It's the section of USC 18 (I think it's #18 but I'm too lazy to check at the moment) that deals with record keeping requirements for adult movies. In essence, porn producers are required to maintain records proving all performers used in a porn production were over 18 years of age at the time. There's various hoops they have to jump through, but that's the essence of it.

You can use the search function to find a couple of threads with more info and speculation than you'd ever want to know. Just type 2257 in the Search For field.

2257 is censorship through bureaucracy. Bury them (us) in paperwork.
Well parts of it aren't bad. If records did not need to be kept, some pornographers would knowingly film underaged girls. But this has been expanded to pictures on websites, even if the picture is that of a known adult.

Sex with a minor is illegal, irregardless of 2257. Your statement suggests the theory espoused by many that if a deterrent doesn't work you need more deterrents. I've never found that to be very effective in real life. People who ignore one law will likely ignore the next as well.

Since this question was also asked in International DVD Shopping, and answered by GaySatyr with a link on where to start, I'm locking this.
