LOLICON BURNS TO ASHES IN CONGRESS
Tomorrow July 27 2006 President Bush will sign the new 2257-Related Bill called HR 4472, in simple terms this bill now includes all visual depictions of simulated sexually explicit conduct.
What does that mean for Animation and artists and websites?
1: Lolicon now is official Illegal in the USA and punishable same as real child porn.
2: All artists are required to provide their personal information for record keeping.
3: all websites have to comply with 2257 record keeping regulations.
There is a lot more legal detail to this but this is pretty much the basic of it, HR 4472 does cover no all forms of sexually explicit conduct including art animation, even a stick figure would be required to comply with this law.
so for now we are do NOT have an ETA on the return of the Free section as providing access to minors to sexually explicit conduct without the correct website labeling is also a breach of the new 2257 law.
I am pretty sure there will lots of post again of all the people that always know everything better when it comes down to what is law, just keep this in mind, yes you can sale drugs till you get caught, same here yes you can have a free site that does not comply with any of the 2257 regulations, you can even have lolicon, but guess when you get caught I hope you have a lot of cash for very very good legal counseling as these charges are 5 years per incident, 1 incident= 1 image.
and no it does not matter where the image is hosted! if oyu live in the us you are braking a us law.
As a corporation we will always try to comply as best as we can with any us law as we do Live in the usa and need to protect our and our families personal freedom before anything else, I hope you can understand our point of view on this issue, this is not a choice made but something that was forced on us.
Also if you think this is bad check this out, the us congress is about to take the internet away from you all:
