TGP Are they Legal
 

Yeah I post to TGP, but you have got to admit they are only targeting the underaged teen market. You offer free pictures they visit by the thousands.

I was wondering since most TGP have a warning and all that stuff, who honestly thinks that will keep the kids out, haven't you seen South Park.

Just to sum it up I don't want some kids mother sueing me for images their kid downloaded from TPG sites.

Yeah I do have AVS when they do click on the link in my gallerys but most just press the back button for more FREE PICTURES.

Am I safe or do I turn a blind eye waiting for that day in court.

leaving a kid alone with access to the unfiltered net is like leaving him in front of cable tv with no perental controls set, you just don't do that if you care, it's upto parents and supervise their children, I do.
you would'nt give them a chainsaw and tell them 'go play'....would you.

What law says you are responsible for monitoring teens on the net and making sure they don't view porn?

I mean teens can get credit cards these days, so then pay sites would be at risk too.

I think they should lower the age to view porn to 13.

TGPs are probley MORE legal than other sites, solely because they just offer links to other sites(gallery pages). So, if they found a TGP owner guilty, they would have to go after every SE out there.

This is what rotten.com have to say about it all..

The net is not a babysitter! Children should not be roaming the Internet unsupervised any more than they should be roaming the streets of New York City unsupervised.

We cannot dumb the Internet down to the level of playground. Rotten dot com serves as a beacon to demonstrate that censorship of the Internet is impractical, unethical, and wrong. To censor this site, it is necessary to censor medical texts, history texts, evidence rooms, courtrooms, art museums, libraries, and other sources of information vital to functioning of free society.

Nearly all of the images which we have online are not even prurient, and would thus not fall under any definition of obscenity. Any images which we have of a sexual nature are in a context which render them far from obscene, in any United States jurisdiction. Some of the images may be offensive, but that has never been a crime. Life is sometimes offensive. You have to expect that.

The images we find most obscene are those of book burnings.

Please remember that no child has access to the Internet without the active consent of an adult. And absolutely no child should be left on the Internet alone. Supervision of children remains the responsibility of parents and teachers, as it always has and always will.

i am going to cut and paste that fuckin EVERYWHERE!!!!!

poor analogy http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/frown.gif

Anyways, if the tgp has a warning page, then there's no worries. If the tgp doesn't have a warning page, then the tgp owner would more likely get in trouble then the person who has a listing.

Anyways, if they went after you, then they'd also have to go after yahoo. Yahoo links to illegal stuff, one example fake celeb content. If yahoo hasn't gotten sued, shut down, or gotten a warning, do you think that you will??? Doubt it. Just don't mess around with cp.

I agree with that post by Susan.

Plain and simple I am sick to death of parents who sue people for stupid shit their kids do. Did anyone hear about the kid who set himself on fire because he saw the guy on Jackass grilling steaks on his body with a fire proof suit? The mother of the kid is suing mtv because her 14 year old son has no common sense.

Yahoo also hosts child pornography on there servers http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/frown.gif

Muff

NakedChik. I heard of that.

You know why so many people sue in America?
And so few in Canada?

American's don't have to pay legal costs if they lose. Canadians have to.

Did anybody read that article a few weeks ago by ZDnet? They sent in anonymous complaints about CP "clubs" being hosted at Yahoo! - several months later complaints about un-encryption programs for DVDs were complained about. Yahoo responded immediately to the complaints of the movie industry, the CP still hasn't been effected.

Some good points in this thread. I've got to go with my opinion that the net isn't for children, never was - that's just a lie Gateway and Dell dreamed up to triple their sales. If a parent isn't smart enough to protect their children they shouldn't be parents.

so you guys don't consider lolitas kiddie porn? Half the chicks on tgp's are underage girls who are sick of whoring on hollywood boulevard. Who is going to take the time to verify the age of all these bitches? Jeb? George W? There's alot of lawyers out there enforcing copyright law but they don't give a fuck about underage women being raped and shit on.

From what I see it seems like posting pictures of Alyssa Milano is an offence punishable by death but posting naked pictures of minors is A O.K.

