Remember statute 18 U.S.C. 2257 that would require anyone producing porn, amateur or otherwise, to keep a record of performers' proof of age? Didn't so much fly with the First Amendment. According to the court, this statute would "chill" free speech:
To appreciate why speech would be chilled, consider the following. A couple wishes to take photographs of themselves engaging in sexual activity. To do so means compiling records, affixing statements, maintaining such records for at least five years, and opening their property up for visitation by government officials to inspect the records. It seems unlikely the couple would choose to speak when faced with such requirements, which if violated means being guilty of a felony punishable by up to five years in prison plus fines.
Hear that, people? Take out those handycams and get your homemade porn on. We're shooting the sequel to Robocock tonight in our basement if anyone wants to come by and operate the boom.
