It depends on the images you use. You can link to all the hardcore sexually explicit content you want if you do it with text links or softcore banners and images, and avoid the 2257 issue entirely.

2257 applies only to 'sexually explicit' content that is actually on your own domain. Many sponsors are providing softcore banners for their affliates to use.

Ah! I just was thinking to change from adult industry to another!

My idea is to have only text links and banners very softcore, (like some ll), because only text is not nice.

Thank you very much.

Some sponsors are now providing hot-linkable hardcore banners, which according to them bypasses your need for 2257 requirements.

Now to see if the LL will allow us to hot-link banners from another domain.

I know me and RawAlex went back and forth a few times over this issue as to whether iFraming actually moves the content off your domain, and thus negates the 2257 requirements. So do you and your lawyers feel that this is a way to avoid the problem?
