MET-Art hereby certifies that this website, and all graphic images associated therewith, is EXEMPT from both the recordkeeping and labeling requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 2257, because no images of "actual sexually explicit conduct" are contained within.

An additional general statement regarding the site, and his credentials drafted by Mr. Douglas:
I am criminal defense attorney emphasizing First Amendment defense. I am an expert witness on behalf of the Free Speech Coalition in its challenge to 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and have testified as an expert in Federal Court on 2257 in matters unrelated to a 2257 challenge. In addition, in my private practice, I have advised scores of clients on the application of 2257 to their businesses and developed compliance models. I am the Chair of the Board of the FSC, and along with Reed Lee (a distinguished Chicago First Amendment Attorney) manage the 2257 litigation legal team. Also, as long as I am credentialing myself, I am also the former President of the First Amendment Lawyers Association, currently, Chairman Emeritus. MET-Art is in full and complete compliance with 18 U.S.C. § 2257. That is, we maintain all records establishing that all models are 18 years old or older. However, because 18 U.S.C. § 2257 on its terms is limited to images containing actual sexually explicit conduct, and MET-Art does not depict actually sexually explicit conduct, MET-Art is exempt from any obligation under 2257. However, I emphasize that we do maintain proof adequate under 2257 that all models are eighteen years of age or older at the time of the recording of the images.
