DWB. Here is what you should do. Go into NATS. Do a member search for all active members billed by Epoch. It won't be many since we all keep Epoch last or next to last in the cascade because they are so expensive compared to your merchant account.
Write up an email with instructions for them all to cancel their memberships through Epoch. And include a link for them to re-sign up through your merchant account along with an extra free month included. Then you've just saved the few Epoch rebills. Now simply take them out of the cascade. Done. |

Eh...it beats arguing with them. You've given them a couple of options (of course not ones that they are likely to do since they don't want any part of the FBI or any govt. agency either)
I woulda thought they would have had someone with some stroke there contact you like a real business and talk it over with you to make you feel a little more at ease. But if not...it ain't like Epoch is that big a deal to most people doing real sales anyway. And like Dirty D said earlier...not only is price a bit of a factor, but the way they try to dictate to people what can and can't be on a website (not talking about illegal stuff). There is a reason that Epoch doesn't have the kind of coverage that they had a few years back. And most of us who deal with them know that. But they were good for x-sales. I'll give 'em that. |

If those pictures were posted on page 1, the next 10 pages would have been full of "No fucking way" comments.
I am not surprised Epoch stopped commenting. This thread hasn't been the best publicity for them. ![]()

Based on epoch's stupid request, I think I will email ALL of the sponsor's I use and tell them I need to see the ID's of all of the models that are in the content that they provide to me to use...I wonder how far that will go..LOL

interesting thread..i also dont think it is just anyone's right to demand model releases.
although it is also their right not to allow you to process with them hard call..but certainly not goign to start handing out releases to anyone who asks them |

It has nothing to do with if demanding you jerking off in a cup monthly is legal or not in the U.S. or abroad. It is a COMPLIANCE issue with their T.O.S. demanding to see docs (whether they blame it on VISA, merchant bank, or the boogie man) for asking to see them. Not a 2257 issue. ![]() |

Someone please explain it to me, like I am 3 years old, how an ID that looks like this, is going to protect them, or verify a single thing?

2) If it's not a 2257 issue, why did they SPECIFICALLY ask for my "2257 documents" for those models? They didn't say anything about "compliance" or their TOS. |

re read it... What i meant was ( now im not positive as i havent signed said agreement) that i doubt they have the method of just giving the ids over to them stated clearly like that. So that would make it the next method that is standard, correct? I may be wrong, another assumption...

However, when they ask for "2257 documents" that is more than just an ID. That is the ID, along with the form that has the models personal information on it, including stage names, aliases, current address, and so on. There is a difference. So I have to say, given they are the all trustworthy, all knowing and all powerful Epoch, I would think they would get their terminology down when requesting such a thing, and as Robbie suggested, have someone with a little stroke do the requesting. However, by them not doing so, for any of that, and having Joe from Support ask for this, it makes them look VERY unprofessional in my book. |

![]() ![]() I see your point. I also go out of my way to protect the identity of the models I shoot, although I think I would comply with a legitimate request from an ISPS. However, I don't blame you for your suspicion about a Tech Support dude requesting ID info on two models whom on first glance appear 18+, especially when they have similar features. Hopefully you two can work it out... ![]() ADG |

And I can answer that one: It doesn't. Starting to look more like a power trip on Epoch's part. If they really believe that those two girls are underage and that DWB isn't keeping proper records...then they should immediately terminate his processing with them and call the FBI. Instead they are trying to order him to do something that as a producer he is NOT gonna do. I can understand that Epoch has to make sure that they aren't processing anything illegal. But they pretty much fired off a command for him to do it via an email. They could have written him and asked him to call them and discuss it. Or any of a million ways that people do business together. This whole thing points out one of the problems with the govt. sticking their nose where it doesn't belong (2257 laws) and the list of problems that arise because of it. Also after reading this and googling up "girlfriend sex" I found Epoch & CC Bill to be the main and most times ONLY processors for sites that don't have any 2257 records at all. How can that be? And why aren't they shutting off their processing to such sites? Seems as if they are talking out of both sides of their mouths on this one. They want DWB to put them above the power that even the FBI has and say it is to protect them from VISA regulations. And at the same time they are processing VISA for sites that supposedly are breaking all those VISA rules. Just seems crazy to me... |

this issue is such a non-issue. If there is a legitimate issue with a models age, it should be brought to the attention of the police.
Epoch can't possibly verify any of the id's sent to them legally. The id's do nothing. ( other than open up a huge avenue for unscrupulous activity blackmail/identity theft/stalkers/ etc

Maybe it's a case of Epoch being able to say that they made every effort within legal means to verify? Perhaps that is what is needed to cover their ass in case someone were using underage content. That's the only thing I can see that makes sense.
But the processing for sites that don't have 2257 like girlfriend sites doesn't make sense to me. |

but there are a few problems with that. #1 and most important it may not be legal #2 without asking for every i.d. they havent done there best to verify much at all. Quote:
i.e. off the top of my head i would assume if your intention was to make sure your clients had legal content would be to either check ALL id's or ask for a random sampling from EVERY client at signup and at various times throughout the partnership. The sites would be fully aware of this and dwb wouldn't be here asking why. My guess would be the 2 solutions would hurt business ( bye bye gf sites who wouldnt be able to provide a random sampling of 2257 docs at signup = bye bye $$$ ) In a nutshell.. Getting rid of possible underage content doesnt make them any money, protecting themselves legally while not scaring away customers = $$$ although i dont really see how that argument would help them legally. IMAGINARY COURT CASE - U.S. vs EPOCH ----------------------------------------------- JUDGE - "epoch you are hereby charged with processing for a pornsite with underage content" EPOCH - "it's a lie your honour, you see what we do is every so often we pick a site from a hat and ask for 2 of the models id's" JUDGE - " oh well in that case , you are free to go " EPOCH - "phew" -----------------------------------------------

I do not have time to read this entire thread, but has anyone pointed out that ONLY those appointed by the DOJ have any rights to view ANY 2257 documentation. That is stated in the law.

It's kinda like they have hired people to look for this kind of thing...and since it's pretty obvious that is an overwhelming task with hundreds, maybe thousands of sites and hundreds of thousands of images and movies to look at...so the low salary guy who has that job makes sure to ask for a few id's from different sites so he can say to his superior: "Hey look! I verified some more ID's this month. My job is necessary"
