[Foundation-l] Legal requirements for sexual content -- help, please!

Thu May 20 22:55:14 UTC 2010

What I'm advocating for now is voluntary compliance, for the following  
reasons (and nobody has tried to address #3 yet):
It's a proven system of record keeping that verifies information like  
names of subjects, stage names, date of birth, name of photographer,  
consent (implied by completing affidavit), and the date the photos  
were taken.
The legal responsibility for the accuracy and content of 2257 records  
remains with the record holder, and personal identifying information  
of the subjects of the photos (and the legal responsibility) remain  
off-wiki.
It fulfills the licensing requirements of Creative Commons, saying  
that our images must be made available for commercial use, however  
currently our pornographic images CAN NOT be reused legally in the US  
for commercial purposes because they lack USC 2257. This falls way  
short of our "free content" ideals (as well as Commons:Licensing).
All primary producers (photographers) and secondary producers  
(uploaders) of pornographic images in the US must keep records, even  
if the images were uploaded to Commons by using a pseudo-anonymous  
username. For this reason, sexual content transferred from Flickr  
without 2257 information should not be accepted.
