I am running a contest this month on one of my sites where I ask people to send in pictures of themselves nude displaying my web site address somewhere on their body or in the picture. The most creative entry wins one of my crappy T-shirts at the end of June.
I clearly state the contest is only open to those 18 years of age and older in the U.S. and Canada.
Once someone submits me a picture I ask them to send me another email stating the following:
"I hereby certify I am the person in the picture(s) I emailed to you and that I was 18 years of age or older when the photo was taken."
Am I asking for trouble, or does this cover my butt good enough? How do all those huge amateur sites that accept submitted pictures protect themselves? I realize people that shoot their own content need signed release papers and proof of identification, etc., but there is no way big sites like watchersweb.com, for example, get release papers and proof of ID from everyone that submits pictures of themselves to them.
