2257 - how do you comply with sponsors who...

as a canadian... Im fine with that...

My main concern is if a US sponsors ask me to take my non-hosted galleries down at the last minute... while it as already been submitted for paid listings...

Can US sponsors tell us how they'll handle that situation? Do they even care? I dont think they can get in trouble for what an affiliate has listed on his site..

I can't see how a non-hosted gallery could possibly impact the sponsor. They don't control the domain or the content, so it has nothing to do with them, right?

Helpful as always, GFY...

Oh well.... Go back to your "show yer tits" threads.

well.. from what I get.. its like spam.. they cannot really get in trouble for what an affiliate does... but its against their policies and may terminate you if they catch you...

Most of the content producers that are participating in the 2257lookup service already provide jpeg images of model ID (with info blackened out).

For the proposed changes, this could be the documentation you need. We will have to see if the blackened-out ID are seeing as being "tampered" therefore not valid records.

Where webmasters really need to pay attention to 2257, is with the CURRENT 2257 statue.

Can you identify which content producer/provider you acquired an image from for a specific image? For all of your images?

All you need to do is have a spreadsheet that tracks the URL of the images on your site and the other column is where you got the image from. This is what current 2257 requires. The requlation changes like having the model ID will surely be contested by industry attorneys, but you stil have to comply with the law.

Until the proposed change of having to have the model ID is official, content producers are not required, obligated, or should be giving you Model ID pics that are unblackened.

If you can't identify each image on your site as to where it came from, you have current 2257 problems.

This is where 2257lookup.com helps to address.

As a Canadian, I plan to link to the sponsor 2257 page until such time as the Sponsor says they can't or won't pay unless I fully comply with US law.

You don't comply with that sponsor, you quit promoting them.
