Ok it's Monday and I'm stupid on Monday so keep this in mind.

So are you saying that every webmaster out there (thousands of them) transfer all of their galleries to sponsor free hosts?

1. I have a feeling many of them would be slow as shit.
2. Sponsors bandwidth would hit the roof. You say "free" so I assume you expect the sponsors to just basically pay the hosting bill of every webmaster out there?
3. This also puts a lot of extra time and expense onto the sponsor. They would have to monitor it for what would be thousands of webmasters to make sure their content is legal and complies with the regulations. If it doesn't I'm sure their ass would be the one that gets screwed.
4. How would it be handled if one webmaster uses 30 different programs? Are they supposed to keep track of all 30 of these new free hosts?
5. Would you have problems with your licenced content? After all, I licenced it, now it is on a domain owned by someone else? Would this require transferring all the licenses over?

While it sounds good at first...to me it sounds like "hey webmasters, I have come up with a great idea to get rid of the 2257 headache...just give it to the sponsor for them to deal with!" I think sponsors will have enough to keep them busy keeping track of all of their own 2257 requirments without taking on the responsibility and expense of doing it for all the webmasters. If they did I would forsee at least a couple full time people devoted to nothing but taking care of the 2257 of the webmasters. Sounds good for the webmasters, but sounds like hell for the sponsors...and a large expense for them to....and legal problems because ultimately if you put everything in their hands it is their ass on the line.

Chase: Damn! They should have someone like you in gov't. What you purpose is a perfect solution. No one models without a gov't licence. A central database for those that use a models material to just enter into the database a URL that it is on and photographers can enter information regarding new sets etc. Everything centrally located, no mess, no fuss.
