2. §2257 is a US Law and it stops at US borders. Our company is Dutch we only recognize Dutch Laws and EU Parliamentary directives. U.S.C. 18 §2257 is in contradiction to The European Union Directive on Data Protection that is our law -- we can only provide information by a Dutch Court's order to do otherwise is unlawful in our domicile. That doesn't mean we don't have proper identification documents and model releases -- it means that they are confidential unless subject to release by the Dutch Court's order.

Then maybe a law that says if you want to do business with the US, comply to US laws or don't tap into our markets. Of course this would apply to US people tapping into Dutch markets. If people can tell me there's a girl in the next village waiting to talk to me and advertise inn Czech. Sites can obey the laws of the countries they appear in, or not appear there.

Few of the "tube" type sites are located in the USA and if their servers are they only have to look to the recent events in the megaupload.com matter to get the big picture. §2257 will have little affect on tube sites.

3. In the litigation of COPA it was found that there was no reliable way to restrict explicit adult content on the Internet to "adults only." Short of issuing everyone an Internet verifiable national ID card, with even that being ineffective as international commerce would be restricted, there is no way that access to adult pornography in the USA can be restricted constitutionally.

See above.

Good luck on anyone in porn coming up with anything new.

Generally speaking, minors don't purchase porn anyway.

The purchasing isn't the problem, it's the access to it. Is there already a US law for allowing access to porn by children in a porn shop?
