2257 solution for thumb tgp owners - GoFuckYourself.com

Za Ha · 05-25-2005, 12:36 PM

As a thumb tgp owner you can do the following (at least I think so)

1) Blur your thumbs enough that they are not depicting sexual material.
2) Use a photoshop filter to render your thumbs black and white and make them mosaic/cartoon like... that would then turn that thumb into a piece of art and you have freedom of artistic expression.

Any thoughts?

Censor the thumbs with a black bar.

iwantchixx · 05-25-2005, 12:43 PM

Not sure if that would suffice. However, I have noticed some thumb tgp's starting to do this with young "looking" thumb previews.

This is not a viable answer as the photo still depicts a sexual act.

Any more idiot ideas?

That was not an option before the changes to the law.

It's decided by what the original image contained not an edited one.

crockett · 05-25-2005, 12:47 PM

It already says that you can't block out part of the the image in an atempt to not need the 2257 docs. You will still need them.

If you like being anally raped in prison follow this guys advise.

blurring or blacking out sexual content does NOT give you an exemption from 2257. hey try just using TEXT LINKS. And save yourself a whole lot of trouble.

Well... since you asked...

Get out of the tgp business

Is that a good idea?

How can you prove the original picture if I have modified it enough to not make it recognizable.

Or if I photoshop it enough that it looks like a drawing? If this is not allowed then art depicting any sexually explicit content will not be allowed. So I guess judges will require 2257 to display pictures of old masterpieces...

So I can crop a thumb from a softcore picture and link to a hardcore gallery?

Wy would you do that? Isn't the purpose of a thumb is to show what the bigger pic looks like?

From what I've been reading, that won't work either.

Well your're not from the US so you don't HAVE to comply BUT.....

The rule is no different from other forms of labeling requirements
imposed on foreign producers of, e.g., alcohol, tobacco, or food items
that are imported into the United States. In order to sell in the U.S.
market, foreign producers must comply with U.S. laws. This rule applies
equally to any sexually explicit material introduced into the stream of
commerce in the United States no matter where it was produced. Foreign
producers have the option of not complying with the rule, but then
their access to the U.S. market is justly and lawfully prohibited.

Wow, you really need to read and understand those regs and consult with a qualified lawyer. Either that or go text link.

I would do this to:

1) Not go against 2257
2) Thumb sites grow faster if you tease your surfer to click

I love how that is the generic answer to about 300 posts today by several people.

Shags · 05-25-2005, 01:07 PM

No more black censor bar on tv?

clickhappy · 05-25-2005, 01:09 PM

Well it sounds like as long as youre just showing face, no nudity or sexuality or anything, youre OK.
Non nude is exempt

According to the law that doesn't work.
if you block out the sexual part, the image is still sexual.

What makes him an idiot? For not fully understanding the regs? or for having an idea and conducting constructive conversation.

Either way, that's uncalled for. You're old, you're suposed to have some kind of tact.

Check your ego at the door grampa.

Perhaps people are saying it because you need to hear it? If one person took your advice from this thread and got themselves in hot water

Not even the lawyers are saying black and white you can or cannot do this or that, but you're telling people what they can do when it's quite clear that you can't do what you're suggesting?

Don't let charly get under your skin, he's getting older, that part of his brain that kept him happy is dying, he'll just get more miserable and more hateful as time goes on. It's common with geriatric folks.

Whatever. If I was a surfer and clicked thumb and it went to a completely different pic then I wouldn't go back to that site.

For the record I did not say you SHOULD I said you CAN do the following.

Also I did not say this will protect you from 2257 LOL.

It is just a suggestion that I thought would start some constructive brainstorming. For all those who are so mentally superiour to my ideas and that know everything there is to know about a law that got passed only a few days ago, I'm sorry that I have wasted your time trying to drop in my

Some of the biggest thumb sites crop only a portion of the picture to tease the surfer

Content produced before 1995 is grandfathered.

It's sad that you take people's suggestions to speak with a lawyer as an attack. Saying they can and saying they should isn't really any different. A lot of people are running scared because of this and they may just take your post as fact instead of seeking out truth.

I totally agree with you, ppl should seek the advice of a lawyer who knows what he or she is talking about.

MandyBlake · 05-27-2005, 12:24 PM

just use pics that don't need 2257 docs as your thumbs.

ChefJeff · 05-27-2005, 12:30 PM

Softcore pics that do not depict sexual acts are not subject to the new 2257 regs correct?
