"including any person who enters into a contract, agreement, or conspiracy to do any of the foregoing."
(2) 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 that contains a visual depiction of actual sexually explicit conduct, or who inserts on a computer site or service a digital image of, or otherwise manages the content of a computer site or service [JDO: No "commercial" purpose included here.] that contains a visual depiction of, actual sexually explicit conduct, including any person who enters into a contract, agreement, or conspiracy to do any of the foregoing.
In my reading of this, "entering a conspiracy.." (sic) includes sending traffic by placement of and promotion of URLs on a "computer site or service". "URL" and "computer site or service" are also defined in the 2257 reg.
Now, giving my trusting nature I wouldn't think that posting URLs would be a problem. But, it's the interpretation of the reg, not the wording of the reg itself, that's scary.
Linking to a site without an affiliate code might be considered seperately from linking with an affiliate code. The presence of an affiliate code establishes a contract/agreement, and very likely fulfills the criteria for "entering a conspiracy".
Worse, linking to a specific gallery will easily show I am promoting that gallery, and those images/movies/what have you.
I'm not a "sky is falling" kind of person, but with what I've seen of the administration (read a-s-h-c-r-o-f-t, et al), I can easily see the reg being interpreted and enforced this way.
Actually, the scariest thing about the new wording is that "actual sexually explicit conduct" is not specifically defined anywhere. People have started using "hardcore" as a synonym, but in my mind nipple rubbing, dildo licking or butt-cheek spreading could easily be considered "actual sexually explicit conduct".
