I also haven't seen any wording in the law that would hold sponsors responsible for the websites run by their affiliates.
Free content is a moot point considering any sponsor that would care to ban non-compliant affiliates would be providing documentation with each free content set.Comment

Nope the sponsors won't let you promote them...you're back to square one building your own sites, hosting them on non-us servers, using non-us processors.Originally posted by exportyourbiz-comFor rent - ICQ 127-027-910

THE US GOVERNMENT CANNOT INSPECT THE RECORDS OF FOREIGN WEBMASTERSOriginally posted by BusterPorn

You can see if their site even bothers to put up a 2257 link. It seems someone who wants to say "fuck you" to American law wouldn't even do that. If they don't even have that you know they don't have the record so you cancell their account.Originally posted by exportyourbiz-com
And as someone has said if Euros are going to be dicks about this just not allow them into your program. Fine by me, less comptetition. Especially if I have to compete at a disadvantage.Comment

If you don't comply with 2257 you are FORBIDDEN from trying to sell to Americans. If you continue to do so then you are violating trade law. Now can Interpol get involved with that?Originally posted by exportyourbiz-comComment

You are talking about all US based sponsors banning foreign webmasters from using their program when there is no precedent for a sponsor being responsible for the content of the affiliate websites promoting their program.Originally posted by eroswebmaster
Please be realistic.Comment

Man, Oh man! You just don't get it. The law may not say that the sponsor is responsible for you not having 2257 info on your foreign website but that doesn't mean that because you don't have it you have not piqued the interest of the DOJ into the sponsor's operation. Even though they are 100% in compliance do you think they want to sit through hour after hour of a DOJ investigation all because your ass was too lazy to fucking compile the info they sent to you so they did not have to go through this?Originally posted by exportyourbiz-com

If there are more like you, they may be willing to go that far and ban all non-us affiliates. You may push them to the point they have to decide between staying in business or making sure some guy who wants to be a pain in the ass continues to get a check.

The new regulations contain conspiracy language
Practically speaking what this means for non-U.S. webmasters is that if you want to continue doing business with sponsors who are in the U.S. you will have to comply with the new regulations if you use that sponsors content. If you don?t the U.S. government may not bother to come after you, but they can come after your sponsor for non-compliance if they supplied you the content.(2) A secondary producer is any person who produces, assembles,
manufactures, publishes, duplicates, reproduces, or reissues a book,
magazine, periodical, film, videotape, digitally- or computer-
manipulated image, picture, or other matter intended for commercial
distribution that contains a visual depiction of an actual human being
engaged in actual sexually explicit conduct, or who inserts on a
computer site or service a digital image of, or otherwise manages the sexually explicit content of a computer site or service that contains a visual depiction of an actual human being engaged in actual sexually explicit conduct, including any person who enters into a contract, agreement, or conspiracy to do any of the foregoing.Comment

If the sponsor is in compliance there will not be jail time but there will be the hassle of hour upon hour of the DOJ being on premise. Do you think a sponsor wants that? That would be a serious interuption to business. Lets say they want to take the computers with them so they can do further inspections. May happen, may not. When it comes down to it I cannot see a US sponsor not wanting all its affilates to be in compliance with 2257. The hassle of even one not being so is not worth it.Originally posted by holographComment

From the DOJ:
"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 commerce in the United States no matter where it was produced. Foreign producers have the option of not complying with the rule, but then their access to the U.S. market is justly and lawfully prohibited."Comment

I see you point, the hassle is too great to even allow any chances for it, it is understandable.Originally posted by BusterPorn
The question is: How can you verify that foreign affiliate is actually in compliance like you wish him to be, even if he says so and has a link reference from his site to your 2257 compliance info? The US Feds cannot verify that without going through the hassle as well. The maximum policy any US sponsor can enforce on a foreign webmasters is to ask such affiliate to have a link from their pages referencing 2257 info on a sponsor's site or not to deal with foreign business at all.Comment

Trade law. If you don't comply and you still try to sell to American you are violating trade law just as you would be if you failed to lable a food product that you were trying to sell in the US. So fine go ahead don't comply just don't make you site accessable to Americans and you're OK.Originally posted by exportyourbiz-com
The rule is no different from other forms of labeling requirements
imposed on foreign producers of, e.g., alcohol, tobacco, or food items
that are imported into the United States.
If you broke a rule regarding one of those items you can get busted so you can with this. Which part of NO DIFFERENT doesn't quite ring with you yet?Comment

If you are running your own sites fine do whatever you want if you are using American sposnro WHY are you being a hard ass and fucking it up for the rest of us? If you do not wish to comply do not use American sponors. Simple as that. Hell I hate these rules. That's why I will not use content. I don't now anyways. But if I was going to use content I would damned well follow these rules. Oh WTF does it matter anyways, if a sponsor isn't going to make you comply I guess you shouldn't.
