From: Pancho Dog
Date: June 22 2005

It took us a while, but after careful review and extensive legal advice with three of the top adult entertainment law firms, (who are extremely familiar with 18 U.S.C. § 2257 in their capacities as First Amendment and Criminal defense practitioners) we have come to the following determination, summarized by Jeffrey Douglas, one of our attorneys:

"...Despite General Gonzalez’ efforts at reviving the concept of “secondary producers” in the most recent version of regulations in support of 18 U.S.C. § 2257, the concept is not supported by the statute itself. The only case addressing the issue, Sundance Assocs. Inc. v. Reno, 139 F.3d 804, 807 (10th Cir.1998), held that the “secondary producer” requirements of the regulations to be unconstitutional. We rely on that holding, and further decline to violate the privacy of the performing artists by disseminating private data when not required to do so by law...".
