    Explain 2257 to me as if I we're a third grader....

    I run a TGP with some thumbs on it.

    All thumbs lead to Free Hosted Sponsor Galleries...

    How will 2257 affect me?
    Will I be safe if the sponsors I am using provide me with the required links?

    That's the problem with third graders...They can't afford to hire an attorney.

                You are Canadian? Nobody knows how this affects foreign webmasters yet, as far as I know. A few good threads to check out are Mutt's, Dready's, and mine about 2257. There are some interesting plans and questions brought up in them.

                      Heh ya Paraskass!! Tried to catch you at the poker game!

                      Here's a couple of links for you~~

                      The amendment itself due to go into effect as an amendment to an already existing law~ http://www.regulations.gov/freddocs/04-13792.htm

                      and a great thread on green guy and jim~http://www.greenguyandjim.com/board/...?threadid=8832


                      I'ts just a stricter enforcement of an already existing law, which webmasters have, thus far, treated like they would a speed limit. ~As a canadian webmaster, it should be a different bird for you, but who knows in these days and times

                      Peace and Love, LadyHarley

                          No, it's not. This is far more than what you are suggesting.

                            In some ways...Yes.....In other ways, no. But that has nothing to do with the question he asked or the answer you initially gave.

                              Aaron, why being so difficult? These are the original questions.
                              1. How will 2257 affect me? Answer: not sure yet, since he's Canadian.

                              2. Will I be safe if the sponsors I am using provide me with the required links? Answer: I don't know. Has this one been established? Since they are being hosted by the sponsor, isn't it up to the sponsor to keep the 2257 info for them?

                                from what I am understanding, this is the jist of it

                                when it goes into affect if you have any images on a server YOU run or you control, you HAVE to have the 2257 for the model...so if you run a tgp and thousands of pics of naked people, you must have 2257 for each naked person that is hosted on your site

                                this is for the US though, as was stated before, no clue about canada and if they will be complying with the US laws

                                  Pretty much summed it up

                                      what if you have a banner that has a naked chic in it? Do you need 2257 info on that chic?

                                      The law is built on precedent, unless they go into all the "what ifs" and what not, theres no way we'll know exactly what to do. Unless all the sponsors add a new section to their affiliates area called "2257 forms" for all of us to download, how do they suppose we get all of this?

                                      I need a lawyer.

                                        There are people who were affiliates not producers their whole adult career . Now before these new changes affiliate meant you got to say you were in the porno business with none of the responsibility. This must be a terrible culture shock to them. Now myself I will be spending a day going over all my files with my lawyer so I can be as close to compliant as possible by the end of July. Canceling all shoots until this is done nothing else happens.

                                          is it just me or is this new 2257 looking like the opening of a big can of worms for if mr bush and his anti porn team get back in control after the election?

                                                      I've said it before... if you are on this forum (for business) and you support Bush, you are a fucking moron.

                                                        The law is built on precedent, unless they go into all the "what ifs" and what not, theres no way we'll know exactly what to do. Unless all the sponsors add a new section to their affiliates area called "2257 forms" for all of us to download, how do they suppose we get all of this?

                                                        I need a lawyer.

                                                        Basically what the law says is that if you publish porn you need to be in posession of the 2257 documentation, Which is a legal ID, Passport, Drivers License, National ID, somethoing with the name, Date of Birth and the models picture.

                                                        You need to also cross reference every where that model appears on the Net, not sure if they want you to list where you have her or where anyone has her, and all her nicknames and modeling names.

                                                        Seriously go see a lawyer if you are in the US. Not sure how it will effect foreigners.

By reading the new regs it would appear that they have no fucking clue what it takes to become fully compliant or they are aware and banking on the chance that most people will not be able to conform to the new rules.

                                                              On the flip side....I am all for some changes to these old laws. I see nothing wrong with bringing them up to date and perhaps even making them more strict.....But let's be reasonable here.

Regardless what the outcome of this new amendment happens to be, I see Sponsors becoming a lot more strict on this requirement with their affiliates. Why? Because when all is said and done, it is the Sponsor who will face the tougher penalty as the primary producer. And, if the affiliate is outside the US, you better believe they'll be even more motivated to go after and stick it to the US based Sponsor.

                                                                  Bottomline for all (US based or not): Get an attorney, get compliant and stay that way.
