Softcore content, post 8/24

[lassiter]

I'm curious to get LL and TGP owners' opinions (well, everyone's opinion actually) on the feasibility of making softcore-only sites that actually don't contain "sexually-explicit" content as described by Sec. 2256(2). Will LLs and TGPs generally accept sites with content softer than the definition below?

(2)

''sexually explicit conduct'' means actual or simulated -

(A)

sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or opposite sex;

(B)

bestiality;

(C)

masturbation;

(D)

sadistic or masochistic abuse; or

(E)

lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of any person;

We talk so often about "not giving the surfer the hard stuff" on the free end. How little can we actually given 'em and still make sales? I'm asking 'cause there is no way I can be present in my "primary place of business" from 8am -6pm 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and may well have to try and serve softcore-only content on my domains so that I don't come under 2257 inspection rules at all. Does anyone think it's possible to make reasonable sales that way? Obviously it would be easier to sell big-boob sites than anal DP sites. Or would it?



(Note: I work at least 8 solid hours a day on my business, but that's on top of the 8-5 other job I still have, and so I'm usually not "in the office" during DoJ inspection hours. I get the feeling many of us have been ignoring that part of the regs and depending on the lack of inspections and "playing the odds" but my attorney says it looks from the choice of wording and emphasis in the new rules that the DoJ does not intend to ignore that 8 to 6, 7 days a week rule for web businesses and they cannot advise anyone else to ignore it either.)
