Why 2257 is very very important and able to protect you. Important to read.
I've always been a supporter of 2257 and encouraged others to support it and adhere to it. Today I got a letter from a Public Defender that enforce my belief in 2257.
It's from a public defender in Tampa Florida asking me for documentation that 2 models were over the age of 18 at the time of the shooting of the content. As I read it I was thinking this is going to be easy as they've enclosed photos of the models. Eva or I should be able to recognise them and supply the documents.
Only problem is, it isn't our content.
We don't recognise the models, scenes or locations. Not even content we broker or bought in to resell. The defendant obviously in deep trouble, this isn't a 2257 charge as he clearly doesn't have the documents. It's a child porn charge and he is SCREWED. Because I can't even find his name or the site in our database.
So he doesn't know who shot the content and guessing it was us. The site named in the letter is still up and looking at it I don't see any of our content there. But he's got some young looking girls on the site. And he doesn't have 2257 documents and he doesn't know for sure who shot the content and he's being defended by a public defender.
At least this letter found the desk of somebody that is still around to open it or bothered to ring Florida and explain that the content isn't his. It might be the sender will be getting a few letters "Return to Sender, Address not Found"
So the next time you post the solution of the producer being responsible for 2257 documents. Remember this poor guy chasing documents he's clueless of the origin of the content. Well at least the 2 scenes he thinks we produced.
The publisher should keep the documents.
