I'm wondering about all different countries , not just the US . There's a DVD just been released by Blue One of France which contains all 5 New Wave Hookers features , and it got me to wondering : The cover star is Traci Lords so I'm guessing this is banned in America . What other countries is it beyond the pale ?

So , what is the minimum age for model release in any countries you know about ?

I think Blue One released a DVD with three other Traci Lords flicks that definitely included material considered underage by US standards.

However, I very much doubt that you're going to see any "legit" porn studios releasing material with performers under 18 these days, no matter where. That said, I would definitely be interested to get a definitive answer on the subject from people in the biz in Europe.

I know certain posters on RAME used to assert that you could shoot 16-year-olds with parental permission in the UK, but while I had no hard evidence (NPI) I always thought that was nonsense. Mayfair magazine used to run a column on issues from 10/20 years ago etc and they had to censor pictures featuring girls who were underage when shot, so clearly there were loopholes that no longer apply.

Anyway, after all that prevaricating the short answer is I don't know but would be interested to get the facts!

I think this was true until May this year when it changed to 18.

Since you have to be at least 18 years of age in the civilized world to become a porn actor/actress, I would say you may make it to PornStar stardom at arond 20, if you are really good.

Regarding the other topic, I believe the answer is much easier to find: Local authorities of European countries never realized that Mme. Traci Lords was way underage in most of her porn flicks. If the authorities would know, I am quite sure none of the old videos would be available, nor would any company dare to re-release any of these as DVD.

You know, over here in Germany all the old videos from Beate Uhse are still available, including all those Traci Lords flicks, like the one someone else mentioned a couple of postings earlier.
Knowing that German authorities do not tolerate any kind of underage porn in any way, IMHO this can only mean that authorities were not officially informed about this topic. Or, to name it the other way round: If nowadays German authorities would get official information about an underage thing regarding Mme. Lords, it would only be a matter of days before all these tapes would disappear from the stores.

Okay, so was this an act of Parliament? Which laws actually deal with this? I should note that the issues of Mayfair I referred to were not recent, they were at least a couple of years ago, and they noted their legal advice at the time was that although it was okay when those old mags were first published, it's no longer permissible.

(Previously the BBFC said that although Traci Lords tapes would be legal, they wouldn't give them a certificate)

It was part of the "Sexual Offences Act" that came into effect in May 2004. The age for the definition of child porn was raised to 18. The idea was make extra sure that under 16s were protected. So the problem is, there are films (normal, BBFC) with under 18's in plus page 3 photos all out there. I have also noticed that newspapers still publish these old page 3 pics and even new pics of 16 and 17 year olds on the beach. Either they don't know about the law or are just ignoring it.
Some circumstances would be ok appearently- if the pics were of your wife for instance.

If it is illegal for you to buy pornography with models under the age of 18, then everything except "Traci I Love You" and compilations made from that movie are illegal.

A number of the movies with Traci Lords have been re-edited to remove her performances and re-released (example: New Wave Hookers 1).
