Thisis a big win for the FSC, the tenth circuit has agreed with a prior tenth circuit rylling striking down the secondary producer concept as it relates to 2257

It's No wonder I took up drugs and alcohol, it's the only way I could dumb myself down enough to cope with the morons in this biz.
So far, it seems like a big win for webmasters over the incredibly ridiculous burdens they were looking to apply.. BUT, remember, existing 10 year 2257 still applies to all webmasters...and this is the 10th circuit.
What has not changed is the responsibility to be able to point DOJ to the content producer of any image you carry on your website.
So if you are playing the "knock knock, it's DOJ " game at home, look at any image on your site, and see if you can identify which content producer that is listed on your 2257.html page that image belongs to.
If you can't do that, then doesn't matter that the secondary recordkeeper requirements have been knocked down, you still have a 2257 problem.
"it appears as though the court has also struck down the requirement to keep a copy of the depiction as it applies to Internet chat sites, which may or may not include live web streaming."
Yes technically it is a small win in what should be a larger battle to rid the industry of 2257 there should never be a law providing you to prove you didn't do something
