My friend is laywer, gave me these inputs:
- There's no place in 2257 it says you need to post model infos in public.
- The US webmasters need to keep private records for potential inspections, which obviously those outside US don't need. 99% of the effort is about those private records.
- EU has laws about data protection, which mean it is legal to keep records as long the models are informed and accept it.
- To do inspections of sexually explicit content, the US webmasters are forced to publish their name/company name and street adress. However non-US webmasters can not be forced to do this, which is violation of european privacy laws (and freedom).
- If you are hosted on US servers, you need, and that is the best you can do, to publish where inspections of content can be done (that is your sponsors/primary producers).
- If you are hosted outside US, you are technically not on US market as long your actions are "passive", and it is a question of who activated the datapackets; if a US surfer visit your site, then it is the surfer who is responsible for his own actions - not you. If you send data, like an email, then you is responsible.
- There is no such thing as extradiction (he was laughing at me there), as long you don't break your local laws and the "crime" is not of more serious matter. If you want to travel to US and worry about it, you can check with US embassady and/or your local enforcement if you are "clear".
- Always follow your sponsors TOS. If it is too hard/non profitable, then move on to others. If you are in doubt about something; then ask them - don't assume.
