Your answer can't be, look at my 2257 page, because the DOJ agent won't know which content producer is associated with the SPECIFIC image.

Under the EXISTING 2257 statue, you need to be able to answer this question.

The real lesson from this, is not about not including a pic that has a fully clothed boy in the background that was cropped out.... it's documenting where you got your content from, associating pics to content producer, such that if you do dabble in young looking content, that you can answer the simple question that could be asked of you.

Since it seems you are running your sites via DB, you might be able to include an extra column that tags where the image came from at the point you enter it into your db, and that would really go along way towards 2257 compliance.

Consulting an attorney about how you are handling your 2257 issues would be a good idea, and i can referer you to some if you wish.

Humm.. interesting point. But what TGP CAN do this? Can Thumbzilla tell you what content producer is matched with each gallery? How about Shemp? Or theHun? Can anyone other than the sponsor do this? I would have to contact each sponsor and ask them. Do you know what they would say? They'd say, "Sure, and you can pay the employee's hourly wage that is getting the data together." Or they'd most likely just laugh at me and tell me no, it isn't possible and they will not give me that kind of info.
