One woman's struggle to remove all traces of videotaped sexual assault

The US' current ID and info collection requirements for sexual content exist on very thin and shaky constitutional grounds right now.

They've never had a criminal indictment, had very limited enforcement solely due to the predictable constitutional challenge, which occurred anyway.

Simply put, dragnets against all producers to create a criminal neither solves the problem, deters the problem, nor catches the actual criminal.

All you have now is an awkward duty to give anybody with a camera your drivers license or passport. Or did we ever actually think about the people that appear in the videos. And in this thread's suggestion: having them upload it to random websites. Fantastic.

Something tells me that the whole record-keeping system was introduced just to protect the studios from troubles. “See, we're legal, shut up and don't get in the way, we're doing business”.

And still, most people don't realize what “MET” in “MET-Art” stood for.

I mean that's also true, representatives left to their own devices would come up with something that completely breaks any sense of practicality while still failing to accomplish whatever cause they thought they were addressing.
