great article, thanks!
a little question, the new regulations ONLY affect hardcore content, so if you do softcore nudes or even non nude sites you don't need 2257 records?
thx!
edit: not for paysites of course, but i mean TGPs or freesites/galleries using softcore.

current and proposed regulations cover "sexually explicit" content, which covers "hardcore".
softcore doesn't require 2257 if it is not defined as "sexually explicit" (ie. penetration, masturbation, etc)....if you are defining "softcore" as no penetration, masturbation, etc.
as i wrote in my article, what you may have an issue is if a "softcore" image looks under 18.. then you may need to prove that she isn't by a District Attorney inquiry.. so you really should treat softcore with 2257 gloves on to really be on the safe side (and yes, that does sound like a lawyerly conservative/paranoid answer, since that answer about softcore was given to me by my general counsel).
