be nice to live in a world were a 'political show' to
keep right winged voters thinking the government is actually doing
something useful was the last thing we would waste our time on.
It would be better if they would go after real child pornographers
and not waste their time on legitimate adult companies as they
smile to the press and say... look we are doing our job saving
the world from child porn. Yeah, sure you are. Read
