?

I do not understand your question

You the gallery maker are responsible.

Is the content yours, or is it from a sponsor??

Honestly a better question would be how are tgp designers going to comply with the posting rules. :winkwink:

If you own the page with the content, and it's on your server, you are considered a co-producer, so therefore you must hold digital copies.

I'm staying in the TGP area..we arn't considered co-producers for the galleries we list unless they are ours :glugglug

if it's from a sponsor, what does the gallery maker need to do? provide a link to the 2257 page of the sponsor? or he doesn't need to do anything?

p.s: I don't really care because I'm not in the US, but I'm just interested

from what i understand, the publisher 2nd from the content provider must supply records. So providers must supply digital copies to anyone who buys their content.
I know ZipContent.com is already sending digital records with 90% of their packages that are bought.

If the gallery builder is using sponsored content, they are considered a 3rd party user.... sponsor being second(must hold recrods), and provider being the first.
So i'm not sure if the gallery builder needs the records becasue it's sponsored content.
...i'm only sure for about 80% of this.....so don't read this post thinking i'm 100% correct..i'm just spitting out what i've read and heard.

If you host it, YOU are the secondary-producer. No difference if a sponsor says "here download it free" or not.
Applies to "sexually-explicit" banners obviously as well.

If its a HOSTED sponsor gallery, well thats entirely different.

But I'm no lawyer.

oh boy. :glugglug

I honestly think someone is going to take this to the Supreme Court and fight it. It's kind of ridiculous if you ask me. We will see in the weeks to come. :2 cents:

yep...it's fucked up

so now your expected to contant every single sponsor your promote and obtain records for the gils ?

its from the sponsor

There is no place like home, no place like home.

this is going to hardcore suck ass isnt it

bend over and grease up boys, here comes asshat.

Not as bad as the rumors and second guesses do.
Funny though how everyone bypassed my question/observation early on.

so whens the due date to get this done? aug 24?

No, that is when you find out final version. You will have a month after that.
