Comming from SOuth, its most likely true.

Though it is earlier than expected ruling.

Thanks for the vote of confidence alienq

So far, it seems like a big win for webmasters over the incredibly ridiculous burdens they were looking to apply.. BUT, remember, existing 10 year 2257 still applies to all webmasters...and this is the 10th circuit.

What has not changed is the responsibility to be able to point DOJ to the content producer of any image you carry on your website.

So if you are playing the "knock knock, it's DOJ " game at home, look at any image on your site, and see if you can identify which content producer that is listed on your 2257.html page that image belongs to.

If you can't do that, then doesn't matter that the secondary recordkeeper requirements have been knocked down, you still have a 2257 problem.


Fight the rain on the parade!

Yes! Most Excellent!

"it appears as though the court has also struck down the requirement to keep a copy of the depiction as it applies to Internet chat sites, which may or may not include live web streaming."

that is great news!!1

Yeah baby!

Yes technically it is a small win in what should be a larger battle to rid the industry of 2257 there should never be a law providing you to prove you didn't do something

"If you can't do that, then doesn't matter that the secondary recordkeeper requirements have been knocked down, you still have a 2257 problem."

Only if you live in the "Free America"

That's great news.
