Search Engines...TGP's and 2257
Since the new 2257 rules have not yet been published...and only the proposed 2257 rules are known...I still ask this question? Does anyone that is knowlegeable about the proposed 2257 rules state with reasonable certainty (having had legal advice) that the proposed 2257 rules do not pertain to text links.
In other words Search Engines and some TGP's use only text links but yet those links will display porn that is hosted by someone other than the Search Engine or the TGP...does this place them in the category of secondary producer/publisher?
In addition TGP's are advertisers of Affiliate Programs...so as advertisers do they have any legal culpability to see that those they advertise for are meeting their full 2257 legal requirements?
BTW...legal advice from a singular attorney is not the definitive end all...as attorney's have different opinions as to the interpretation of law. It is like many issues...one has to garner a consensus.
Anyhow anyone care to take a crack at these questions?
