    Compliance with Adult Media Record-Keeping Laws

    One of the most dreaded numbers in the adult entertainment business is 2257. Compliance with federal record-keeping laws set forth by 18 U.S.C. § 2257 can be a daunting and intimidating task, with draconian penalties possible for failure to comply. Worse, compliance is not a simple matter since the laws are unnecessarily confusing, leaving most adult companies in the dark about whether these laws apply to their own business model and what responsibilities they may or may not have to keep records. Attorney Eric M. Bernstein has years of experience in the field of adult Internet law and dealing with 2257 specifically, and will instruct Cybernet Expo attendees on the basics of complying with federal record-keeping laws. Learn if these laws apply to you, and if they do what you need to do to protect your business in case of a records inspection.

    Online Billing: Beyond the IPSP

    Collecting money online is an indispensable part of running an adult Internet business. Most adult companies are already familiar with the major Internet Payment Service Providers (IPSPs) that are friendly to adult, but know very little about what other options are available for online billing.

What kind of solutions are available for VOD billing or for online product stores? Is it difficult to interface third party software like shopping carts and affiliate programs with emerging billing solutions? Our panel of experts will offer advice and wisdom about these topics and more as they discuss the lesser known options for online billing.

    State of the Industry

    The adult industry has been challenged by a rapidly changing world in recent years. Piracy of adult content is rampant, and business models that were the bread and butter of adult both online and off are not as effective as they once were. With Democrats in control of the federal government, concerns on the legal front are shifting from traditional topics like obscenity prosecutions and morality groups to new areas like taxation and potentially burdensome regulation.
