She said, "Oh...my....God." And she joined the VeRO program to stop what were, at the time, obvious under-age porn images. Today? Well, Tara evidently has new management that doesn't care, or her manager isn't searching diligently.
The fact is, Federal Law requires proof that the pornographic image is of someone of legal age AND CONSENT. Traci Lords, who looked legal, wasn't. That's why all her early porn films are banned form sale.
EBAY sellers should comply with Federal Law, just as pornographers who sell photos or downloads, DVDs or magazines do. They all state they have signed model releases. EBAY sellers who grind photos through a printer, should comply with Federal Law: Title 18, Sections 2257 and 2257A.
The seller of this current LIPINSKI and GOMEZ images calls what he's done a "parody." As if that's legal. It isn't. "Parody" might apply if the image was in Hustler as part of some misogynistic editorial. But here, it's being manufactured as a PRODUCT and that requires LICENSING.
