But this part may be where a thumb TGP get included as publisher:

snipped from the section Sinistress posted: "...editorial or managerial decisions concerning the sexually explicit content of a computer site or service"

A thumb TGP makes editoral decisions regarding what they post, SE's don't.

Doesn't google (or any other search engine) make an editorial decision (based on their algorithms if not human intervention) on what kind of content from what site they publish?

As it is google uses our content (without any regards to copyrights) to sell its own advertisments around and now they should be exempt from a law that nearly puts half of us out of business?

Okay, I may sound pretty cheesed about it. I just paid a fortune to my lawyer |shocking|

So if you were on the jury, you would conclude that the Thumb TGP made an editorial decisions to publish the thumb supplied to him by a submitter?

I have a few sites with thumbs from free hosted galleries and hosted free sites. I bet I will take them down by 06/23.

I don't know anything about this really, I'm just trying to understand it a little bit better before I get some news from the lawyer. So don't take anything I say seriously, I'm just a pronographer

To me there is no real difference between Google Images and a thumb TGP. Both provides the same service, both stores the images locally.

But if there is a difference (legally) between for example Google Images and a thumb TGP, I would say that it is because we choose what we want on the site. Google spiders the web and just adds what it finds, with no editing.

One uses an "AI and the other uses a real person(plus scripts) to do the editing, maybe.

Also there seems to be an indication that they don't want to persure dynamic generated pages. Might be a hole that people can exploit. If so, TGPs/MPGs/LL might have to start allowing it if they want any WM content for their sites.

I don't have a problem with the record keeping for the most part, except, for the putting addresses on the web pages part where the general public can access them.
