"What Is USC 2257? It is the new law that states that every producer and secondary producer that puts out anything with "adult" content must have complete records on all their models that date back all the way to 1995! More than that, they have to be kept in a specific order, cross-indexed a specific way, and have very specific information. And deviation, even something as minor as a type-o in a models stage name can mean prison time! No body is happy
Fact: You can go to Federal Prison if your records aren't PERFECT!!!
Fact: If you even place one record out of order, you can go to prison for 5 years!
Fact: Don't have all your records properly cross-indexed? You could face prison time!
Fact: You can be searched whenever they want, and they don't even have to warn you!
Fact: Do you have every exact location for all of your files? If not, you're in trouble
