I dont know more about this than I am beeing told, but I am sure that we need to check into this some more. Cause after the the 2257 regs it says
" If primary producers in foreign countries decide to
comply with their home privacy laws and not provide materials to U.S.
entities, the regulation will chill the availability of materials and
speech to U.S. citizens. The Department declines to adopt this comment.
The rule is no different from other forms of labeling requirements
imposed on foreign producers of, e.g., alcohol, tobacco, or food items
that are imported into the United States. In order to sell in the U.S.
market, foreign producers must comply with U.S. laws. This rule applies
equally to any sexually explicit material introduced into the stream of
commerce in the United States no matter where it was produced. Foreign
producers have the option of not complying with the rule, but then
their access to the U.S. market is justly and lawfully prohibited.
So if you still want to market your sponsors towards the us marked you need to comply with the new law. But I guess having your stuff hosted in some other place than the US might be good just in case.
But be careful where your host have their servers located and find out about the local laws as mentioned here: http://www.klixxx.com/archive/goingdutch.shtml |
Bullshit. If my hosting is out of USA, that US visitors at my sites are NOT US market!!!
It's the same if US guy goes to Neatherlands and buy there drugs. It's legally in that country, so it's legal to sold drugs in Neatherlands to US people. Here we see the same, if my company isn't US-company and my sites are at non-US hosting it's not a US market and everything is legal.
