Re: Internet

You asked about posting a video of you and your girlfriend engaged in intimate relations on the Web.

You will need to comply with various laws, such as a federal law requiring certain records be kept and a statement regarding those records.But for many, many many, many, many reasons, you should not do it. Once something is posted to the Web, it is there forever. You will never again have any control over it and it could come back to bite you later.

For example, there is currently in development a tool that can search for persons using facial recognition. Think how well developed the technology will be in 10 or 15 years, a future employer or your kids do a search for images and blammo, there's dad or mom en flagrante.

In my opinion, unless you're really doing something that needs to be shared with the world, then keep it private.

Roger
