I used to run/co-own an amateur site that used 100% submitted pics. The guy who started it lives in Germany. I used to exspress my concern about 2257 compliance to him all the time. He viewed it as a bridge to cross when he came to it.
He still has the site opened (on US servers no less) and still no 2257 on at least the vast majority of that site (its been awhile since I last visited it.)
But there are several submit your pics amateur sites out there that have monthly contests for the submitted pics and they all seem to do well. But last time i checked they didnt have a fee that someone had to pay.
if that works its genius LOL
