2257 and designers
 

What is this going to mean as far as portfolios or samples?

take down the portfolio, problem solved ;)))

Welp ya better just leave the biz, thats the only solution.

u people are taking this 2257 shit too far..

I'm not worried about it at all as I live in Mexico....I was just curious as to how the designers in the US are handeling this situation. If you have a portfolio up, you would obviously need all the docs for models used on all the sites you display. And if you are using sites in your portfolio that you designed for comanies not willing to give you 2257 docs or they just don't have the docs, well then...I guess you can't use that site in your portfolio...

So, do you just keep the url to your portfolio hidden from the public and only give it to clients who want to see your work? Or are you saying "fuck it, they aren't comming after designers' ?

No, I think the US government is taking 2257 too far :(

why don't you just link to their site???

That is easy to do, although when you do that, alot of the time the client starts bitching about the pop ups or redirects... I guess a US designer could make screenshots of their sites and send them to potential clients thru e-mail or something....
