How to comply with 2257/4472 >>>>
 

It is real simple, for each domain you use one sponsor and host on there servers, you also make them half owner of that domain.

Sponsors could help by buying up domains for affiliates to use! In that case there are a few in my sig for sale!

Nice one :)!

Or simply don't host sexually explicit content. If you do, document your ass off.

.

there are a couple of problems with this. Say a sponsor buys you a domain and keeps it in their name and you use only their content. Cool. you sill have to document the urls that this content is on and cross-reference the content on those urls. So they would have to have some way to get that. Either you would have to enter this info in their webmasters area for them to add to their database or they would have have someone that enters it. If they trust you, they are trusting you with their freedom because the domain and content are in their name so if you fuck up and don't submit all the urls correctly and they get checked they may fail the inspection. If they do it for you they would have to hire a group of people that did nothing but check every domain that affiliate use every day and enter in all the new urls. Either way it would be a huge pain in the ass.

i talked to lawyers about this and it doesn't sound like an option. if you run the site - make the decisions and all that stuff - it doesn't matter who hosts it. nowhere in the law does it refer to where content is hosted or who owns the domain.

True. Basically if the owner/controller/decision maker is in the US, hosted in the US or is a US citizen in another country - the crap applies.

soooooo gay, webby i think you need a new sig on account of this, maybe "4472, another penis in our butt"



lolol

lol
Well, that's something we chewed over not long ago and I mentioned on this board Gawd knows how many times.

At the rate laws are being churned out - it's inevitable there is going to be a few obstacle courses to overcome.

Somehow, - doubt this may end up as bad as some may think, else it's too insane, but going to check with lawyers prob at the start of the week and see what avenues are available. (They also deal with US law and the status of US folks - so will see what comes from that).

PS.. I mean in relation to operating "outside"..

It also applies if you do business in the US, i.e. sell to US citizens. I'd like to see non-US TGP owners wiggle their way out of this one.

Man.. they can jump into the ocean as far as the vast majority of "international webmasters" are concerned and whine and moan till doomsday. The only laws which apply to "external webmasters" are those in their own country.

Dunno yet, but suspect the elements of the original 2257 will also now be disregarded by those operating outside US territory. That was at least a basis to use as a standard, but smell that may now be wiped - sadly.

For my :2 cents:, I don't host, trade or have any biz in the US - if a citizen wants to sign up, that's their business and up to the US to pass a law prohibiting this for their own people. Nothing would be a surprise on that - just look at the gaming farce.

Each country has it own laws (thank God!) , and if there are any relevant crimes that need to be investigated, I'm sure FBI will notice the foreign local authority. And from there, local laws apply (unless they gonna put webmasters on Guantanamo)

However, how it will affect the TGP owners is not the US law, but policy changes from billing companies and paysite owners.

In some cases it won't matter where you live, model information will not be shared.

It's really very simply stated that the person who maintains the site is responsible. In short, if you are uploading sexually explicit content to the site, then you are responsible.
