Ron Jeremy, Jenna Jameson - get ready to stand and be counted.
The Department of Justice wants to come up with an official list of every porn star in America - and slap stiff penalties on producers who don't cooperate.
The new rules, proposed under the Adam Walsh Child Safety and Protection Act, would require blue-movie makers to keep photos, stage names, professional names, maiden names, aliases, nicknames and ages on file for the inspection of the department's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section.
"The identity of every performer is critical to determining and ensuring that no performer is a minor," according to the new proposal.
The adult film industry plans to challenge the new rule as a violation of the First Amendment, said Paul Cambria, a lawyer for Hustler and other adult film companies.
He sees it as a way to harass legitimate stag-film producers.
"If they can't get you for obscenity, they'll get you for violating record-keeping," he said. Such a violation would carry a five-year penalty.
The proposed rule would require porn producers to give the title of the video or magazine, or the Web address where the actor appears.
The Department of Justice has shown some sensitivity for the performers' privacy, however. All information not essential to proving their age and identity, like phone numbers and addresses, can be withheld.
Distributors of foreign pornography aren't off the hook - they must still produce a copy of the foreign actor's identification card. The department estimates that there are 500,000 Web sites, 200 DVD producers and 5,000 businesses nationwide that would be subject to the new rule.

Bet they'd like that.
No wonder Jenna is a Hillary fan.
Ron Jeremy was on Fox News resently with a minister that he is traveling around with where the minister and him discuss the good/bad effects of porn.
I’m so glad the DOJ doesn’t have anything better to be concerned with...
So jobs are getting offshored, the borders are porous, Iraq’s a mess, the stock market’s tanking, and the Feds think the number one threat to America is Jenna Jameson’s boobs. :-\
lol!
Why are they slapping penalties on people instead of spanking them on.....just asking...
Jenna looks ill.

They’re only endangering those women to more stalking and harassment.
break everyone apart and put into little groups and then put the groups against each other. This is wrong.
Jesse Jane looks pretty good.
Sure wish the feds would dedicate this much effort to finding and deporting illegals.
Project “Little Black Book”.
