As we've explained, 2257 was a piece of law that was added to the Adam Walsh Child Obscenity Act of 1988. Ostensibly "for the children", it put a good number of law abiding porn businesses out of business, did nothing to protect any children, and made it seem as though anything could be "sexually explicit conduct". Let's just hope that if push comes to shove after this and it's taken up on review, our *cough* open-minded Supreme Court jutsices care more about the First Amendment than using strongarm tactics to intimidate law-abiding porn makers—and that someone reminds them that last time we checked, it's still legal to make porn here in the good old US of A.

According to the FSC, the amended regulation proposals reflect some of their legal bulldogging efforts but still fall short of anything within reasonable expectations for working pornographers. "Some of the ... points are troubling and represent the intransigence which we have come to expect from Attorney General Gonzales and his associates," the organization says.

Intransigent is a good way to describe the attitude of a government that in the name of "protecting children" (2257 is code-speak for the 1988 Child Protection And Obscenity Enforcement Act) assumes that all depictions of sexuality are child porn unless proven not to be.

Among the disturbing "clarifications" in the proposal are directives regarding the genitals and the "lascivious" focus thereon as well as the notion that it might still be lascivious if the genitals have a protective covering of clothes.

Most troubling to bloggers or individuals or entities who reproduce the work of pornographers (workers at Fotomat are excluded) is the fact that they would also be lumped in with the original producers.

Therefore the term "secondary" producer has been jettisoned. So both the director of and the website editor who replicated images from "Dirtpipe Milkshakes" are in the same boat, legally.

The Federales turned up this morning at Filmco Productions, a Sun Valley specialty production house, checking 2257 records. ""It turns out that the older women Filmco shoots are really older women," the company's general manager told adult trade magazine AVN. Along with sniffing out obscenity, a charge that bedevils people like Max Hardcore, Feds look for evidence of companies using underage performers. The current (and contested) state of 2257 legislation (we're paraphrasing) says that even a MILF is underage unless proven otherwise. That is why porn companies must keep scrupulous records in addition to not releasing Kim Kardashian videos.

All ended well; the FBI agents asked for a restaurant recommendation (from Sun Valley, try driving about 15 miles away) and left. - GP

Wicked Pictures—which despite how it sounds is one of porn's most mainstream companies—was visited by the FBI yesterday in a 2257 recordkeeping investigation. Wicked is the highest profile company to be checked out by the FBI in this most recent sweep of investigations, which has also seen the FBI descend on harder edge gonzo companies like Anabolic and Evasive Angles.

As per 2257 regulations, porn companies are required to keep records of performers' real names and ages, ensuring that only once a perfomer turns 18 can he or she become officially sexually attractive.

And in other news, anti-porn Senator Sam Brownback is running for President. - GP

I know what you're thinking: Is this some fabulous new disease I can get?

But the Pussy Splotch (or the Hootchie Blurb) is the far-from-industry-standard term for the obfuscating element applied to images of your favorite porn stars' privates, allowing your rigid moral code to be uncompromised and your sense of wonder to remain intact.

I talked with one of the porn world's top Splotch applicators, Jodi Marie. Her interview follows the gap. - GP

- - -

Jodi Marie blurbed hootchies for Seymore Butts before getting a fat pussy splotching gig at Hustler. I called her when I saw her work on "Larrry Flynt's Private Collection 2" featuring Sunrise Adams.

"Those shapes look like the orbs spirit photographers capture when filming haunted houses," I said. "Do you always try to invest your boxcovers with a sense of the supernatural?"

"It depends on my mood, I guess," said Marie. "It depends on the feel of the cover picture and title, but I like asymmetrical shapes, something that contrasts the thing I'm covering."

"Yes, yes," I nodded vigorously on the phone. "Thus no triangles."

Marie noted with dismay the standard-issue starburst pussy splotch. "My personal choices get poo-pooed for some reason, " she said, "so people often resort to the overused starburst."

"If you had your druthers, what would you use to cover your genitals on boxcovers and/or in real life?" I asked.

"A mini funnel cake," she said.

"I'll be right over."

Looking to jump on that altporn bandwagon without having to go through all the trouble of trawling goth clubs for models, dealing with pesky paperwork, or earning the respect of your colleagues? Thanks to a dodgy looking web outfit that popped up this week, you can have thousands of photos of pierced and tattooed alternahotties—complete with all their 2257 compliance documentation, even!—for the low, low price of $500. The catch? They've all been published on SuicideGirls before, wherein lies the controversy that Altporn Gossip is reporting on this week. It isn't clear what sort of arrangement SuicideGirls has with ContentPinup.com (though the site's disclaimer claims there is "no affiliation"), or whether the models involved gave their permission to have their images and personal information resold (though really, who reads model releases anyway?); while we're waiting for our sources to come up with more dirt, you might as well peruse the gallery of sample images on the Content Pinup site. Maybe sometimes the best things in life really are still free.

While one of life s simple pleasures is the sending of confidential material over the internet, the thorny issue of maintaining 2257 documentation—the slew of material a porn actor must provide to show he or she is of legal age, in addition to a valid address and a legal name—is ripe for abuse. And guess what? Someone's abusing it as you're reading this. Details after the jump.- G. Ponante

* * * * *

A man purporting to be the 2257 documentarian of an east coast porn company—that is, the guy responsible for getting the real names and addresses of models to prove they are not underage (even when the shoot might be a MILF/gerontophile title)—says he "has plans" for the shitload of names, addresses, and pictures of porn stars his company has on file.

