That is what that paragraph is saying, you can't take one section of the regulation out of context you have to read the whole thing.

"A secondary producer is any person who produces, assembles, manufactures, publishes, duplicates, reproduces, or reissues a book, magazine, periodical, film, videotape, a computer-generated image, digital image, or picture, or other matter intended for commercial distribution"

A TGP webmaster doesn't do any of the above.. This is talking about people that produce the content and people that resell, produce, duplicate, etc that content. Nowhere does it say display.


You are taking the word "publish" too literally. In the legal realm context, publish would mean putting a picture up on your website.
By allowing others to view the images, you are "distributing".


Answer these questions for yourself:

1) Do you show sexually explicit images (see 2256 definition) on your TGP?


2) Are there sexually explicit images physically located on your hard drive?



If you answered yes, then you do have 2257 issues.

You should really have your attorney weigh in on your specific situation given what has been proposed: http://www.regulations.gov/freddocs/04-13792.htm
