NL- There are so many informative articles on Fattorosi’s website, you should go there and read them for yourself. But here is one about couples webcamming and being in trouble for not using a condom. Just shows how ridiculous this proposed law is.

“Condoms in Porn” Law and Web Camming: Part 2 Arrest and Fines
by Michael Fattorosi
In Part 2 I will explain what potential criminal sanctions and fines a non-compliant couple may face if they do not secure a Department of Health permit and use barrier protection in their shows.
Many assume that being able to locate a couple camming in the privacy of their own home would be almost impossible for the police or the Department of Health who will be performing the compliance inspections. This is simply not true. Rather it is easier to enforce this law against a couple camming from home then a porn production company on location.
As part of the sign up process on most camsites a couple would have to provide an address. For argument’s sake let us assume that they provided their home address. Their stationary filming location could be discovered through the subpoena process. All that the Department of Health would have to do is to open a criminal investigation, have the City Attorney/District Attorney file charges against the couple using their “stage names” and have the City Attorney/District Attorney issue a subpoena to the cam site demanding all information pertaining to a their account. The cam site certainly cannot stand in the way of a legal subpoena from a law enforcement official nor would they.
Thus, with one simple subpoena the Department of Health can easily have a couple’s home address.
How likely is this scenario ? Quite likely actually. I represent several porn studios that have been inspected for film permits for shooting boy-girl web cam shows. Some of the locations of these studios are private residences. There would be little chance of law enforcement knowing of these locations unless they were able to secure the exact address. How they came to find out the exact location is still a mystery. Law enforcement did not tell any of them how they located them.
However, a Los Angeles police officer actually told one of my clients that they were familiar with his company’s web cam shows and actually watched them live on one particular cam site network. I suspect that they found this studio’s location through the subpoena process however I cannot state that with certainty.
If it is that easy to locate a couple the question then becomes would they enforce this against them directly. That is unknown. None the less it is important for couples that cam to be aware of this law and what potential penalties exist if they do enforce it against them. The law dictates that anyone that violates the provisions be subject to imprisonment for up to 6 months, a criminal fine of up to $1000.00 and a civil fine of up to $500.00;

Further, each additional show can be plead as a separate and distinct violation. So if a couple does six shows over the course of a month they can be prosecuted and fined on six separate charges and face significant jail time and monetary penalties.
The point of this article is not to scare but rather inform. And to hopefully make those that are not involved in the mainstream pornography business realize that the same laws that affect those businesses also affect even small independent amateur producers and even web cam performers (For example 18 U.S.C 2257). The “Condoms in Porn” law is just another law that will negatively impact free expression of sexuality. Please educate yourself and read Ballot Measure B.
People need to understand the totalitarian/fascist influence of big money politics. To say the AIDS empire is mega-huge is an understatement. Official stats attributing “AIDS” as a cause of death are tiny compared to other killers, yet AIDS research and fund drives receive more money than all diseases combined. This has created a punk-like gestapo that has used it’s levels of power to push laws and standards which are a clear and obscene violation of human rights. If you go to any hospital you can read a “Patients Rights” pamphlet which states that you have the right to choose or refuse any treatment or medicine you have issues with. Yet, in spite of this, parents have had their children and babies taken out of their custody if they refuse to force feed them deadly, agonizing drugs with skull and crossbones on their labels, such as AZT, which has been proven to cause infanticide and severe birth-defects. The likes of Weinstein are guilty of murder, torture and terror by perscription upon Americans, young to old, who are deprived of their human rights. The best way to win this war is to fight and expose the AIDS empire, by bringing attention to the fact that HIV tests don’t test for HIV, but markers believed to be indicative of HIV, but with so many known false positives that the test is completely unreliable. There is no gold standard in HIV testing and a so-called “confirmatory” test is just another guessing machine, as indicated by every and all HIV test disclaimers. Weinstein and associates are manipulating corrupted politicians and brainwashing the masses with its enormous wealth provided by the drug and AIDS bohemoths.
Behemoths, whoops
tl;dr Jeremy’s comment.
It seems to me that the the agencys which are being used to check for STD’s are rats in the wings and may be turning webcam perforners into government agencies to pay fines. It may be a mystery to Mike
Fattorosi that the location of the streaming is known although locations of the performers cell phones are known during the screening times. Performers , dare not anyone in such a cell phone crazed society be far away from their electronic leash. Once the performers are registered with the so called health agencies their cell phone numbers are known and their location can be traced by law enforcement agencies. The performers should get smart and leave their phones miles away from where they perform scenes. The whole health agency industry issue in the adult industry is in place by greedy business people who are vultures scavengering on the once flourishing Porn Valley. It is sad to see that in an International marketplace for voyuer products the American performers are being put at a dis-advantage by the combined efforts of law enforcement and so called health testing agencies. In other countries performers are left alone to make a living doing webcam shows. I believe it is refreshing to see countries in the world which lack the control machine we have growning out of control here in the USA.
I fail to see the need for a husband and wife to be forced to use a condom to film a webcam show from their home. Wifey only performed with her husband and now she would have to put a rubber on his dick?
Its just fucking stupid and its just a form of legal extortion for the cities/towns/counties to milk the serformers for fees, finesand revenue so these mopes have more money to embezzle.
What’s “tl;dr” mean, Walter?
Cindy, why all the promotion of Michale fattorosi. if i remember your information was going to be revealed by Donkey, which fattorosi has had a relationship.
in addition fattorosi mentions on his site performers on his site, that he has legally represented in cases. By california professional rules of responsibility he must ask them if it is ok for him to post. i hear from one performer he did not do this. In addition i hear the win record not too good.
Alsoby his own words the performers don’t havemoney to pay him, what will they do give BJ’s, this was posted in the e-mails that he used under his girlfriends e-mail
Possible translation:
Ability to pay = ability to lay.
Sliding scale fee = slide my cock for free to waves fees.
HI cindi:
Here are just some of the performers listed on Michael fattorosi’s new site to promote himself. These performers would like to keep their legal cases under the radar, but once again fattorosi is using the talent to move his career forward.
this comes straight from his site.

he needs a signed waiver from each client.
If i was talent or just a legal client i would want my name not being used to promote my attorney unless i gave approval which is mandatory.
I would like to get Michael whiteacres opinion along with MIKE SOUTH, AND YOUR CINDI SINCE YOU ARE PROTECTIVE OF TALENT.
Cindy:
some of the above talent should be upset. what is your opinion on matter. I believe there has been a complaint that has been filed against fattorosi for this. now fattorosi is seeling Hats on his site. He must be pretty hard up as an attorney. But if you recall the public e-mail exchange between fattorosi and Donkey, did not seem like he was making much income. He is not a known attorney, just a promoter on these sites. NL- My opinion is that just cuz Fattorosi exchanged emails with Donny Long, doesn’t mean he had anything to do with the porn wikileaks site & Fattorosi is doing a great job informing talent about the upcoming mandatory condom issue.
I don’t understand the question. Are you asserting that you know that these people/businesses 1) are his clients, AND 2) did not know their names are being referenced on his site?
A third or more of the names you listed are not talent, BTW.
Also, you say his “new site” — which site do you mean? A site other than adultbizlaw?
