This doesn't make sense. If the performers don't raise objections within four months, the film can be released, but if they raise objections within the first two years, it cannot be released?
What if the film is released after five months and then a performer objects during the 8th month? The film is pulled from sale?
I think somebody is misinterpreting the law because that would not really be workable.
Okay, here is a bit more of an explanation. The two years is only for the first two years after passing the law, as a transition period. But there still will be a one year time frame to halt distribution, according to this article.

It seems to be enacted to protect women "forced" into performing by circumstances as well as through undue pressure.
I have a lot of opinions on the subject of how performers are treated, having known several performers quite well in my younger days, and still maintaining friendships with many of them after they left that business (and other sex work as well).
Most of my opinions run counter to my consumption. But they are still going to make the videos even if I don't buy them