The man calls himself "Atomic Punk" and has already published several pictures of people he says he has the goods on, reveling in the fact that he gets paid for this kind of access. (Sources at adult webmaster board GFY says he's an assistant to the lawyer of Pleasure Productions, for whatever that's worth.)

As you well know, the adult business has a proud tradition of shooting itself in the foot (in much the same way my neighbor this year shot himself in the foot with a nail gun, except less funny) and those wishing ill on the porn industry would be doubly pleased if such a Paris Hilton-level breach of privacy from within resulted in a chilling of people wanting to get in the industry, fearing disclosure of something more valuable than, say, an anal cherry. Maybe Alberto Gonzalez isn't the real enemy after all.

Bad news from the front lines of the War on Pornography, at least where our side is concerned: after a nine month trial in which New York-based fetish photographer Barbara Nitke and the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom attempted to challenge certain provisions of the 1996 Communications Decency Act, a federal appeals panel yesterday ruled against the plaintiffs and "refused to find unconstitutional a law making it a crime to send obscenity over the Internet to children", according to the Associated Press (as if forcing her material onto children over the internet was part of Nitke's agenda in the first place). What effect the ruling will have on an adult online community still reeling from the US government's new 2257 regulations remains to be seen, but it's worth keeping in mind what lawyer John Wirenius wrote on his weblog following the decision: "The fightin' is in rounds. This is round 1."

Well, they're here: as of today, the US Department of Justice's new 2257 regulations go into effect, and we're pretty much confused as everyone else is about how they're ultimately going to effect your porn viewing experience. While we're busy for the next few hours combing through our image archive and replacing the necessary thumbnails with 150x100 pixel portraits of Hello Kitty (hey, she matches our color scheme)*, here are some reports from the trenches:

· First, the (possible) good news: Xbiz reports that a "deal has been brokered by lawyers for the Free Speech Coalition in U.S. District Court" . More details will be available this afternoon; keep an eye on the FSC website for updates. (xbiz.com - read more @ AVN)

Update Xbiz reports that the "deal" involves a pending agreement that would "put a temporary delay on enforcement of the rules"—which presumably means that they're still going to be enforced at some point unless more legal challenges are on the horizon. (xbiz.com; more @ AVN)

· Despite the fact that a poster on an Xbiz forum claims that he was told during a phone call with a DOJ representative that "linking sites" (you're soaking in one!) would also be subject to the new regulations because they "increase sales and revenues of the images on the site they were linking to", we're not ready to close up shop here at Fleshbot Central just yet. (Adult FYI)

· Seth Lubove at Forbes weighs in with an article that's both breathtakingly condescending towards the adult industry (actually, some people are going to miss publications and websites like "Bound And Gagged" very much) and critical of the DOJ's new draconian recordkeeping requirements. (forbes.com)

· In the meantime, some of the more curious early casualties of the new 2257 rules include "explicit thumbnails" at Sensible Erection, "adult profile" photos at Gay.com and other personals sites, DVD box cover images at WantedList and other online retailers, and several sites in the Rotten.com family—not that we visited Gaping Maw to get our porn fix too often anyway.

· If you're still confused why the new 2257 regulations are such a big deal for porn producers and audiences ... well, maybe reading an informative article with stick figure illustrations will help you understand? (freeinternetpress.com)

· And remember, if all else fails ... we'll always have Google. (images.google.com - thanks Rob)

*Ed. note: Actually, we've never had any explicit thumbnails on Fleshbot. At least something is making our jobs easier today.
 

While porn producers (and audiences) in the US have been gearing up for the new 2257 regulations that go into effect next week, fans of Japanese erotic art have an additional thing to worry about: a Tokyo court upheld a conviction yesterday against a publisher found guilty of distributing a comic title found to be obscene in what Japan Today calls "the first major case in some 20 years in Japan to focus on printed pornographic material". Better stock up on all those tentacle porn hentai while you still can, folks.

· "Japan Publisher nailed for Obscene Manga Comics" (3yen.com, via sexblo.gs)
· "Misshitsu [Honey Room]" (japan-manga.jp)

AVN's Mark Kernes makes a convincing argument that the US Department of Justice's new 2257 regulations are less about protecting children from pornographic exploitation than (surprise!) regulating porn businesses into logistical unfeasability, citing the law's ultimately unenforceable nature and evidence that the mainstream adult industry has already done a commendable job regulating itself in the past as far as utilizing underage performers is concerned: "Does it sound as if the 2257 statute can possibly accomplish the purpose for which it is allegedly intended?" We'll know after June 23 when the statute goes into effect whether it does or not.

The number 2257 might not mean much to you unless you already create porn for a living, but newly revised US Department of Justice rules regulating the ways adult content is distributed on the web (particularly the way "secondary producer" is defined) are going to effect all of us rank-and-file horndogs in some way sooner or later. Is this the beginning of the end of web smut as we know it, or are adult media watchdogs like AVN getting their panties in a bunch over nothing? We'll know more when the new statutes go into effect next month; in the meantime, any porn-friendly First Amendment lawyers out there willing to share their perspective on the ensuing brouhaha are welcome to contact us. (Or at least bake us a cake with a file in it when we're imprisoned for ten years for publishing a 150x100 pixel thumbnail image of naked boobies without the proper documentation.)
