That's a bullshit law that was enacted a few years ago to save the "children" (small children) from pedophiles...or at least that's the bullshit excuse the govt. gave. In reality no pedophiles have ever kept any records anyway and are unaffected by 2257 laws. Only honest people are put through the govt. torture rack. Anyway, Traci Lords did not cause the 2257 laws. There were already laws in place that prevented people from shooting porn with girls under the age of 18. Also keep in mind that just has to do with using a camera. You can legally have sex with girls from 15 to 18 years old depending upon the state you are in and their age of consent laws.
Actually, 2257 IS a direct result of Traci Lords. The origins of 2257 go back as far as 1988.

My point in the matter however is that a model that is determined enough, can attain the appropriate documents, and there is NOTHING that any producer can do OTHER than check those very ID's...especially when it's a GOVERNMENT ID.

And a model most certainly isn't above lying that she IS over the age of 18, OR, if the purpose suits her, saying she WAS underage when she in fact WASN'T (anyone know the name Risi Simms?).
