Seems this new US law applies to hentai works and or games.
Okay which of you guys made my geekfest so BLOODY unpleasant now as this will now possibly be one of the LAST where I can enjoy my hentai and fetish openly as h.r. 4472 readjusted into the Senate as S.AMDT.4686 got passed last night and is on the way to Bush for a DEFINITE formal signage next Tuesday?
damn. I hope the Transformer movie preview cheers me up as it is supposed to be lamer than Bush’s swagger. But the thing now is that THAT is the qwality I can look forward to if this stank if NOT overturned in the courts.
Oh wait I forgot some knucklehead want to get rid of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ability to hear adult cases… Damn where is the FCS and ACLU on this matter? And where is the grass roots from Wicked, Heatwave, Vivid, Huslter, Penthouse et al. AND the MPAA who have just had their legs cut from under them again.
Seems people still do NOT understand that “sticking the head in the sand only provides a NICE BIG target on the parts that still stick up out of the sand.”
Here is the text of the approved 4472
SEC. 503. RECORD KEEPING REQUIREMENTS FOR SIMULATED SEXUAL CONDUCT.
(a) In General.–Chapter 110 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting after section 2257 the following:
"SEC. 2257A. RECORD KEEPING REQUIREMENTS FOR
SIMULATED SEXUAL CONDUCT.
"(a) Whoever produces any book, magazine, periodical, film, videotape, digital image, digitally- or computer-manipulated image of an actual human being, picture,
OR OTHER MATTER THAT–
"(1) contains 1 or more visual depictions of simulated sexually explicit conduct; and
Before ONLY the word “ACTUAL” was removed from the phrase “actual human bieng” thus LIMITING the need for producers who create sexual products that show off a definite “human looking creature” to have to reveal their identity and personal locale if they work out of their private hiomes and not a formal seperate art studio as does the sex film and photo producers.
It SEEMS that someone on Sen. Frist team who rewrote 4472 understood the concept of “furries” and “chibas” which does NOT show human looking creatures such as bears with four legs which are OBVIOUSLY not human though still showing sexual action with these characters. Thus the current restriction was changed from instead of merely removing the word “actual” and limiting the law to JUST human looking items, the new law will NOW require EVERYONE who produces ANY forms of sexual content to disclose their private information by adding the whole phrase of
“OR OTHER MATTER”
which is inclusive of ANYTHING that “contains 1 or more visial DEPICTIONS OF SIMULATED sexually explicit conduct” which hentai does.
So if artists thought they would not have to disclose their private id under the idea "Well that only applies to porn makers as they found out today that THEY are NOW included in that same category
And of the few people I talked to here, I can tell you they are NOT happy that they have to disclose their home addresses and private information for basically a part-time hobby simply because they draw a robot or alien creature that has a sexual organ because the idea is all sex regardless of whether real or fictional such as hentai “or other matter” is to be restricted rather than focusing on real child abusers.
But the fall elections mandate the sacrifical target and we are it.
Well you will excuse me I have to go brush my teeth and get ready to raid the halls again. May be I should shield my children’s eyes from all the figures of Jabba the Hut holding the slavegirl attired Princess Leia on the floor today as that is NOW illegal under this mess…
I hope this new law does not stop our friends here. Let’s hope and pray
