FEDS' PORN ULTIMATUM

August 19, 2007 -- Ron Jeremy, Jenna Jameson - get ready to stand
and be counted.
The Department of Justice wants to come up with an official list of
every porn star in America - and slap stiff penalties on producers
who don't cooperate.
The new rules, proposed under the Adam Walsh Child Safety and
Protection Act, would require blue-movie makers to keep photos,
stage names, professional names, maiden names, aliases, nicknames
and ages on file for the inspection of the department's Child
Exploitation and Obscenity Section.
"The identity of every performer is critical to determining and
ensuring that no performer is a minor," according to the new proposal.
The adult film industry plans to challenge the new rule as a
violation of the First Amendment, said Paul Cambria, a lawyer for
Hustler and other adult film companies.
He sees it as a way to harass legitimate stag-film producers.
"If they can't get you for obscenity, they'll get you for violating
record-keeping," he said. Such a violation would carry a five-year
penalty.
The proposed rule would require porn producers to give the title of
the video or magazine, or the Web address where the actor appears.
The Department of Justice has shown some sensitivity for the
performers' privacy, however. All information not essential to
proving their age and identity, like phone numbers and addresses,
can be withheld.
Distributors of foreign pornography aren't off the hook - they must
still produce a copy of the foreign actor's identification card.
The department estimates that there are 500,000 Web sites, 200 DVD
producers and 5,000 businesses nationwide that would be subject to
the new rule.
The department did not respond to requests for comment, but in its
proposal suggested that the benefits outweighed any negative impact
on the porn industry.
"The benefit of the rule is that children will be better protected
from exploitation in the production of visual depictions of
sexually explicit conduct by ensuring that only those who are at
least 18 years of age perform in such depictions. The costs to the
industry include slightly higher record-keeping costs," the agency
argued.
