    Where are all the non US webmasters that said 2257 wouldn't affect them?

    Excerpt from Karups new policy.

    "There are no exceptions to this no matter what country you live in. As of June 23, 2005 anyone caught promoting our sites after that date using hardcore content and not complying with the new 2257 legislation will have their account closed."


    That would mean you = affected.

          If you had 5000 galleries listed with that sponsors content you couldn't just "change sponsors" as you say. This is just one, how many more will follow?

            And who knows what all of the US based TGP's etc will do. This is going to affect almost everyone in some way or another.

                    Sure, but everyone already using them has lots of work to do. And how many sponsors will follow? I doubt most want to even worry about their affiliates getting them on the radar. Time will tell.

                      I guess it depends upon if the sponsor wants to take chances.

                            I expect to see a lot of accounts canned for not meeting the new tos's that will probably be implemented by a lot of sponsors shortly.
                            I said it over a week ago, so I'm not surprised in the LEAST.

                                I know man, I'm just going to keep reminding them anyway. This is exactly what I was worried about, and I don't live in the US. If my sponsors are affected by it then I know I can be. What a pain in the ass.

                                    How many more sponsors are you willing to do that for?

                                    Because before it's all over with, I guarantee you almost all if not all US Based companies will be implementing this policy or something similar.

                                              Have fun. Meanwhile US based webmasters and those that won't give up US sponsors will be using non explicit promo and will be raking in the cash. You might gain some more freeloading traffic though.

                                                As long as you don't make US sales with non-2257 compliant sponsors you may be OK. Otherwise if you ever step foot on US territory or cooperating you are fair game.

                                                  well ........ IMHO it is the other way around, to you a copyrighted word ( by Juicy ) and used too many by SD ......... you are an idiot.
                                                  All american webmasters and the non americans that will follow ( the so-called sheep )
                                                  will loose at the end, there will be always a way to make money as long as european companies will not comply.
                                                  I urge everybody to comply to all stupid rules and regulations since it is owned by the American Laws and Sponsors LOL

                                                          problem solved !
                                                          You know I have had great respect for the thumblord in the past. But this statement makes very little sense to me.


                                                          Euro webmasters always speak of changing to Euro sponsors only. Why are you bothering to use american sponsors to begin with then?


                                                          just asking because I really don't know.

                                                            because I always used american sponsors as from the beginning, simple answer but true, if it is time to change well ......... I will protect my business and I dislike people trying to pass rules and regulations on me, that is all

                                                                                      People are jumping on this because it likely suits their own agendas, but a little analysis wouldn't hurt.

                                                                                      The provision of sexually explicit material by a primary producer to a secondary producer - without the required documentation - is itself an offense. The new regulations do not specifically state that this also applies to transactions between secondary producers, but I doubt any lawyer would recommend a client to put himself in the position of potentially needing to defend himself on this technicality. Likewise, I wouldn't want to have to argue that by making content available, I wasn't actually providing it.

                                                                                      So although the effect of Karup applying the same rules to US and non-US affiliates is to keep the playing field level, if they had good legal advice, it was done out of self-interest. That isn't a criticism, just an observation and a suggestion to recognize that US-based sponsors who do not similarly protect themselves could find themselves hosting gentlemen from the DOJ before too long. They might be baskets into which you don't put too many of your eggs.

                                                                                      It happens that I have respected Karups for years, so I'm not bothered by their statement that they will terminate anyone using their hardcore to promote them (unless they are 2257 compliant, which they cannot be unless Karup provide the docs). But that is potentially one heck of a catch-all in the hands of less scrupulous sponsors and we can all think of examples from the past. It will be an even worse idea in future to sign up with a sponsor with carefully reading the fine print.

                                                                                      Finally, we can expect the people who are hoping to see the end of free porn, those who don't want to have to maintain records and the - I suspect very few - with genuine concerns about the models, to applaud this kind of policy. Just don't let their enthusiasm disguise the fact that the only effect of these moves (and therefore of the legislation itself) is to put US sponsors and (most) US webmasters at a disadvantage.

                                                                                      Yes I know we can use softcore to promote hardcore sites (at least so long as the softcore pics don't come from partially hardcore sets and wouldn't the consequences be unpleasant if you didn't realize that's what you were doing and got caught?) and I know we can promote anything with text alone. But that "we" isn't "we" at all... it's "some of us". It takes a special creativity to do either of those things. Some webmasters have it and have always gone that route, but there are a lot of people who will soon discover they don't have the necessary talent. Before you get too caught up in the general hysteria, just recognize that many of those who are cheering on policies such as the one Karup has announced, are doing so because they fully expect a lot less competition in future.

                                                                                                    Because before it's all over with, I guarantee you almost all if not all US Based companies will be implementing this policy or something similar.
