Yes the 2257 law only applies to US citizens.

the US gov can go after an american citizen even if the servers are in other countries. your breaking a US LAW on/from US soil.

:upsidedow That's sweet :upsidedow

No problem :thumbsup

it says it doesn't comply to the hosting companies, but that doesn't mean all the sites on their server are free and clear.. They are meaning it's not the hosts responsibility for the content on the sites they host.

This sucks if one owns a Fetish thumb tgp... :(

On the other hand we're not from the us and will probably switch hosting to our other host wich is in Belgium.

yea but the IP address

IP Address: 64.71.165.210 (ARIN & RIPE IP search)
IP Location: - California - Valencia - The Bteg Network

crockett,


Most hosting companies have their terms, in wich they also state that therye not responsible for any injuries caused by the client.

So basically it comes down to the client, wich for example would be dutch can do whatever he wants on an US based Hosting.


Anno_0, Switching host doesnt get you out of trouble, you have to comply with your law, so you just have to remove all the hardcore stuff.

haha.. thats fucking funny.. you might have to change the domain or background color though cause that might offend someone. White is a more offensive color than black, mexican or chinese color.

:1orglaugh

move your server to france and put all the whois info in French.

problem solved.

Well, we're from Sweden and there is no such law here :glugglug

50 EXPERTS !

i think that info is wrong

this 62.250.2.2 is for NS.VUURWERK.NL

ii. mere distribution

you will never go to jail unless you actually produced the CP or knowingly distributed it. :2 cents:

also...


"but does not include mere distribution or any other activity which does not involve hiring, contracting for[,] managing, or otherwise arranging for the participation of the performers depicted.''

I'm swtiching to text only descriptions...

That's what I like to hear.

got me

good one :1orglaugh

There is a section on TGP in my 2257 summary:

its unclear how to competely comply.
whether you live in the states but have a server hosted elsewhere, that may not protect you.
or what about hotlinking content from a sponsor.. that may not protect you since you control the html and are placing the img tags in there.

thanks for the info crockett,

i'm not taking any trades at the moment but i have something in mind in a little bit that i will hit you up on:thumbsup

Bump... Noone has mentioned what to do for thumb TGPs regarding the new 2257 law.

Can someone give a concise, clear, and simple method on how to comply?

You made sense untill you said

"...if you only link to sponsor hosted or submitted galleries that have 2257 info..."

There is mass confusion right now. No one knows.
Wait till the 28th or whatever, and a lot more will be cleared up.

I saw that.

I figured so, I'm just totally confused now. :(

What he said.

im waiting until the 28th, hopefully there will be a bunch of programs released to make changing your gallery pages quickly with the 2257 info
