That is exactly what I thought!
For the reason I decided to create this thread.

We have taken user submitted content for years, and we have the records for all of it. Like 100's of other legit sites that do the same thing. It's not all that hard to figure out, 10 different solutions to making it legal. At that, under the new laws - It's even easier for someone to run this type of content.

Correction sweetie, I know exactly how this area of the industry works.
It appears you think of yourself as being very informed. As a example, please explain to me how a webmaster can legally use my personal image (taken in my home) on his or her website and make a profit off of it without my consent ?
You stated '10 different solutions'.. please tell me just one using my example.

Thank you!
You are clearly supporting my point with concern to the rogue fast dollar
totally illegal websites.

The new 2257 rules, I can steal content from 'some sources' and stay legal..

LOL, I think you misunderstood me.
Example : You own website A ... you're telling me you can legally use someone elses user submitted content from their website on your website and make a profit off of it ?
Oh really? With no 2257 documentation / The poor unsuspecting girl who is depicted in the image. Plz enlighten me of you can stay legal doing that ?

you need to do more research before you think you can go "throwing them under the bus"
happy hunting...

Yes, a handful, a very small handful are legal. I am referring to websites based in the US using US based servers. What is more surprising is how CCBill allows this ?
Perhaps you can dabble in some research yourself.

One side is the legal part of it - the other is policy (payment processor, VISA, hosting etc.)
And how can you be sure/prove some content is produced after 1992, if you do not have the IDs yourself?
I know what you mean, but it is my impression that the paysites use "safe" content. What amaze me, is how the free pichosts and sharing communities can survive 2257 or other local laws. |
Well, one way I know I am very sure their content is post 1992 is for one obvious way. The photos are digitally dated like 2003, 2007, some from only a month ago. Quite simple really.
I know, pic hosts are another topic all in itself.
