The UK/Europe does not require/have 2257 docs like the U.S. does. If they did require something/anything like a 2257 doc, then "barely legal" content would be 100% legal, no questions, no problems.

I've been in "the industry" for almost a decade (NOT an actor/performer), and for us in the U.S. the 2257 is a VERY big deal. If we don't have a 2257 or if it's incomplete, we quarantine the material until the 2257 is fixed/complete.

This article is just fear mongering. Keeping p0rn in the shadows only makes it more evil and promotes more human trafficking.
