2257 & True Amateur Content ? -- How is it possible ?

Bye Bye!

do you ever get the feeling it might be a good idea to wipe your browser cache after opening some threads?

the twists in some of these threads are better than daytime soaps!

Perhaps a screen shot of his members area which displays such ?
Then I would be posting underage content!

If it's okay by admin, I will with-out hesitation post a screen-shot of it here!
Then he'll be investigated. The sad part is he doesn't even know whats displayed on his pages let alone uploaded on his server!
It's really quite sad.
Do you really want to test your luck again ?
I am advising you not to!

I am certainly not here to assist him in anyway!
I am not here to be your friend!
I care about what you think of me as much as you care what I say!

So you's can swarm around with your pirated DVD's.. stolen content, hidden secret tube sites, lies, threads claiming you have killer ratios when you haven't had a honest sale in days.. Acting like ya's have all the answers .. trashing people as most of you have a grave yard full of skeletons in the closet..
Vacations in Cancun have turned into running through your sprinkler in the back yard sweating like Al Bundy.. Fancy restaurants are now the drive-thru at Burger King..

I mean who do you think you're fooling ? For gods sake Steve Lightspeed chooses not to be around here anymore!
The days of Shanchez peeing off Zilla over a domain was classic!
Now it has come down to picking on Shap over his tube connection.
In your wildest dreams can any of you fly-by-night people match Shap's success!
Never will this message board be the same!
The new breed of webmaster is in town and the adult industry is a disaster!

Sincerely
Stephanie Hastert

PS: Coming this week I will be adding a down blouse section!
Surfers welcome!

Exactly what I was thinking when I read the thread this morning.

Not exactly accurate, and 2257 can be used to stop others from stealing your content. If a site infringes on your copyright you can forgo a copyright claim and file an unfair business claim instead -- at least here in California.

Without reading everything (and this might have been posted before)...

Steph, what you might not realize is this:


A real life amateur takes pics of her and her boyfriend doing POV BJ's... She sends it in to RealGFs and they get the licenses from both people in the pics and they match. Then they now have the 2257 docs they need. They have them sign releases and get a second ID... blah blah...

After 2 years they license that content to someone else and give them copies of the 2257. Or they do this for 8 other sites.

Now you start seeing it on newsgroups and what not as surfers repost it illegally...

Then you get it from a newsgroup and ASSUME the content has never had any 2257 docs ever because you see 9 paysites with the same content and they "must" be doing what you are doing right? Just ripping content? No...

So you get the DOJ involved. And they check everyone for docs... and then you are the only one fucked... and now you know why.

BTW, do I get some kind of reward?

Stephanie Hastert, you stated that you have the same content on your site, and
that you have neither 2257 documentation, nor copyright rights, so that pretty much
disqualifies you from complaining about other people doing the same thing that
you're doing, doesn't it?

The only difference you noted was that you make your money from ads and
don't try to keep kids from seeing your site, while the people you are complaining
about limit access to adults only because they are pay sites. From a legal
standpoint, that puts them in a better position than you. You also probably
have higher traffic, given that your site is ad based, so you're committing
the offences more. (Each time the image is displayed it's a copyright infringement
and a violation of 2257, if 2257 isn't followed).

Is it possible to have real amateur content and stay within 2257? Sure.
The most obvious way is to do what all of the magazines do, require
submissions to include a copy of their ID. One could also take a model
who has never modeled before, do a regular shoot, pay them, and it
would look amateur and they actually would be amateurs during the shoot,
up until the time they got their first check in their hands.

Life Lesson

When you go to a forum and ask for advice, you get better results if you do not turn into a super condescending bitch if the first few replies are not what you wanted hear.


Just a thought.....

This is why I'm a firm believer that if a bitch isn't being shot for content, she should not be out of the kitchen...

That would be hell of a hard fight. Unfair business, based on no proof that another person isn't keeping proper secondary records, even if it was theft. If you lost, couldn't that bite you in the ass?

I can't see someone reaching that far when you have theft, criminal complaint/charges, copyright issues and so on to help push an unfair business claim.
