Where are all the non US webmasters that said 2257 wouldn't affect them?
 

Excerpt from Karups new policy.

"There are no exceptions to this no matter what country you live in. As of June 23, 2005 anyone caught promoting our sites after that date using hardcore content and not complying with the new 2257 legislation will have their account closed."


That would mean you = affected.

maybe time to built up powefull euro sponsor..... :pimp

solution: change sponsor

problem solved

oh my,im gonna lose my sleep now

If you had 5000 galleries listed with that sponsors content you couldn't just "change sponsors" as you say. This is just one, how many more will follow?

And who knows what all of the US based TGP's etc will do. This is going to affect almost everyone in some way or another.

yeah and with the same thinking if I'm sending 100 joins a day the sponsor will do NOTHING

Just don't use Karups then :winkwink:

Sure, but everyone already using them has lots of work to do. And how many sponsors will follow? I doubt most want to even worry about their affiliates getting them on the radar. Time will tell.

I guess it depends upon if the sponsor wants to take chances.

the same way sponsors say "No mailings!" but they welcome all big mailers

chadgini, I spent a whole night debating this witha few fools on the board who think this will not affect them in any way...don't waste your time they just don't get it..it truly shows you who is really business minded in this industry.

I said it over a week ago, so I'm not surprised in the LEAST.

time to take their galleries off my TGP's then.
problem solved !

I know man, I'm just going to keep reminding them anyway. This is exactly what I was worried about, and I don't live in the US. If my sponsors are affected by it then I know I can be. What a pain in the ass.

Congrats, now how many other US sponsors do you use?

How many more sponsors are you willing to do that for?

Because before it's all over with, I guarantee you almost all if not all US Based companies will be implementing this policy or something similar.

well .......... I change if I have to, to only european sponsors.
problem solved !

Good luck on trying to build the next TCG, NastyDollars, Karups...etc...etc...etc :thumbsup

:1orglaugh good luck with that.

there are big european sponsors and loads of smaller ones.
problem solved !

Have fun. Meanwhile US based webmasters and those that won't give up US sponsors will be using non explicit promo and will be raking in the cash. You might gain some more freeloading traffic though. :thumbsup

As long as you don't make US sales with non-2257 compliant sponsors you may be OK. Otherwise if you ever step foot on US territory or cooperating you are fair game.

well ........ IMHO it is the other way around, to you a copyrighted word ( by Juicy ) and used too many by SD ......... you are an idiot.
All american webmasters and the non americans that will follow ( the so-called sheep )
will loose at the end, there will be always a way to make money as long as european companies will not comply.
I urge everybody to comply to all stupid rules and regulations since it is owned by the American Laws and Sponsors LOL

basicly just a matter of some investments , few skilled people - the rest speaks for EU.

I am NOT planning to ever set foot again on american soil, that is a promise !

oh shit it is the end of the internet

You know I have had great respect for the thumblord in the past. But this statement makes very little sense to me.


Euro webmasters always speak of changing to Euro sponsors only. Why are you bothering to use american sponsors to begin with then?


just asking because I really don't know.

because I always used american sponsors as from the beginning, simple answer but true, if it is time to change well ......... I will protect my business and I dislike people trying to pass rules and regulations on me, that is all

Well as long as the government presiding over the address you live at never cooperates with the US you are safe. Good luck with that :thumbsup

whatever, I have to sign off, have to find non-american sponsors LOL

Hopefully your government won't cooperate with the US and any regulations that pass won't be retroactive.

how the fuck is following the law being a sheep?

You're telling me the ONLY way you can make money is by giving away free hardcore?

as for stupid rules, I see quite a few on your TGP....what's with all of those silly rules? Are you afraid of your submitters making cash?

good luck with that

Good point

Good move. One should get away from the world's largest adult webmaster board to find adult companies. They don't know shit here. :upsidedow

The only one that I have seen before today that had a policy specifically for this was Extreme.

They said that you need to follow the laws in your country of residence. That seems fair to me.

I already choose sponsors based on various factors - good free content, epass payouts etc.

This will just be another item on my list.

Just wait...you'll see more.
.

who knows man - maye some EU sponsors will grow up really
who knows
I am just sure that we will see lot of our friends in Mcdonalds before xmass
