    2257 solution for thumb tgp owners

    As a thumb tgp owner you can do the following (at least I think so)

    1) Blur your thumbs enough that they are not depicting sexual material.
    2) Use a photoshop filter to render your thumbs black and white and make them mosaic/cartoon like... that would then turn that thumb into a piece of art and you have freedom of artistic expression.

    Any thoughts?

          Not sure if that would suffice. However, I have noticed some thumb tgp's starting to do this with young "looking" thumb previews.

              This is not a viable answer as the photo still depicts a sexual act.

                      That was not an option before the changes to the law.

                      It's decided by what the original image contained not an edited one.

                          It already says that you can't block out part of the the image in an atempt to not need the 2257 docs. You will still need them.

                              If you like being anally raped in prison follow this guys advise.

                              blurring or blacking out sexual content does NOT give you an exemption from 2257. hey try just using TEXT LINKS. And save yourself a whole lot of trouble.

                                          Is that a good idea?

                                              How can you prove the original picture if I have modified it enough to not make it recognizable.

                                              Or if I photoshop it enough that it looks like a drawing? If this is not allowed then art depicting any sexually explicit content will not be allowed. So I guess judges will require 2257 to display pictures of old masterpieces...

                                                  So I can crop a thumb from a softcore picture and link to a hardcore gallery?

                                                      Wy would you do that? Isn't the purpose of a thumb is to show what the bigger pic looks like?

                                                          From what I've been reading, that won't work either.

                                                              that are imported into the United States. In order to sell in the U.S.
                                                              market, foreign producers must comply with U.S. laws. This rule applies
                                                              equally to any sexually explicit material introduced into the stream of

                                                              producers have the option of not complying with the rule, but then
                                                              their access to the U.S. market is justly and lawfully prohibited.

                                                                                                              1) Blur your thumbs enough that they are not depicting sexual material.
                                                                                                              2) Use a photoshop filter to render your thumbs black and white and make them mosaic/cartoon like... that would then turn that thumb into a piece of art and you have freedom of artistic expression.

                                                                                                              Any thoughts?

If this is not allowed then art depicting any sexually explicit content will not be allowed. So I guess judges will require 2257 to display pictures of old masterpieces...
