I agree that everyone should maintain IDs I do and have since way before 2257 was law. But thats where it ends. It is not incumbent upon me to prove my self innocent of a crime that never happened yet that is exactly what 2257 in it's current form demnds.
I shouldnt have to say this but within our industry child pornography is non existant.
You want to find where child porn is simple set up a yahoo or google alert for the word porn. You will get dozens of stories daily about people being arrested for child pornography, far and away most of them are teachers, clergy, police, daycare and politicians, NONE of the are pornographers.
As dumb as porners are we are smart enough to know that child porn is simply a losing proposition but even moreso it simply isnt our market. Now I have no doubt that if it were legal there are people in porn valley who would shoot a 12 year old and never think twice about it, but far and away I think most porners would disassociate themselves from this practice even if it were legal.
Personally I would roll over on anyone shooting or distributing CP in a heart beat and donate any reward to root out more of them.
But I shouldn't have to tell FTP or anyone else that 2257 does NOTHING to that end. Child pornographers dont keep records y'all. If some 17 year old manages to slip through the cracks in this biz we have always gotten a hold of it quickly but it is VERY rare. We did that even before 2257 was law.
Make no mistake about it 2257 is an attempt to legislate us out of business in an era when juries are disinclined to convict on obscenity charges.
