2257 rules: All sig posters will need 2257 info?
 

I am thinking that anyone with a sig file with an image in it is going to need to send a copy to GFY to prove the content.

Interesting issues coming down the road.

yep and it's total bullshit imho

Especially considering message boards and p2p are the top ways that real CP are distributed in the first place! Owners of those sites have virtually no responsibility, while owners of sites that use by adult for adult content are subjected to this muck-a-muck. :disgust

Very true, but it's like always: If you can't catch the big fish (real criminals), you catch the small ones (webmasters) and call it success. :mad:

I don't see how Google is the same since users post the material on a public forum (which is acting as the carrier of goods from one party to another) as opposed to Google who goes out and seeks/repackages/redistributes the content on their own without the permission of at least one of the parties involved.

Like the other guy said it's total bullshit. Large companies with the resources to put up a fight are given a pass while the smaller guys get fried.

Oh, this is one interesting tid bit to extend the common carrier arguement since there still seems to be a level of accountability on the part of Google if it is in fact a common carrier:

"A common carrier is absolutely liable for goods carried by it"

How are you so sure?
Where is your law degree?
I would also like to see some sort of proof to this claim that they WONT have to comply show it in writing if you can that these Within the U.S. companies are exempt from this!

it is all bull shit, like i have said before "land of the free



































































to go fuck yourself

those days of being free are gone just like the sitcom

I think my sig is exempt.

I have a feeling that won't carry much water in this case. GFY isn't a common carrier, they do edit posts, ban people, and limit the content of sig files. By nature, the exercise editorial control over the content of the board, and as such are not "blind" common carriers, but a service provider (and secondary producer as a result).

That nice picture of Sunny is the corner will certainly need a 2257... as will many of the images from the pheonix forum.


Also: I am wondering how this will affect Fubar and JFK... some of those images are explicit, and not all of them are taken at public events (no "news" exemption).

Anyone?

good to know:thumbsup































see sig:pimp

Thats what my lawyer worries about. You should be SUPER worried with your 600+ sites, all those tgps and blogs. lol :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
