It's obviously impossible to have a rational discussion about this here, because the people willing to discuss it are too emotionally involved.

I don't like this law, but I do understand the need for it. I don't think it's a case of the government harrassing pornographers, it's a law that is necessary in order to prosecute real CP.

(I'll say this again....how can you prove a model was underage if there was no ID copied at the time of production? The answer is you can't. Therefore someone could shoot CP and never get caught because there would never be proof that the model was underage. With the 2257 law, that person would at least go to jail for not keeping records, and having that person locked up would protect children)

Nobody is willing to answer this question or provide a better alternative.
Gideon tried, but the method he came up with is actually much more complicated and harder to implement and enforce. He just likes it because it wouldn't require him to keep records, it would put all of the responsibility on someone else.

Everyone else seems to be doing just what we always do here....bitch about what we don't like about this law, without offering a better way to do it.
