Read it close, VERY close, that DOES NOT involve the.....
So if you insert an image, but did NOT hire, contract, manage, etc etc you are not a producer, that how it reads for me.
It's the , that does it theirs not a . it's a comma, meaning (AND)

To paraphrase: Any activity OTHER THAN THOSE ACTIVITIES ALREADY MENTIONED.
I'm not meaning to argue here. Honestly just trying to point this out. I don't know how people keep reading over that part and then ignoring it. No aggression meant here at all.
I'm sitting next to a lawyer... Basic and simple, It says you are a secondary producer if you manage a web site. Then the part you quoted says, if you are not already defined in one of the previous parts, you are exempt if you fall under this stuff... We are ALL defined in the previous parts as a secondary producer.
For example, I'm a host. I am not exempt from all this shit just becuase I am a host, I still manage web sites. I can't claim that because I run the hosting company, I get an exemption. A web site manager can't claim he "distributes" to get an exemption when it's already been defined clearly that a web site manager is a secondary producer.
If you put pictures on your site that are explicit (Thumbs, banners, etc...) you are a secondary producer. If you're a secondary producer, all the other shit doesn't apply to you. You are required to have records or face 5-10 years in prison. Are you really willing to risk that?
