[...] Susannah Breslin discusses a claim by Adult Video News that Perez Hilton may have violated U.S. child porn laws by posting an explicit video of Chelsea Handler sidekick Chuy Bravo. According to AVN.com [NSFW], the online home of Adult Video News, the adult movie industry’s trade publication, Hilton’s March 15 post, “Chuy Is an Official Porn Star!” [NSFW], does not follow 18 U.S.C. § 2257 guidelines. The code requires websites that post explicit sexual content to comply to various regulations and rules, including a link to a “2257 compliance statement containing the name and address of the custodian of records, who is required to keep records relating to the age and identity of the performers in the content, as well as other information,” writes AVN.com’s Tom Hymes.

I got burned by Perez Hilton last June using my mobile phone to check his website in an airport.

The weird thing was that my laptop computer had the required warning but my iPhone didn’t. I deleted Perez from my bookmarks on my iPhone because sometimes I hand it to my kid to keep her occupied in airports.

I saw that clip on his site, and there’s no question Perez posted explicit material (albeit with a warning and a page jump). There’s also not much doubt that he isn’t afraid to cross the line when he thinks it’ll get him a lot of views; witness the infamous lawsuit history of the site.

That said, I also don’t think there’s any doubt that the performers were all of legal age, and that’s what people will care about. He might be fined, but he’ll probably just be ordered to take it down.

What’s stupid is, he’s got access to the technology to render that video SFW, and he just plain didn’t bother taking the time to do it. It’s not THAT big a story to risk your site over!
