The Netherlands add 2257 law July 1st
 

officially announced yday, all models on dutch servers need MR and ID to prove theyre 18 or over starting July 1st

good - theres a whole lotta shit on dutch servers and Im glad this law is effective July 1st. I know some will move but at least its not on our servers anymore and Ive already seen amat content sites who posted concerns. Closing down would be nice. I still cannot believe how much "sites" process with newsgroup content and get away with it.

Well not here anymore.

Does that include "dog years" for the majority of the models from the Netherlands?

Shit. I gotta move my beast sites with 17 year old Russian girls off the dutch servers.

I BEEAT YOUUUUUUUUU. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

only a matter of months till thats illegal too

Russian girls are gonna be made illegal? Fuck, the red hammer is gonna be a whole bunch of really surly guys for the next 40 years.

nah the beast stuff offcourse nothing wrong with 18+ russian girls :)

Considering some of those girls, this ban may outright knock them off. BORSCHTBUCKS is gonna be feeling some pain. :thumbsup

thank you for telling us.

please provide a link to this news and more details about the new law.

ANP the dutch press agency released this

http://frontpage.fok.nl/nieuws/93081...8-jaar-is.html

Ill check for an english version, in 2 words the preliminary law has been passed and agreed upon that this has to be arranged and effective July 1st

Thanks for the short news story.

It would be nice to read the law ... in Dutch or another language. could be a simple law or could be a nightmare.

if you can read dutch then Im sure you can retrieve the actuall bill at nieuwspoort or any ANP source

and I really dont get why it could be a nightmare, we have ALL 2257 docs modelreleases and IDs for every single model in place so complying to this isnt a problem at all for us

why would this be a nightmare for you?

That's fine:)

That must be good for your business, a lot of people will go out in flames.

Great news! :)

It might be a nightmare for a lot of smaller or medium sized program owners and webmasters.
Untill a couple of years ago you would when you buy content just check the id's yourself to make sure all is fine, put content online and forget about it, I bet a lot of people lost various kind of documentation they have on their content.

everyone - including us - who takes this biz seriously has all proper docs and IDs in place for every model

the ppl who are worried are the ones who have paysites and blogs with questionable content making money of it. Thats why this new law is proposed, theyre sick and tired of the shit that is produced and hosted in the Netherlands and the image it gives to outsiders of us dutchies.

We already had some lawsuits of girls who pressed charges for posting their pics without releases and many more will come. Thumbsup Id say. Serious biz needs serious guidelines. Not ppl who make money of other ppls questionable pics.

Allthough I agree, it still can be a nightmare anyways if they come over to check everything and eat a week of your time ;))

How long before we start getting requests for back up IDs and and MRs from people who suddenly had the hard drives crash? :1orglaugh

I have always thought 2257 was a good law, yes maybe the AG went over board with the changes, and should be applied more.

that is one thing that will start happening yes I totally get that

thats why we have all docs and IDs on paper and online, I can cross-search any doc on name, real name, serie name etc

I doubt if they start doing that randomly though, the ones that look dodgy will be checked first I guess

Timeconsuming-wise yes itll be a pain, but for a good cause

I visited nieuwspoort.nl but I could not find the law. Until we read the law, we can only guess what is in the law. If the law is difficult to comply with, then I won't host in nl. it is that simple.

2257 in Holland....just amazing....most liberal country for Porn on earth now has to comply with 2257 and will ban animal and 5 other genres also. Then it be go for the entire EEC countires also probably

I can understand it's good with dealing in underage shit same as the US law. However what is the specifics? I have TGP/Blog servers there and no way can I get 2257 records for sponsor content.

So what's the deal? Can we link to the sponsor pages or what? btw why is it when the US does it, it's evil dictator shit but if the Dutch do it, it's cool?

Any links in English?

for the government this would be the first step (around other flaws in the law) to chase the P2P & tubes I guess from a different angle since they could not bypass the law of privacy that internet providers, upload sites and hosting companies could use to "pass it off as customer privacy"

Any program owner that lost age docs deserves to be put out of business. I don't care if they had a 2257 law in their country or not. That stuff needs to be locked up and treated like gold. :2 cents:

So will you be giving Docs out to affiliates?

should be here in a few hours or a day:

or

(translated news sites always one day behind..)

I highly doubt that, why do you think dutch hosting became so popular when US made the same law :2 cents:
I know we run all our things as required by laws and regulators (within telecommunication) but I also do know there is a ton of people that do not ahve their shit together.
It will hit primary people that is struggling to survive in the biz, although they may still take it serious.
Without knowing the context of the law I cant comment if it is good or bad, personally for myself I dont care as I have nothing to worry about :)
It might open the door to buy some cheap dutch programs :winkwink:

It's good to see other parts of the world trying to show some responsibility for content, just hope they dont try to over step like the US does

I am still waiting for a link to the actual law.

The law hasn't been passed yet or anything, it's just the launch of an idea...

it will primary hit people who have amat content blogs, forums etc with questionable content imho

as the exact text of the law will be announced Ill have our lawyer run through it and see what we have and dont have to do, this is regarding to disclosing docs

and yes I think too that this is a step to EU wide regulation and a good one

no its not

its a " motie" which has been approved by a majority, the law will be there

http://www.tweedekamer.nl/images/27-...118-160347.pdf

28684 motie Gerkens/Arib - A

Ill try to get the motie text

Most Americans are not aware that there is an Internet located outside the US... They have no idea that your Google shows different results than our Google.

So banners, ads etc. also needs docs?

Nope just producers only, people with tgps etc are safe

Why would you think that? I get so sick of this " it's cool to rag on Americans" crap that goes on in this forum. It's pretty damn funny that so many of you that don't live in the US get so worked up over everything the US does.

Ive received the motie (law proposal), the goverment has to prepare a law before July 1st with a proper specification what needs to be filed and disclosed etc

Ill put the PDF online in a bit

So the government will set up the following soon;
-2257
-chase gambling on the net (and sue dutch people doing it or linking to)
-chase movies on internet they would like not to see (like the fitna movie)
-online survaillances by police (big brother is watching you)
-personal and financial details of surfers stored...(big brother stores all your shit)
-attack cybercrimes (this I can understand)

Those that can't or don't comply go. A lot of them will be people loading the Internet with free porn, often stolen. Not a single surfer is lost. Ye I understand about people moving, but if more countries followed this law it would be great.

The one problem that screws most of us is the ease of putting up porn.

You have no idea how many lose the documents, or delete them more like it. I get a request a week for replacements. Got one today. ;)

you can always move to Bora Bora :)

Goeie zaak.

Clean out the bad shit, and clean up the market
Now next step it to clean out this anim*lporn, that makes me sick also

what about online communities?

like our escort-directory?

bump for news.

Quit acting like you care. You look like a newsgroup creepster

Them Dutch are sneeky

If you take this business serious in any way shape or form you have 2257 and model releases. It's not really about the age of the model, but ownership of the content.

I have nothing against this, we have the documents for all content that we have, but what about an affiliate that uses sponsor content on his site? Does he need documentation as well or can he just say, I got this from sponsor X, so go there if you want the release/ID?
