Are facial images exempt from 2257? - GoFuckYourself.com

Are facial/cumshot/bukkake images exempt from the proposed 2257 changes so long as there's no genitilia visible in the images or movies?

Apollo · 08-31-2004, 06:25 PM

I've still got my lawyer researching this for me but from how I understand it...the new proposed law would only be necessary for hardcore images.

While what "hardcore" is decided upon by the courts I don't know yet...but I'd say face shots or any shot not actually showing nudity would be exempt. Facial shots (assuming the cock isn't being shown) may or may not be considered hardcore...after all, one would need to prove it's cum on the face in the first place =)

this brings up a bunch of questions:

what about softcore?

what about nude?

what if the girl is nude and masturbating?

what about simulated sex?

cum dripping off a face about the most sexually explicit you can get.

Just look at the cambria list.

that's really sad - adult webmasters running to a lawyer for sexual explicit definitions

Yet you would rather post on GFY for legal information first

No what is really sad is those in this profession who call themselves adult webmaster's yet do not even have a base understanding of this shit before they get envolved.

the question is, would the lawyer even know? actually could vary from state to state what sexually explicit means

AmateurFlix · 08-31-2004, 07:33 PM

Actually I was hoping someone would post a link to the proposed 2257 changes.

I've found it posted a few places, but nothing on a government website.

was posted all over the place a few weeks ago... now that I'm looking for it... no where to be found

You are a fussy little thing aren't you?

BTW, the word is spelled 'involved' not 'envolved'.

exactly

my guess is there's a handful of very highly priced lawyers in the country that are knowledgeable enough about this to give any kind of legitimate advice

I make spelling mistakes often. It is why I use a spell checker on documents that are important. I also use a lawyer for things that are important.

BTW, that first comment was not directed at you.

Then you have my apologies.

freeadultcontent · 08-31-2004, 07:42 PM

Ok lets keep this simple.

You will not find the new 2257 rules up on any government website. They are still proposed. The cut off date was for public comment. We are still under the current 2257 rules and will be until the proposed ones take effect, assuming they do without additional changes, and additional public comments.

The current 2257 rules clearly define what is sexually explicit.

studio · 08-31-2004, 07:43 PM

The sad thing is at least 80% of all adult sites don't comply correctly with 2257 as they stands now, let along if and when the new regs are passed and take affect. The feds could file charges on hundreds if not thousands of webmasters tomorrow if they had the man power.

A lot more money should be spent by webmasters on education of the governmental regs.

Not all websites are US based either.

I imagine if your not in the US and not running paysites you wouldn't be as worried.

Living outside the boarders does have advantages, but many US based sites simply don't comply. I don't care, it's just a fact.

It makes me sleep better at night knowing if big brother launches the long talked about attack on the adult industry. I will not be easy picking for them. They will have their hands full with all that are clearly not complying. They will pick them off first like cannon fodder.

Paul Markham · 08-31-2004, 08:20 PM

Think about it like this.

If you were in court argueing whether Facials were explicit or not, which side would you want to be on?

A lawyer will tell you to get the documents, they would have told you to get the documents this time last year. Lawyers try to keep their clients out of jail, it's their job.

Jimatcohf · 08-31-2004, 08:20 PM

dont know about the rest of you, but we here at cohf are fully 2257 compliant, we keep models records from day one, Guys if you shoot your own content, its your fault if you are not compliant. we dont take pic one without a 2257. These new regs are going to screw with the affiliates for sure but for the sites that shoot exclusive content we should be ok

What I'm talking about is not the webmasters, but the situation that US politicians/lawmakers has brought.

I understand that people are afraid of going to jail, but it's more a question about morality and not only laws, right?
The hole point is to avoid exploiting minors. If bukkake pics are exceptions from the 2257 proposal, does that mean that it is ok to show minors in bukkake pics, just because it is "legal"?
From what I see it does not need much sense to understand that 18+ is ok, and 18- is not ok. If people do not have that morality, well, let those people take that risk....
....you do not to nuke 2 big cities, just to hit some few people....THAT is sad

That's kind of my point, or at least a part of it... I just signed up for facialcash the other day. It's going to be more difficult to promote a site that's based on facials if I can't show a facial in the ads. I doubt you guys are going to supply ID's & model releases to your affiliates (maybe I'm wrong?)

Just trying to prepare for next month; I'd hate to build up an ad structure just to tear it down in a month or so.
