According to Slashdot, and the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, the proposed record-keeping requirements of Title 18 - Section 2257 have been struck down. What effect does that put on Fchan's Rule #5 against live photos or photomorphs? There's now no legal requirement for Rule #5.

1. if they allow photos of naked furries *shivers* and camwhoring it needs its own section.

2. Anyone who can't see the flood of drama soon to follow if they allow this, is blind and vastly insane.

3. All it takes is one underage fuck to start posting his stuff {and things turning back around a the admins) to put Fchan to its needs.

4. I still think its to much of a risk... and this is a chan art board, not a camwhorefest. get back to 4chan for that crap.

PLEASE READ, BECAUSE OBVOISLY OP DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.

"A lot of people are posting with obvious confusion about what was actually struck down.

Title 18 USC 2257 has absolutely nothing to do with verifying the age of a web site's surfers. It imposes record keeping requirements on the web sites. Requiring them to keep and make available records of every performer's age and identity etc.

The law has always been controversial in the adult industry due to privacy concerns it raises for the performers and for the web site operators (you may notice on many porn sites at the very bottom they'll have a link called "legal" or "18 USC 2257" which links to a name and address where the records can be obtained ... problem is the law is completely undiscriminating and many amateurs who run their sites from their homes are forced to publish their full names and address etc. for legal purposes. Not to mention that many feel that such documents regarding their performers identity should be kept confidential and only be obtainable via court order).

The full text of the law can be found at here [cornell.edu]

In other words it's not about verifying surfers age. It's about verifying performers."

I'm always skeptical of this sort of claim, but I'll entertain it, anyway.

Live photos of people would rarely have any furry content in them and therefore wouldn't be allowed. If it did have some kind of furry content in it (fursuit, plushie, etc.), and was pornographic, there's still no way to know the age of the person. I don't feel like opening the door to the possibility of under aged people posting things of that nature. It's bad for them, and it's bad for everyone else, whether there's a record keeping law or not.

Same thing goes for photomorphs. There's no way to tell the age of the person who was photoshopped, not to mention that these can be taken randomly off the internet and manipulated without the person's consent. That's not too different from taking someone's art and editing it. It's rather disrespectful toward the subject.

There's just too many reason NOT to allow this stuff, whether or not there's a law about keeping any kind of records. I really don't want to open up that door, nor do I want to deal with it. The staff and I have enough to take care of with the site as it is, we don't need more things to worry about.

Sorry.

>>1 I'm curious why the OP cares so damn much myself. Xeno touched on this about a month ago and his reply was the same as Boss R's, IE - No.
