webmasters censoring pics - GoFuckYourself.com

If webmasters censor harcore pics does that release them from 2257 docs as secondary producers? Also, if a webmaster was to take a softsore pic and censor it (with a black line or blur) to make it look hardcore do they then need the records for that? Any comments are appreciated. My friend thinks they are exempt from 2257 docs. I disagree. Any opinions?

If your friend has a naked picture of a female, censored or not, on his or her website then no they are no exempt from the 2257 regulations.

But what you need to make most clear to your friend is that it is always, always, always better to be safe than sorry. Always err on the side of caution.

If that girl is clearly naked, doesn't matter if you blotted out her boobies, you still need to be able to prove that at the time that photo was taken she was 18 years of age or older.

In addition to 2257, 2256 contains a little more info as well.

Many Sponsors State in the TOS that you cannot alter images with out approval.

Just a thought.
