I want to make it clear to those who didn't take the time to read the new regs (clearly, a lot of you here haven't) that they specifically mentioned movie theaters as being exempt, and that wasn't just an example of mine.
I think the "distributor" term needs serious clarification. That's obviously what the movie theater falls under. Now we need to know the specific conditions that put websites into this same category.
I have a feeling it has to do with how the content is presented.
A video originally licensed from a producer could be presented one of two ways by a website;
"Check out this hot model we shot this week!"
or...
"Check out this hot video from XYZ Studio!"
One takes credit and bundles it with the website as a whole (ie; buying content from 5 different producers and claiming to consumers that you shot it all yourself).
The other screens someone else's work and keeps it separate from the rest in terms of credits. Which is what a movie theater does.
Hmm
