    Is Google considered a secondary producer?

    Does Google have to provide 2257 for Google Images as a secondary producer? If not, what is the clause/loophole that allows them to get out of it? From what I understood, if the site has unmanaged content and is a form of communication, it is considered exempt, however, Google isn't really a form of communication, GTalk is, Google is not.

    Thoughts?

    Oh, and why are there 2 lightbulbs on the Post Icons @ GFY? ()

      They fall under the service provider category and are therefore exempt.

        Wouldn't a TGP be considered a "service provider" also? Providing a service of delivering porn in an organized listing for easy navigation?

            I've been wondering this myself... how does one get this "exempt" status? Do I need a certain technology to qualify?

            Or just notoriety and enough money to debate how information is indexed and classified in court...

              No Google is not a secondary producer and not required to have 2257 documents because they have too much money to tie up this new law in court.

                  That's a good question to pose to a lawyer, however I would suspect only if it was 100% pure automated submissions with no approval process. Part of Google's catch is, it's purely automated and there's nobody at Google going out and actively seeking, or adding content.

                      So the TGP's that use spiders to list grab galleries automatically from other TGPs are safe? How do the feds know which sites use spiders and which don't? Just put text at your tgp's disclaimer saying "This site is 100% automated, please contact us if you wish to stop us from indexing your website, or if you find content you wish to have removed"

                        Honestly, I'm not sure how it all works. I'll be having this discussion with our lawyer in a couple of weeks, I'm really very curious what sets a service provider apart.

                          Seriously guys, it has nothing to do with the law here. Google has money, and the government doesn't want to play with them. No matter how you shape the argument, the feds will go after those who can't defend themselves and turn a blind eye to the billionaires.

                            I guess not...Google as a whole is a search engine...each images has it's own sites...Google's main service is just to search for images...and it doesn't mean that they have responsibility over those stuff being searched by the surfers...

                              I search for images too through my sponsors, so its ok for a computer to search but not a human? that doesnt make sense.
