Stephanie Hastert, you stated that you have the same content on your site, and
that you have neither 2257 documentation, nor copyright rights, so that pretty much
disqualifies you from complaining about other people doing the same thing that
you're doing, doesn't it?

The only difference you noted was that you make your money from ads and
don't try to keep kids from seeing your site, while the people you are complaining
about limit access to adults only because they are pay sites. From a legal
standpoint, that puts them in a better position than you. You also probably
have higher traffic, given that your site is ad based, so you're committing
the offences more. (Each time the image is displayed it's a copyright infringement
and a violation of 2257, if 2257 isn't followed).

Is it possible to have real amateur content and stay within 2257? Sure.
The most obvious way is to do what all of the magazines do, require
submissions to include a copy of their ID. One could also take a model
who has never modeled before, do a regular shoot, pay them, and it
would look amateur and they actually would be amateurs during the shoot,
up until the time they got their first check in their hands.
