need help...
Hello
Basically the problem is this: I have opened up a store on a particular website, and they have closed my store. They claim I am in contravention of the 2257 regulations that I believe govern the porn industry.
Here is the background. I make flashing videos...that is I flash women, I video their reactions and that, simply put, are the sorts of videos I make. I do NOT masturbate, I do NOT touch myself. It is simply a case of nudity in public, which in the country I reside in is NOT illegal.
But this site that has closed me down are saying that I need signed releases from the "models", that is from the women involved.
MY QUESTION IS THIS: is what I'm doing part of the porn industry. That is, I do NOT hire anyone, there is NO sexual act of any kind (if you accept that mere nudity is not a sexual act) I am simply recording live events as they occur in public. The site that has closed me down say that it occurs within four walls (some of my videos do, some of them don't)...but the "four walls" are still public places where the public go...such as shops, foyers, and so on.
Would appreciate it if anyone could clear this up. I do not understand the porn industry very well, but I do not think I am a part of it...and so I do not think 2257 applies...but maybe I am wrong...would appreciate help on this
