It also has nothing to do with a thumbnail TGP, or any other adult website, that advertises content produced and sold exclusively by other people. Producing matter that requires 2257 statements "does not include mere distribution or any other activity which does not involve hiring, contracting for managing, or otherwise arranging for the participation of the performers depicted." 18 USC 2257 Nor is a TGP owner typically "offering for sale or transfer" any material at all, any more than a newspaper "offers for sale or tranfer" the goods advertised therein.

I've never understood why the typical adult webmaster worries about 2257. Unless you produce content and/or have a paysite, the law doesn't apply to you. At all.
