Sponsors, Please help! 2257 and Free Content

Alex - I would tend to disagree with the statement that if the sponsor is hosting it that you still need docs - I can link to anything I want (including imbedding images hosted other places just as Google does with their image search) as long as I am not actually physically putting it onto my server I dont believe that would be covered.

Then again - I guess this means that any newstand that carries Hustler and little fast-stop that carries magazines will have to have 2257 docs for every magazine they sell - sorry - just doesnt wash out right - Im just an affiliate not a producer - I dont care what all the psuedo lawyers have to say

you'd still needs the docs if you're hotlinking images because you hold editorial control over the site's content, iframing also.

I think you are reading way too much into this - here's what the DOJ said when these type comments were made:

"Two commenters commented that the definition of producer in the
proposed rule was too broad and would encompass a convenience store
that sold sexually explicit magazines or a movie theater that screened
R-rated movies. The Department declines to adopt this comment. As the
rule makes clear, mere distributors of sexually explicit material are
excluded from the definition of producers and under no plausible
construction of the definition would a movie theater be covered merely
by screening films produced by others"

I do believe this would be exactly the same thing that say a link site doing some advertising would be doing by using the sponsors advertising - since you are not "digitizing" anything - just adding a link to it