Laws are written for the rich by the rich so that the rich can keep on keepin' on. Broken laws that don't affect a rich man's money clip just keep on getting broken.

How right you are sweetjimmy and theres no place like the UK for that shit !

Please. So if someone says "lolita" you think they're really underage? I've got a bridge in 'frisco you might be interested in.

C'mon now some of these chicks look like they've been picked up straight from the bus station. The site may say the girls are 18 but who's gonna prove it? You? Do you know how easy it is to falsify documents? The point is if they look like they're 15 they might as well be 15. Just like if a girl looks like she's being raped she might as well be. If people make rape photos or lolita photo they want them to look authentic. And hiding behind the fact that the girl is not "actually" being raped or is not "actually" 15 doesn't change the fact that your trying to make money off of potential rapists and child molesters.

So good job Warphead keep making those perverto dollars.

I live by frisco, which bridge are you talking about??? not that I'm interested but wondering...

aztek-

its an old expression

"i'll sell you a bridge if you'll buy it"

well it goes something like that. you say that to people that believe everything.

Hey SweetJimmy, I don't do "lolita" or "rape" galleries - I don't even like to list bondage galleries. I like my porn pretty and spiritually uplifting.

I'm just saying that I don't think content providers are as careless as you do. Ask Lensman how many of his models are underage - bet he can tell you with a reasonable amount of certainty.

You said they were under 18, now you're saying it doesn't matter if they are or not if they look like it...

I'd have agreed if you said that in the first place - I don't think babes should look like kids and I definately don't think even pretend rape should be entertainment.

But if you want to argue with me, you're going to have to stick to the topic - don't argue something else and pretend that I'm wrong.

Back to the topic at hand. Are TGPS legal? Honestly I don't know ask a lawyer. I assume you can afford on if you are in this business. I do know of one very popular TGP(that will remain unmentioned) that stopped listing anyhing but softcore pictures. I asked the owner of this particular unnamed TGP why he did this. His response. He believes that our new president George W. is going to crack down on the internet and enforce all the obsenity laws and so on so forth. I personally belive that he is going to find himself to busy with China for awhile.

what was the topic at hand? And what is this "softcore" TGP?

Warphead that's my point it doesn't even matter if they are 18 if they're trying to look like their 15. Even if the models on your site are 18 your defeating the purpose of having that law in the first place. All you'll accomplish is giving perverted old men material to beat off too before their next cruise on the track looking for 14 year old hookers.

Sweet Jimmy
Why do you have such a hardon for tgps?

Anything found on a tgp was made by a gallery maker...
You really shouldnt go around knocking the tgps for listing galleries somebody else makes.

I personally will not post ANY galleries with ANY girls that actually look to me to be under age..the obvious ones.
I mean..there is no way to know how old these girls are on the galleries submitted
unless I ask for proof of age from every submitter..for every gallery he submits..
Now dont you think thats abit insane?

TGP's "by law" are considered Link databases
and nothing more...Just like any search engine.
(Unless the tgp puts pics on his pages of course) ...


So I dont really understand why you would say such an ignorant thing as I have you quoted above

Ahha! http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/wink.gif

Do you know why I would post something so ignorant? Because I AM ignorant. Why else would I be posting on this stupid board?

Ignorance is Strength.

ignorance is not strength.

accepting our ignorance to better increase our knowledge is strength.

don't mix 'em both.

A little knowledge can go a long way

Assmore,

I thought it was "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing." http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif

SweetJimmy,

I know what you mean, in rame they call it PFP - porn for pedophiles - when the girls pretent to be little girls. I think it's pretty sick too (and it's illegal in the US now).

But yes, TGP's are legal. It's a link site, it actually has less to risk than other free sites (ones with their own content). It's actually looking pretty good for TGP's and link sites since the trend in recent legal actions is that a URL is like a phone number. So if that holds, link sites will be considered "phone books" http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif

why do you bring the old posts back ?

LOL@DarkJedi
who got the post back???

Maybee the reason TGP traffic sucks so bad is because most of it is underaged kids with no credit cards.
