met-art threads vanishing.
 

Ok well i think it warrants a thread, i think the mods were deleting the threads because the poster wasnt providing proof in the same post as he made accusations.. if you wanna make accusations post proof in the same post.

Smokey did you know that

"Only You can stop forest fires?"

Unless i start them when im drunk then i'm no good.This Fur is a bitch

LOL but strangely the guy replied with links hosted on met-arts domain which was basically a list of a books to buy on amazon to find nude underage girls in.

Like I said in that thread, if some newbie came here and got caught with that shit on their site, they would have been trashed.

true but cp is a serious accusation, if you start a thread about it , the proof should be in the first post .. im sure a mod looked , didnt see any proof int he first post and canned it..

Agreed. I hate those threads that just warn that "drama is comming", its like, christ, just spill the beans, we dont need a fucking intro.

but he did post it - and it was there when the thread was axed.

No proof ... no thread ... This is a serious accusation and shouldnèt even be made here... If someone has CP, they should be reported to authorities... :2 cents:

Yes - and fuck it - I will say it - That was CP on those links.

Mods - dont blow my faith in GFY - this is pretty underhand stuff.

LOL, what a surprise.

Too bad its cached on multiple search engines :1orglaugh

i thought you were talking about metropoltan museum of art here in NY

Dear god - are they pushing CP as well? - now thats drama :winkwink:

Some of those girls do look a bit young. How could they stay open for so long if they were breaking laws. It's not like it's an underground CP site. They are one of the most recognizeable porn sites on the web.

Its art :mad:

It's not art if it is pushed on a porn site - context is VERY important.

Woot, http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...083411-9256759 is dead now too ;)

well i remember back in the day you would see met-art pictures on the newgroups and they certainly looked like cp to me.. , but i was never sure if it was just rogue affiliates or what.. after i saw them on gfy i looked at the site and it looked fairly clean so , dont know if they cleaned up their act or always skated the thin line

I'm not going one way or another on this whole topic, but look at Met-Art's home page - I'd say at first glance they are definetly pushing the "art" angle here.

Kevsh, it is a question of the old "prurient interest". You have girls kissing, spread legs, exposed genitalia, etc... all the things required to make it "porn" rather than art. I know that their defence would always be art, but the reality is that it is just higher class spank material for people who prefer that sort of thing.

As a side note, Met-art specifically blocks off the wayback machine from caching past pages... most interesting.

Alex

the pictures on the front page are all over 18 and they have 2257 for those .. the other girls def appeared younger ( in the links posted )

search GUBA for it lol

lol - now thats a whole new drama! :1orglaugh

Post proof or this thread is closed!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh OMG that would rock! I wouldn't have to crop a bunch of teen thumbs but simple move my granny thumbs over!

MET-Art Speaks
 

I am the lawyer for MET-Art. Credentials are below.

I have reviewed thousands of images and the associated identification documents for MET-Art. MET-Art is in full compliance with 18 U.S.C. section 2257. There are no images which are of persons under eighteen years old.

It is the easiest thing in the world to make an accusation that a website or other content producer is distributing child pornography. That is especially true in an anonymous forum like this. But the law is quite different than the mob, or a malicious, anonymous liar claims.

Distribution of child pornography is a crime when it is _knowing and deliberate_. If you distribute a photograph of a model, when you believe in good faith that s/he is 18 years old, but the photographer provided you with false documentation and related assurances, you have committed no crime. I have reviewed the documentation. There is not only no reason to believe any of the models are underage, there are thousands of documents supporting that the models are of age.

If the accuser actually had information that any model were underage, (a) they would turn it over to the Feds or other reporting agency, or (b) specify which model or photoset they believe depicts an underage person. Why would someone who had ?proof? satisfy themselves with defaming MET-Art? If they were as hostile as the postings suggest, why alert MET-Art? Why not just be a Federal snitch?

It makes sense to post a child pornography allegation here only if you are lying. Otherwise, if you are hostile, rat them out and if you are neutral, tip off the management. If you have nothing but malice, all you can do is to post vicious lies, confident that some people always believe the worst.

Regarding the static about the book, years ago MET-Art linked book sales through Amazon.com. MET-Art sold no books itself. Someone fetched inactive pages. The links have not been active on the live site in years. If there was questionable content in any of those books, Amazon is the one that sold them.

MET-Art has the highest end nude photography, and outstanding documentation of legal age. It is inevitable a jealous competitor or a jilted photographer seizes on the environmental paranoia and accuses the best of being the worst. The questions are: 1. Are you all going to fall for it? 2. Who are you going to turn to when some anonymous posting says the same thing about you?
