A user reported a bigfunhouse.com torrent. cumeaternc and I researched it and found that the site was shutdown for producing underage content, and arrests were made. They have a new site now. Should we trust them, even with their compliance statement? I'd say certainly not, consider them banned here.
gayteenstudio (GTS) was reported and brought to our attention in a thread. I checked them out and found that they too were shutdown and arrested on the same charges. I deleted all of those torrents.
They majority of sites which harbor child porn are shutdown within a year. Sites that stay afloat for years on end are generally safe, but IMO that doesn't mean we should trust their history, claims, or compliance statements.
@teenboyreview:
The Models - Everyone ages at different rates, so some models who are 18 or 19 years old can easily look anywhere between 3 years younger or older depending on genetics or diet. Typically models from Eastern Europe, Russia or Asia tend to look much younger due to both reasons with diet being the larger factor. However if a given site has models that simply look TOO young as in barely out of puberty, then you may want to avoid these types of sites even if they have compliance statements posted. The younger the models look, the harder it will be to justify to the authorities that you were not actively seeking underage content. Ultimately, if you are not comfortable with models that tend to look much younger than their age, then avoid such sites. Teen Boy Review lists sites who models range in age from 18-20 years (and 21-23 years where such content is no more than 20% of the sites total offerings), with a wide variety of types from those who look like they just had their 18th birthday to more defined college age twinks.
I have changed my mind a bit on this matter after doing some more thinking and reading. Researching questionable content for compliance statements, their history, etc is a waste of time. A given site/studio may decide to comply with 18 USC 2257 fully, or occasionally not. No one can be 100% certain of their compliance, and even they can't because they may have been fooled by a fake ID. Compliance statements don't mean much and are easy to put in place. How often do sites/studios get inspected? Consider the fact that they may not get inspected immediately after producing illegal content. The actual proof of the models ages can be found after the producers of the content have been busted, compliance statements don't mean shit, and finding out then is too late.
(d) Frequency of inspections. Records may be inspected once during any four-month period, unless there is a reasonable suspicion to believe that a violation of this part has occurred, in which case an additional inspection or inspections may be conducted before the four-month period has expired.
They may be inspected once during a four-month period, or not. Meanwhile, their content can be ripped, upped here, and proven to be illegal at a potentially much later time. So why waste time if our eyes are telling us the models look questionable? Think about how long bigfunhouse.com torrents were here before we found that they had produced illegal content in the past, and think about gayteenstudio (GTS) which started this discussion. I don't even want to mention or think about how long those torrents were here, it's quite embarrassing to me…
One comment concerning the four-month interval for inspections states that although some large entities or a custodian arrangement may warrant inspections as often as every four months, the many small production operations with small numbers and static images do not. It claims that inspections of such entities that occurred with such frequency would simply mean that inspectors would review the same images, which it contends is an invitation to harassment. The Department responds to this comment by noting that while inspections may take place as often as every four months, they are not required to occur so frequently. Moreover, the regulation requires that inspections ``be conducted so as not to unreasonably disrupt the operations of the establishment.''

A site may start out small and grow slowly, which may help them fly under the radar for some time. I mean if they've had some visits and the content basically remained the same long enough to put off inspectors for a while. That is if I am applying what I understand about compliance statements and investigators correctly, am I?
Sooo, I am all for making eyeballs #1, count me in with the eyeballin' crowd.
