JESSICA ALBA - BESTIALITY AND URINE POSES ON EBAY

EBAY does not patrol their site. That's one of the perks of having Internet laws in their favor.

All they are legally obligated to do is obey a "DMCA." They expect Jessica Alba to check the hidden "mature audiences" area, find the image, write it down, and send in a complaint saying, "These bestiality and urine images are not licensed..."

Two problems: not every star knows there IS an "adult" section of eBay. AND...when something is illegal under FEDERAL LAW, the website needs to comply. This is the law:  

Title 18, Sections 2257 and 2257A, all models, actors, actresses, performers and/or other persons who appear in any visual depiction or “sexually explicit conduct” (as that term is defined in 18 U.S.C. §2256

Calling the item "a parody" (as this seller does) does not absolve the seller from having a signed model release of consent. This is a PRODUCT and "parody" doesn't protect it from the law. EBAY needs to reform its rules on what they allow in their hidden "red light" area of the site.
