It's true that is an oldish .pdf but it's hard to find current info and that was the best walk through I've seen on 2257 and I thought it might be helpful...

I found this at avn.com, thought it doesn't help with understanding anything it is interesting...

FSC Plans to File Lawsuit Challenging New 2257 Regulations
Free Speech Coalition Executive Director Michelle Freridge announced at tonight's FSC meeting that as soon as the new, more severe federal 2257 regulations are released, the FSC plans to file a lawsuit on behalf of the industry, seeking an injunction prohibiting any prosecutions under them. Freridge said the FSC will take a pro-active approach, and will not wait for any such prosecutions to be initiated before it files its suit. The new Federal Labeling & Recordkeeping Law regulations could be released by the Department of Justice as soon as next month, she said, stressing that the FSC is seeking financial support from the industry to fund the litigation. Further details of this story will posted on AVN.com on Friday.

Regards,
SF

To late, everyone is in a panic already. I hope everyone remembers we still need to see what he actually sign.

Yep its panic time again. When the purposed regulations came out last year my attorney and I looked at them. One has to remember that those purposed regulations apply to the use of hardcore content only. Whatever the final published regulations say this will turn out to be a long drawn out court fight before we know for sure. Even assuming a worst case scenario we will still have have link lists and TGPs but they will probably be just softcore.

Since I did my first site in 1999 I've always put a link to a 2257 notice at the bottom of my index page even though I only use softcore pics. Perhaps we all should do that.

So I guess we're waiting for tomorrow's edition of the Federal Register? Or how long do these laws take to get put into it? Getting a legal primer here.

Hi guys,

If I link to a gallery using a text link does that make me a "secondary producer" ?

I've been following this 2257 thing and I never see that point made, which is unusual considering how many sites contain nothing more than a set of external links.

Take care,
Emperor
