Otherwise, it is URL to IMAGE records, from what I could see.

Hmm, you've got me thinking. So... (merely conjecture here and a ton of wishful thinking) if I use a banner rotator that would make me exempt by virtue of the "dynamic" nature of the page, provided I'm interpreting this correctly. Interesting... veddy interesting
That having been said, in further ponderings over the course of the day, I've almost decided that this whole debacle could turn out to be a good thing (provided they drop the retroactive shit!).
And before you all decide to come after me with pitchforks, hear me out...
I've been screaming for years that giving away free hardcore porn was tantamount to shooting ourselves in the foot. Furthermore, I'm also an advocate of text over banners whenever, wherever, and as often as possible. I have absolutely no doubt that softcore content providers will be coming out of the woodwork in the very near future which will provide us with "safe" and "compliant" filler for our pages. Sponsors will also begin creating "2257 compliant" ad tools, merely to save themselves the agony of mountains of paperwork.
If we're smart we can use this whole stinking mess to our advantage.
"Hey, Joe Surfer... you want hardcore? Your freeloading days are over, pallie... too bad, so sad. Cough up the green or do without!" We could all see a HUGE jump in revenues if we're smart enough to seize the opportunity in front of us.
Trust me... anybody who knows me will tell you I'm certainly no Pollyanna and I realize there are still questions about what is deemed "obscene" and whether or not "censored" pictures fall into that category, but things are what they are and I for one am open to exploring alternatives that will keep me in business for a long time to come. If we are forced to change, surfers will be forced to change with us and that could be a good thing IMHO.
(Pardon the long post... I'm working a ton and a half of overtime lately and I don't have the luxury of posting my thoughts one at a time!
