I am writing regarding the proposed change to ? 75.8 Location of the statement. * * * * * (d) A computer site or service or Web address containing a digitally- or computer-manipulated image, digital image, or picture, shall contain the required statement on every page of a Web site on which a visual depiction of an actual human being engaged in actual sexually explicit conduct appears. * * * * * For home-based businesses, this would require the name of the custodian of records and the home address in 12-point type on every web page with covered sexually-explicit content. This is an excessive amount of exposure of names and home addresses which could lead to harassment by public web page users who just happen to notice the name and address in the statement. I'd rather see the regulation allow a 2257 link on every web page with covered sexually-explicit content. This will limit the exposure of name and home addresses to those seriously looking for the records information. 2257 (e) (1) allows you to do this: Any person to whom subsection (a) applies shall cause to be affixed to every copy of any matter described in paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of this section, in such manner and in such form as the Attorney General shall by regulations prescribe, a statement describing where the records required by this section with respect to all performers depicted in that copy of the matter may be located. In this paragraph, the term ?copy? includes every page of a website on which matter described in subsection (a) appears. Having a link on the web page is affixing it to the copy of the web page. I propose that you change the rule to: ? 75.8 Location of the statement. * * * * * (d) A computer site or service or Web address containing a digitally- or computer-manipulated image, digital image, or picture, shall contain the required statement or a clickable hypertext link ?18 U.S.C. 2257 Record-Keeping Requirements Compliance Statement? to the statement on every page of a Web site on which a visual depiction of an actual human being engaged in actual sexually explicit conduct appears. Thanks for your consideration.
