For playboy (and most pay sites) it's not going to be that difficult to maintain records. Don't get me wrong - it will take a lot of work and will require some new procedures to stay compliant, but it's certainly possible.

For TGPs, well.. I don't know how a webmaster can accept gallery submissions anymore. When someone submits a gallery, I become a secondary producer of that content, and there's no way I'm going to spend the time and effort to track down documentation from every sponsor on every performer that is shown.

I'm not sure what they are trying to accomplish by only showing non-nude or face only thumbs. The gallery can still have nudes, etc, so they are still a secondary producer in regards to that content. It also does't seem to matter if you host the images or not - if you even link to them, you are a secondary producer by definition.

Hell - the thumbs don't even matter. I thought for a moment about doing only text linked TGP pages, but a URL is a URL..

Screw it.. if they start enforcing this, I'll switch over to selling cheese or shoes or penis pills...
